Local junior high students will have the chance to dress up and dance the night away at the Jr. High Dance, set for Saturday, Oct. 25, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Colfax Civic Center.

Tickets are $20, with photos available for $10. Photographer Virginia O’Neal will handle pictures, which will be shared through an online album.

The event will also feature a Mum Contest, with the winner crowned queen. A king will be chosen by vote. Wristbands will be required for entry, with sale details to be announced at a later date.

Students are expected to follow a formal dress code. Jeans with holes, leggings, shorts, hoodies, T-shirts and sagging pants are not allowed. Anyone not adhering to the dress requirements will not be admitted.

Organizers stressed that no alcohol, vaping, fighting, horseplay, public displays of affection or inappropriate behavior will be tolerated. Rules also limit bathroom access to one student at a time.

Chaperones will be present, though parents are not allowed inside unless granted prior permission. Once inside, students may not leave until their names are called during pickup. Parents are asked to be patient with the line to ensure safety as students are released.
