Every Zapp Hall Show closes its second week with a prom. Not a suggestion of a prom. Not a casual party with the word prom in the name. An actual prom -- with a theme, a dress code, and a crowd that treats both with full seriousness.
This spring the theme is Pretty in Pink: a throwback to the days of mix tapes, pink lipstick, and big hair. It is 80s prom night meets Texas cool, and it happens on Thursday, March 26 starting at 7pm. Free entry. Live music until midnight. Whether you are channeling Molly Ringwald or your inner cowgirl icon, here is everything you need to know.

The Music
Southbound 955 | 7-8pm
The night opens with Southbound 955. The crowd is arriving, outfits are being assessed, drinks are being claimed.
The Emotions | 8:30pm-Midnight
The Emotions take the main stage at 8:30 and carry the dancehall all the way to midnight. This is the part where the sore feet are completely forgotten. That will happen.
What to Wear: 80s Prom Meets Texas Cool
The official vibe is glammed-up denim, sequins, tulle, and boots that were made for dancing. Think Southern charm meets 80s high school cool. Think Molly Ringwald. Think big hair. Here is what that looks like in practice:
Lace, satin, sequins, and shoulder pads -- the full 80s formal situation
Pink cowboy hats, ruffles, and rhinestones -- the Texas prom look, period
Retro hair, metallic makeup, and statement heels -- big hair is the assignment
Tulle skirts over boots -- this combination never fails
For the guys: bold suits, velvet blazers, rhinestone bolo ties, cowboy hat with a tux jacket
Pro tip: spend part of your show day browsing the dealers in the field with prom night in mind. You might find your whole look before 5pm.
A Zapp Hall Tradition, One Theme at a Time
Zapp Hall throws a prom every single show, and every show it gets a new theme. Last fall it was Viva La Zapp Hall -- neon lights meets cowboy boots, sequins, feathers, fur, full rhinestone commitment. Sharon Stone energy. Elvis-suit energy.
Pretty in Pink is a different era but the same level of investment from the crowd. People plan their outfits for this. They bring their prom buddy. They treat it like an occasion because it is one.
Zapp Hall takes prom seriously. And so should you!
