A Moment Like This

Originally sung by Kelly Clarkson, “A Moment like This” is a song that offers solace to those recalling an occurrence worth remembering for the rest of their lives. The song emphasizes specific and incredible events in one’s lifetime, which can be attributed to a special evening, such as their wedding day, birthday or school dance that leaves a mark in their memories.
On Dec. 10, many Alhambra students will be able to experience a moment that is so unforgettable that it will be accredited with a song that perfectly fits its description. “A Moment like This” will be the theme for the upcoming dance hosted by Girls’ League.
According to the Director of Girls, Justin Tran, students can expect that this year’s Winter Ball will be unlike any other. For the first time in Alhambra High’s history, a male president will be coordinating the event. Tran plans to take this opportunity to show that it is his passion and determination that will make Winter Ball truly amazing.
“There’s a sense of pride and accomplishment that I was able to prove that gender doesn’t really matter, but it’s the heart and spirit that you are willing to put into it,” said Tran.
Typically, Winter Ball includes dinner and a dance. Although this will traditionally be the same, students can expect to be amazed by the location due in part to the venue’s landscaping and the decorations that will create an unforgettable atmosphere. The premise to stay relaxed will be illuminated through the dance’s thematic colors–celestial blue, silver and white.
When asked about the color and theme choice, “It took a lot of discussion,” said Vice President of Girls’ League Priscilla Ngo. “We ultimately chose it because it fit [the atmosphere] that we want to create.”
Although the location and environment will set the tone of the evening, it is ultimately your date or friends who make the night truly amazing.
