If you're on the fence about coming to the show tonight, we assure you that the prom theme is just a reason we created to get dressed up and dance. It'll be fun, you'll have fun, but be sure to show up early and dress the part*. Single? No worries, there will be plenty of singles at Rontoms tonight, so put on your dancing shoes and come on out.
