What's the difference between winter formal and prom?

<p>I'd like to know because I plan on attending both.
How do students differ in dance and dress?</p>

<p>Mine only has prom. I'd say just wear any formal wear you like. I lol'd at all the guys who went out and rented tuxes last year. I just wore a pinstripe suit. As far as dance, it's basically anything goes, from what I could see.</p>

<p>Lol tayzonday I was totally gonna post that but then I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe there are some generic rules that apply to every school! :]</p>

<p>Aside from the weather outside, cost, name of the dance, and time of the year, I can't really help you.</p>

<p>^ "Weather outside" and "time of year" were pretty redundant. :rolleyes: Trollfail.</p>

<p>Just kidding, it was a good post. :)</p>

<p>PS: Isn't the weather the same all the time out in Cali? Oh GOD I'm clever.</p>

<p>lol POSEUR I AM SO JEALOUS OF YOU.</p>

<p>Yes, it's the same all year. That's why they have those silly outdoor cafeterias. Or is it just silly cafeteria? That's assuming that an individual cafeteria is actually called a cafeterium.</p>

<p>Wait nooo I don't live in Cali; I just pretend amciw does since I made that mistake like three times lol.</p>

<p>lol, I need to get out of Cali...I personally prefer the weather in Boston and NYC (yes, I'm crazy)</p>

<p>^ Unless it's extremely humid, summer on the East Coast isn't bad. I suppose I could deal with the winters so long as they're not the dirty slushy snow type.</p>

<p>In Los Angeles it gets awfully cold during the winter. Sometimes at night it gets as low as 50 degrees. The summer isn't as hot most people think though. At night it only gets up to about 85.</p>

<p>youre joking right? awfully cold =/= 50 degrees. the wind making it below freezing right now in the midatlantic.</p>

<p>was ThisCouldBeHeavn trolling? 50 isnt cold at all. in the winter, 50 is downright hot!
if its above 35 degrees and sunny, i'll go snowboarding in a t-shirt</p>

<p><bad joke="">
it's only cold if the temperature is negative... on the Kelvin scale!
</bad></p>

<p>seriously though, whats wrong with winter and snow and cold?</p>

<p>heavn must have been trolling. but the cold isnt that bad, it can just be annoying. i could wake up so much later if i didnt have to worry about scraping ice off my car, putting on boots/gloves/etc, and packing lunch cause its too cold to go out during school and risk losing my great parking spot.</p>

<p>Poseur, to answer your question, it depends on which part of California. If you live anywhere north of Sacramento, seasons actually exist. And btw, time of year was merely a reference to the month the dance occurred in. While the weather usually varies, it is a factor independent from the time of year. We had snow in April this year, after all.</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>Lol, same with me. But I would put up with four years of no snow to go to Stanford.</p>

<p>Well, yes, they're two independent things, but considering that you were just basing your statement on the time of year that the dances occur rather than looking at statistical data concerning the exact weather for every past instance of each of the two dances (it's safe to assume)... yeaaahhh.</p>

<p>And lol, I like how you said "same with me" to a statement involving getting out of California. Hmmm... have I convinced you?</p>

<p>Ya know, where I live 50 degrees is considered freezing cold (anything under 65 is considered reasonably cold)</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>True. But I also could have been referring to the specific weather on that day. I doubt the weather is identical every single day, in regards to average wind speed, average temperature, particulate concentration in the air and other factors. So generally, the weather during the winter formal will be different than that during the prom, regardless of the season or time of year. (This is really descending to semantics, lol.)</p>

<p>Haha, I'm not sure. The "same with me" was directed towards my like of Boston weather over California weather (although Oregon weather, especially where I am, still dominates both), not the fact I need to get out of California. After all, if everything works out, I'd be going to California, not leaving it.</p>

</p>

<p>Great minds clearly think alike... :)</p>

<p>Haha, where I live if it gets above 35 degrees anytime between october and april people wear shorts and t-shirts :)</p>

<p>At our school winter formal is open to all grades, while prom is just for juniors and seniors...and winter ball is winter-themed...</p>

<p>yeah, 50 and below is cold in Californian!!</p>

<p>for those in SD winter formal is the same as prom, except for prom more girls tend to wear ball-gown type dresses/floor-length. otherwise its tuxes and (cocktail/ballgown for eitherevent really) dresses.</p>
