The best night of a school going teen's life is probably the prom night. It is like the culmination of point of all planning for a lot of school going teens and this is why prom safety should be a top priority amongst those who are organizing prom. Prom night is the night that everyone waits for, the night that everyone saves up for and the night for which planning starts more than a year in advance. However due to recent budget cuts everywhere and the usual budget difficulties faced by schools, many are considering the idea of merging the junior and the senior prom. This can actually lead to many different problems and compromise prom safety, which is very important to keep the prom goers safe. The junior prom and the senior prom both see a large turnout and there will be a huge crowd problem at the get go. And as every experienced organizer knows, crowd control is a huge issue in a lot of places. This crowd will be especially hard to control because there will be two distinctly different age groups and they will behave and react differently when faced with different situations. This makes it harder to chalk out action plans for the prom. The two groups are the juniors and the seniors and everyone knows that they don't always get along together. It is often the case that the seniors will want to dominate or the juniors will feel threatened by them or they just might not get along for some reason. This might result in minor disturbances to the peace of the prom and may even lead to huge fights that spiral out of control before any one has had the chance to realize what's going on. And in a crowded area, this can be especially difficult and challenging. The average prom budget is never big enough to hire a place big enough to comfortably accommodate all the juniors and seniors together. There will be space problems that itself is a potential safety hazard in case they need to be evacuated on an emergency basis. There will most likely be mass panic and a stampede at the location and people can get hurt. With such issues, the school may end up having to pay fines for the damages caused to the venue and also having to answer to the outraged parents. So it is always a good idea to keep the junior and senior prom dances separate. If it is possible, the prom dances can be held on the same day and at the same place, but on different levels. But such multi-level venues are rare and expensive. Hiring entertainment for a mixed group prom can be a nightmare as well. So separating the junior prom and the senior prom dances is really the wise thing to do if you want to make sure that every one has a safe and wonderful time.
