This year's theme is Mystical Masquerade. The decor is mostly made of masks. Some students are choosing to make or purchase masks matching their gowns/tuxedos for the event, but they're not required to, Finkelstein said.

There's not a theme song this year but there will be a dee jay spinning tunes at the venue.

Victuals are being catered and include a buffet of "playful finger food and desserts."

Trends in prom dress this year include sequins and glitter for both guys and gals, according to some of Finkelstein's students. Apparently, some of the guys are planning to wear metallic suits.

The dance is from 8 to 11:30 p.m. on May 20 at the Samuel Riggs Alumni Center on the University of Maryland campus.
