Talk:Winter Formal

Needs improvement
This is an important article, but it needs major improvement. I will try and work on this, but I would prefer if whomever started this article worked on it more. Anyone who sees this please, help with the article. Thanks. Tarheelz123 (talk) 18:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks...I started this article after editing Prom and Homecoming articles. It links from Prom "Related" section.     Do you have some suggestions for it?    I will add a few things today.   I think it is notable because of among other things the commercial interest in the topic.  There are things for sale online and in shops especially for Winter formal such as "Winter Formal Gown" and "Winter Formal Hairstyles"99.141.182.202 (talk)BJS  —Preceding undated comment added 02:36, 26 April 2009 (UTC).
 * You could talk about the commercial interest. And perhaps we could add sections describing school events leading up to it, such as Winterfest at some schools, similar to Homecoming Week.  Some schools also have Winter Royaly, which we could add. Tarheelz123 (talk) 17:56, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I am checking with my school's principal and some students to research this. I never heard of it as "Winterfest" or "Queen of Hearts Dance" but I like the addition, thanks 99.142.88.82 (talk)BJS —Preceding undated comment added 12:52, 27 April 2009 (UTC).
 * Winterfest is the dance along with events leading up to it-similar to homecoming week. And Queen of Hearts Dance is another name some schools use if their winter formal is held near Valentines Day Tarheelz123 (talk) 23:09, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps you know more about the Winterfest aspect of this...I am coming up kind of dry. My high school does do winter activities such as sledding competitions between classes. But this doesn't seem to be related to Winter Formal. Otherbeach (talk) 12:29, 28 April 2009 (UTC)BJS
 * No, these aren't winter activities, but rather things such as dressing up for different days (like a spirit week).Tarheelz123 (talk) 00:27, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Well our winter activities, like sledding, were inter-year competitions and in retrospect part of a winter Spirit Week event...but since I don't have school confirmation, I leave these comments on the Discussion page. 99.142.88.82 (talk) 16:10, 29 April 2009 (UTC)BJS

Minor gramatical errors, as "peak" vs. "pique" one's interest...Good catch, thanks. 99.142.79.31 (talk) 13:39, 12 May 2009 (UTC)BJS

ok, this will have to wait until Winter and I can get more references particularly from my schools about Winterfest linkage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.141.196.200 (talk) 17:50, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I am not thrilled with "held elsewhere if the school can afford it" only because my school is quite poor and holds its dance at an external hall. But that is one school, so just my opinion. 99.144.215.16 (talk) 02:43, 22 August 2009 (UTC)BJS

Well my school is so poor this year they held a Sadie Hawkins dance at school instead of a Winter Formal. BJS —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.144.218.56 (talk) 13:57, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
