Bluffton High School's 2019 junior-senior prom carries a "Glitz and Glamour" theme this weekend.

"A Night at Gatsby's - Glitz and Glamour," is from 8 to 11 p.m., Saturday, April 27, in Marbeck Center at Bluffton University.

Jamie Erford, BHS teacher, said that the public is invited to view the decorated Marbeck at 7 p.m. on Saturday.

One change to this year's prom is that the promenade takes place outside between Founders Hall and Marbeck Center - along the sidewalk, as Founders Hall, is not available.
