With the winter season in full force, it is that time a year again when Carlsbad celebrates with the annual Winter Formal dance. This year the dance with be held at the Vista Optimist Club on Feb. 4. With the dance being held off campus, ASB brings a different experience for student with the theme for this year as Frost: a winter wonderland.

“We chose this theme because we haven’t had an actual winter theme for formal before,” senior Sierra Tontini said. “We thought it would be pretty with the venue that we chose.”

Tickets for the dance are now on sale. For students with an ASB sticker,  tickets will remain on sale until Feb. 3 for $30. For students without an ASB sticker, tickets will be on sale for $40 until Jan. 13. Tickets will then go up in price to $50 until Jan. 27, and then $60 until Feb. 3. Each student will need a dance contract to purchase a ticket, which can be printed out online.

“Students should attend formal because it could be underclassmen’s only chance this year to go off campus for a dance,” Tontini said. ” For upperclassmen it’s a good way to celebrate your last years of high school. We are going to have silent disco again and also unlimited churros, so the dance should be a really great time.”
