prom night
Formal school evening
Prom night is the evening of a high school prom—a formal dance typically held for juniors or seniors near the end of the school year.
The phrase evokes the full experience: the dress or tuxedo, the corsage, the limo, the photos, the after-parties.
In American culture, prom night carries weight as a rite of passage, often romanticized or dramatized: She lost her virginity on prom night.
Horror films have made prom night a setting for teenage terror.
