The holidays are right around the corner and with the holiday season comes Silver Ball at Randall High School. Silver Ball gives students a chance to do something fun in the otherwise dead winter season. People get all dressed up and usually go to a dinner with their friends or dates before, similar to prom.

This year, Silver Ball will be held on Saturday, Dec. 3rd from 8:00 until midnight. Tickets will be $20 in advance and $25 at the door. While it may seem a little early to start prepping, girls should go ahead and buy their dresses before all the good options are gone. You can find stylish and relatively affordable dresses at Dillard’s in Westgate Mall, or if you’re willing to spend a little more money, David’s Bridal has a good selection of formal dresses. If you would rather rent a dress, Apple Annie’s on 6th street has some stunning choices. Guys can rent tuxedos at Mister Doyce Tuxedos or Men’s Warehouse.

Many girls choose to get their hair and nails done for Silver Ball. Some good nail salons in Amarillo are Princess Nail Salon, Zen Nails and Spa, and Lux Nails. If none of these places suit you, there are many more nail salons around Amarillo. Many of these places also offer waxing and spa services as well. Some good places to get your hair done include Braxton Paul Salon, Wade Gordon, and Tony’s Hair and Nails. Ulta is also a good choice, because you can get your hair and eyebrows done while you’re there.

Whether you’re breaking the bank or getting glammed up on a budget or whether you’re going with a date or with friends, the most important thing is to have fun because Silver Ball only comes around once a year!
