Please post a comment here listing songs that you would like to be played at YOUR prom. We will take suggestions and requests until March 31st.

We will take all requests into consideration that follow the guidelines found in the Strength of Youth Pamphlet, included below.


“Music and Dancing,” For the Strength of Youth: Fulfilling Our Duty to God, 20

“Praise the Lord with singing, with music, with dancing” (D&C 136:28).

Music is an important and powerful part of life. It can be an influence for good that helps you draw closer to Heavenly Father. However, it can also be used for wicked purposes. Unworthy music may seem harmless, but it can have evil effects on your mind and spirit.

Choose carefully the music you listen to. Pay attention to how you feel when you are listening. Don’t listen to music that drives away the Spirit, encourages immorality, glorifies violence, uses foul or offensive language, or promotes Satanism or other evil practices.

Dancing can be fun and can provide an opportunity to meet new people. However, it too can be misused. When dancing, avoid full body contact with your partner. Do not use positions or moves that are suggestive of sexual behavior. Plan and attend dances where dress, grooming, lighting, lyrics, and music contribute to a wholesome atmosphere where the Spirit of the Lord may be present.

Doctrine and Covenants 25:12
