The evening also featured various dance performances and lively group dances that encouraged everyone to join in and celebrate the occasion.

           One of the most anticipated moments of the event was the awarding of sashes, where outstanding students were recognized for their elegance, confidence, and charm. Instead of a coronation, the honorees received special titles and sashes to commemorate their achievements. Additionally, awards were given for the best-dressed individuals and dance partners, making the night even more exciting and memorable.

           The JS Prom 2025 was not just a night of glamour but also a historic event for Badiang National High School. Being the first prom ever held at the Cultural Center in Anda, the occasion set a new tradition and a high standard for future celebrations.
