Junior-Senior Prom 2017
Contact: J.McNamara (833-3300 ext. 1322) Prom is Saturday, April 29, 2017, from 8:00pm – 11pm, at The Emerald Coast Conference Center on Okaloosa Island. Dress is formal. Students will not be admitted to the Prom if not appropriately dressed. Tickets for the Prom will go on sale during lunch, beginning Thursday, April 20th – Thursday, April 27th. Tickets will be $30.00 each for juniors and their guests.
Seniors will receive one complimentary ticket and will be required to purchase a ticket for their date if the student is not a senior at FWBHS.
Seniors will still need to pick up a complimentary ticket during their lunch the week of April 20th-27th. If one of our students wants to bring a date who does not attend our school, the date must be old enough to attend high school, but not older than 20 and must be approved by the Administration. If the date lives out of Okaloosa County, our student must pick up a form and get it to the date’s school and ask that school to fax it back to us. Forms are available starting Monday, March 27th. We must have the form back by 2:15pm on Tuesday, April 25th in order to approve the date attending the Prom. Students, whose date attends an Okaloosa school, must pick up and complete a form. The form is due to Attendance no later than 2:15pm on Tuesday, April 25th. APPROVAL IS NOT AUTOMATIC! The student will be notified if the date is not approved. If the date is not approved, the student will not be able to purchase a ticket. Please do not purchase dresses, rent tuxedoes, or line up a limo unless the date has been approved, because if the date is not approved, he/she will not be attending the Prom. Both forms are available in the Attendance Office starting Monday, March 27th.
Monies Owed Contact: J. Tucci (833-3300 ext. 3326)
Students may pay with cash or check (made out to FWBHS) to Mrs. Lemasters in the guidance office. Please remember that students will not be able to receive/purchase prom tickets until their balance is paid.

Z96 Radio (WZNS) and Santa Rosa Mall are filling “The Z96 Prom Dress Store.” Dresses are provided free of charge to high school young ladies whose families may not have the financial means to purchase a dress for prom. Any girls in need will be able to “shop by appointment” for a free dress at “The Z96 Prom Dress Store” that will be located in Santa Rosa Mall.
This is the thirteenth year that Z96 has operated the “Z96 Prom Dress Store,” and last year about 100 young ladies received free dresses. A large number of dresses will be available, but we cannot guarantee that every girl will find a dress in her size or style.

Viking Singers and the Voices of Valhalla did a wonderful job at Choral MPA! They earned Superior and Excellent Ratings!

It is awesome to know that those tough judges gave FWBHS Chorus Superior and Excellent Ratings in performance and Superior Ratings in sight-reading (which is accurately performing a musical excerpt at first sight, with only 1 minute to practice)! We are proud of our Viking Singers and Voices of Valhalla!
Drama News
FWBHS presents Into The Woods Contact: C. Whittaker (833-3300 ext. 1819 or [email protected])
Fort Walton Beach High School continues its award winning season with James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s provocative musical, Into the Woods. Tickets are on sale now at the school office for this popular new American classic which opens Wednesday, April 19th, at 7:00pm, and continues April 20th and 21st, at 7:00pm and April 23rd at 2:00pm, at the Fort Walton Beach High School Auditorium, 400 Hollywood Boulevard, SW, Fort Walton Beach.
Into the Woods begins with beloved characters wishing for their hearts’ desire, and then examines what, ironically, can happen after “happily ever after.” Fractured fairy tales of a darker hue provide the context for Into the Woods, which deconstructs the Brothers Grimm characters by examining what results from getting what you wish for. While the faces and names are familiar, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack in the Beanstalk and company inhabit a neighborhood in which witches and bakers are next-door neighbors, handsome princes from once-parallel fables are competitive (and equally vain) brothers, and all the stories intersect through unexpected new plot twists. Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s musical intertwines classic fairytales with a contemporary edge and a strong lesson in the harsh reality of justice and fairness in an unpredictable world.
The original production premiered on Broadway on November 5, 1987, where it won several Tony Awards, including Best Score and Best Book. In 2014 Disney released the popular film version which featured Emily Blunt, James Cordon and Meryl Streep.
Cast members include Ben Tanner (Narrator), Abigail Morgan (Cinderella), Ariana Ellis (Jack’s Mother), Darby Ellis (Jack), Jake Hardy (Baker), Sydney Whittaker (Baker’s Wife), Azhia Ellis (Little Red), Jackson Henson (Rapunzel’s Prince), Grant Oberle (Cinderella’s Prince), Melody Murray (Witch), Jazmyne Kerns (Rapunzel), Sophia Metcalfe (Stepmother), Abrial Bonilla and Lexi Larkin (Stepsisters), Deandre Oats (Cinderella’s Father), Riley Beaulieu (Cinderella’s Mother), Parissh Phillips (Wolf), James Leon (Mysterious Man), Grant Graves (Steward), Claire Roberts (Milky White), and Carson Klaus (Granny).
Tickets are $10 in advance, and $15 at the door before performances. For more information, contact director Christa Whittaker at [email protected] or the theatre office at 850-833-3300 x1819.
