A Wicked-ly Good Time at PERCH Prom 2025
Noah’s PERCH turned the Community Center into the Ozdust Ballroom earlier this month! This year’s PERCH Prom theme was Wicked, as many of our residents and their peers are superfans of the musical.
Attendees showed up dressed to the nines in various shades of pink and green, donned tiaras, and wielded sparkling magic wands, and were welcomed by a beautiful balloon arch and a yellow brick road leading into the Community Center. Friends and partners brought corsages and flowers for their loved ones; Tim got down on one knee to give his girlfriend, Laura, her wrist corsage, a beautiful pink rose.
One of the most special parts of the evening was last year’s Halloween costume contest winner, John, passing his tiara off to his best friend, Alicia. “This is your year to shine,” he announced as he placed a tiara on her head. It was truly a beautiful moment, and the PERCH community celebrated Alicia immediately after by continuing the dance party.
Prom was a huge success thanks to our Noah Homes volunteers, and volunteers from the Board of Directors, the SPRITES of East County, and Steele Canyon High School. They all helped with pre-prom glam, setting up, decorating, take-down, and much more. Qolaj returned to Noah Homes to DJ the event with an incredible set of house remixes and fan favorites, too.
Thank you to all our PERCH members who always come ready to “dance through life” with us every month.
