The next entry was a result of two friends working on the spring musical together. Senior Lizzy Fryer asked sophomore Ethan Cooley to be her date for this year’s prom. Lizzy knew Ethan was a good fit to make her night fun. Lizzy asked Ethan by incorporating fun wordplay relating to her solo she has in this spring’s school play.  Click the video link to the left to see Lizzy and Ethan’s promposal!

Promposer: Lizzy Fryer

Eagle Eye: Describe how you asked them to prom…

LF: It was at musical practice and I wanted to do something different so I chose the musical that I’m doing as a solo.

EE: Why did you choose this person to ask?

LF: I chose this person because he’s a really sweet guy and I wanted to make his day and we’re really good friends.

EE: Where did you get the inspiration for the idea?

LF: It honestly just came to me and I loved the way I wrote it out.

Promposee: Ethan Cooley

Eagle Eye: Describe your reaction to the promposal. Were you surprised? Was it funny? Romantic? Sarcastic?

EC: I wasn’t surprised it was an honest reaction for friends and it was a great way to end an amazing night of hard work.

EE: Did you know that they were going to ask you or was it a total surprise?

EC: I had an idea that she was doing it and I was very excited to get asked and go with her to prom.

EE: Why should you win the contest?

EC: We should win the contest because it was something different and out of the box. It was a generous question and answer and we are very excited to have an amazing night and make memories.
