This past weekend, Mission High School held a “green prom,” in which students powered the DJ equipment using a bicycle pedal powered stage. You can see the full photo gallery on Rock The Bike’s flickr account.

Bicycles and prom clothes are not the best mix. They should’ve have held a Green Depression Prom, and hired unemployed people to ride the stage-powering bikes.

Hello! I am a magazine writer. I am writing an article on 2009 Green Proms. I would love to speak with one of the students who helped make this prom green. Thank you so much!! You can email me at judie dot hurtado at gmail dot com.
where did you get the equipment for this prom? How did you put together the bikes and connect it to the equipment?
