Earl Marriott Secondary’s grad fashion show is returning to the runway.
The event – set for April 20 – is a fundraiser for the EMS Dry Grad, which “provides the Grads a safe environment to celebrate their accomplishments with their friends after the Formal Dinner and Dance.”
According to a news release, the theme for the fashion show is ‘Back to the Future,’ and will feature more than 120 students strutting the catwalk in apparel from 16-plus clothing retailers.
The student models have been split into 18 groups. More than two dozen additional students are participating in supportive roles, including as MCs; lights and music techs; videographer and photographer; ushers; and for set-up and tear-down.
