School ball costs set new records every year. “Interlocutor” has calculated how much it will cost to say goodbye to school in this crisis year.
The main expense item is the event itself. There are no uniform criteria; everything depends on the tastes and imagination of the students and, of course, on the financial capabilities of their parents.
– We have planned a large 4-hour program, which will take place at the school and was prepared by students, teachers and parents, so it does not cost anything - we have been using costumes for large dolls that will greet graduates for several years, we have our own photo and video equipment. Musical instruments and artists are also school-based,” Tatyana Konoplya, the director of one of the regular Moscow schools, told Interlocutor. – But the holiday, of course, will not end there. For the entire prom night, the guys and their parents will go to a large entertainment center, where a gala dinner and a disco will be organized. The entrance ticket there costs a little more than 3,000, and together with ordering a bus and escort, it came out to 5,000 per student.
5000 rub. – average Moscow price. The most expensive venues for a prom are the Grand Kremlin Palace and the Concert Hall at Luzhniki. Resellers sell tickets to these places for 10,000 rubles. Crocus-EXPO announced a mega-ball this year: about 6,000 rubles. with a banquet and 5000 if you chose only a buffet. Such prices for the evening of graduates of the institute are dictated by the capital.
The range of prom options is very wide - some schools in the outback limit themselves to a feast within the school walls and spend only on purchasing food (from 300 rubles per person). Such a modest holiday will be held in many cities with one enterprise if it has been affected by the crisis. At the other extreme is one of the capital’s schools, which has ordered a restaurant near Old Square. Parents of graduates chipped in 15,000 rubles each for it.
A boat trip, beloved by graduates of all times, adds another 1–3 thousand per person to the total amount.
In many schools, it is customary to chip in for “decorations” - balloons, bells, cards, alumni folders. This article, without frills, should not exceed the limits of 500–700 rubles. from the student. Filming a graduation party on DVD costs from 10,000 rubles, but you can save on this if the parents do it themselves.
The list of services for graduates is updated every year. This year, for example, one of the companies offers graduates to go to see the dawn in white limousines (from 600 to 6,500 rubles per hour). the most expensive one has already been booked for the whole night. In order not to embarrass yourself on the dance floor, teachers or parents can hire a choreographer and DJ who will teach schoolchildren to waltz (lesson from 1,500 rubles per hour).
Graduation is the occasion when you are not greeted, but seen off by your clothes. The simplest dress or suit will cost parents 2–4 thousand rubles, the upper limit is unlimited.
“We’ve seen both Dolce and Gabbana and Versace,” said Alexei Babur, director of a private boarding house in the Moscow region. – This won’t surprise us. I only asked one guy what brand his suit was - because he sat, lay, ran, and climbed in it, and everything fits perfectly. It turned out that a suit from a famous brand costs 20 thousand. We limit our graduates only in wearing jewelry: we ask you not to wear too expensive ones - after all, we are still responsible for them this evening.
Those who are really tight on finances will have to be smart. The Internet is already full of anti-crisis advice - how to organize a prom outfit from a top and two pieces of fabric, how to put on makeup and hair, so as not to look like Cinderella at this important ball even at a minimum of cost.
