With a chill in the air, several of the young men showed their chivalry by removing their suit jackets and allowing their dates to wear them to protect their bare arms and shoulders. Another new aspect of this year’s Grand March was that the Prom Royal Court was introduced first in pairs. The kind and queen of the prom would be named and crowned later in the evening at the prom. For some of these attendees, the introductions were made, then they rushed back into the line to go through once again with their actual dates for the evening. Crowds began arriving early in the evening and many enjoyed the live music of the Greg Glick Band as they found their best seat for viewing and waited patiently for the proceedings to begin. The emcees for the Grand March this year were once again Joe Ryan and “Fix 96 prize girl” Lisa Lindstrom. Jeff Maxwell of WLCN started the evening welcoming all the guests and introducing Ryan and Lindstrom. The emcees then recognized all the sponsors of the grand march event before beginning the night with the introduction of the royal court. Then for the next 30 minutes or more prom attendees came out from the sidelines to take center stage and then proceed down the red carpet. Prom continued later in the evening at the Lincoln Knights of Columbus. The annual Grand March, hosted by WLCN is also filmed by the radio station and will be available for viewing via its website, as well as on the Lincoln College Comcast Cable Channel 5 in about a week.
