Everyone does them slightly differently but in our stake the stake young men and young women presidencies literally host the once a month stake youth activities. Saturday night was no different. We arrived at the stake center a little after 12 noon and finished decorating around 4:30 pm. The place looked great , The gazebo was a little labor intensive to assemble, a vestige of a church gym wedding reception of by gone days; but no more than the lights hanging from the ceiling and the walls in and out of the gym that looked like a fortress and ramparts with banners galore and green finery .It was a 5-stake priest - laurel alternate prom dance. The kids dressed up more than usual and the refreshments were a tad bit over the top as well. The Ward youth leadership don't attend at all.
After decorating went home, got dressed up, in time to chaperon for the rest of the evening. I know how to do a Saturday
So, undoubtedly one of the most interesting parts of the night was when a boy band from the Joliette stake asked if they could play a couple of songs during a break in the dance. I was deemed the appropriateness arbitrator . With the weighty responsibility of trashing the dance with bad music or giving it momentary zeal I opted to include three girls as my Mormon Idol judges. Kelly, Erin and Mackey were up for challenge and didn't mind meeting a few guys in the process.(below is setting up for the audition)
