Gehtto Dances
For four years I have been at this school and within those four years, I have yet to attend a dance that I could call anything but "ghetto." In fact, people from other schools are kind of petrified to attend Tilghman dances because they are so "ghetto." Teenagers dream of the perfect dances, but at Tilghman the dances are far from perfect. So why is it that the dances aren't always the dances of our dreams? One simple answer, we don't have the money to afford what is seen on those teen movies. You know, the ones with the big staircases and the ice sculptures. Homecoming is another dance that has never met up to my standards. I have never understood why this night is not made a bigger deal. We crown a king and queen, but after that, it's over.
Arriving at any Tilghman dance, there is always a group of people that are dancing in the middle of the room. They get all dressed up, get their hair done, and head to the dance to have a little fun. I am sure that everyone would be more than happy to donate their time and money to make their homecoming and proms the dances of their dreams. The fact that we don't dress up can be dealt with. It is just simply another night for PTHS students. But, at Tilghman, homecoming is not a big deal at all. People don't spend twenty dollars on tickets to prom to go in and have balloons as the main decoration. These dances are supposed to be special and the memories are supposed to stay with us for our entire lives. Although some students may get their hair done, the fanciest outfit that I have ever seen at homecoming is a pair of black pants with a scandalous top. a huge production out of homecoming night. I think that dances would be more enjoyed by the whole student body if the DJ were to play all sorts of music. So, lets not have anymore of those dances that other schools like to classify as "Tilghman ghetto dances. Usually the people that are daring enough to dance either can't dance or get stopped in the middle of their dancing by chaperones because their dancing is too vulgar. As for the appearance, it could be a little better.
