    I've never been totally certain what a Prom is, and had absolutely no idea that British schools had Proms!! I am assuming that a Prom is the name given to a social evening of civilised dance? This surely has to be something new(ish)?

    OK I left school at the age of 18 in 1954, so I am out of touch with what goes on in schools nowadays (apart from there being a severe lack of discipline!!), but I have not even heard of school Proms taking place over here.

    Sorry, this is Off Topic but I am astounded to hear of such events being held in the United Kingdom, and as for giving them an American name............;);)

    They seem to be common in the U.K. now. In the U.S., the prom is the biggest dance of the school year, held in late spring.

    And those would be grades 11 & 12, but a grade 11 prom would be a junior prom, & I think most schools don't have those.

    I'm glad the lads recognize just how nice they look in the kilt.
