We heard your feedback and want to make the Gala even better! That's why we've decided to do assigned tables this year. This will eliminate the frantic search for enough empty seats to accommodate your whole friend group. You came together, and you should sit together! Assigning tables also allows us to tell the hotel in advance what table has what entrees, which helps expedite their service. They work hard, and we want to support them however we can! So, make sure to have the list of names of everyone you want to sit next to when you register for the Gala. The form times out, and we don't want you to miss anyone. ❤️ Get your tickets at https://www.costumecollege.net/register

Time is ticking, and we're impatient to read all of your amazing class ideas! Put us out of our misery and Send! Send! Send!
