 The Grand March began at 4:30 p.m. in the
history-filled gym under the theme “Enchanted Forest.” Couples made
their way from the stage to the center spotlight for photo
opportunities while a selection of songs played in the background.
Among those songs were “Seven Years” by Lukas Graham and “Landslide”
by Fleetwood Mac. A new Ed Sheeran song was also featured.

Following the Grand March the prom goers hung around the gym a while
for pictures with family and friends who had braved the severe
weather and ventured out to see them all dressed to the nines. Just
before exiting the gym there may have been a brief power outage as
the lights kept flickering off and on, but just like they say in
show business, the show must go on. Off to the prom they go.
The prom was held at the Community House in Emden. A dinner
featuring steak and chicken was served at 6:30 p.m. followed by
dancing until 10:30 p.m.

A Post-prom was held at the Emden Grade School from 12:00 a.m. until
3:00 a.m. The students enjoyed snacks, games and prizes at
Post-prom. A hypnotist also put on a great show for the kids there,
according to Kassie Eskew’s mom, Kim.
Despite the rainy weather, the day could be summed up in that new Ed
Sheeran song from his latest CD, Divide. The song coincidentally was
played at the Grand March and it is “Perfect.” The lyrics to the
song are beautiful and inspiring, just like those amazing young
adults who attended the 2017 Hartsburg-Emden Prom.
