On Saturday, February 27 Grand Junction High School Executive Student Council held the Cottonball Dance. Unlike in previous years, the dance was held at Bananas Fun Park Special Event Pavilion.
“I thought that overall the ticket system and hosting the dance in the pavilion was awesome,” Aaron Jenkins, sophomore class president, said.
Bananas hosts teen dances at the pavilion, but this was the first high school sponsored dance to occur there.
“I think the dance ran really smoothly, and there was a great turnout compared to the regular dances,” Justin Reed, a manager at Bananas, said.
Executive Council supervisor Rose Willet not only agreed with Reed that it ran smoothly, she also felt that the students did a good job representing their school.
“For the most part, everyone was well mannered and responsible, and we had a pretty good turnout,” Willett said.
However, some students felt that one part of the dance was not as spectacular as the rest.
“The disc jockey was kind of a disappointment. He played techno way too much at first, but once he started taking requests it got a lot better, and he did have an amazing light display,” Jenkins said.
Other than dancing and music, hosting the dance at Bananas did come with another benefit.
“I feel that the dance was a definite success because the students were able to walk around and maybe play some arcade games or different activities around the park,” Reed said.
