What a Utah high school prom looked like in the middle of the pandemic One student says, “This is the most normal we’ve felt all year.” | May 1, 2021, 11:00 a.m. (Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Cyprus students dance at the Cyprus High school Prom, at the Viridian Event Center, on Saturday, April 24, 2021.
Samantha Larsen started with picking out her dress, a light pink chiffon gown she could twirl in until the prom ended or she got dizzy, whichever came first. Next, she got her nails painted the same shade of pink, like cotton candy, and bought a corsage with just the right shade of pink roses. She also found a shawl, some shiny shoes and a clip to pull back her wavy hair.
