	The Proms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Proms (also more formally known as The BBC Proms, or The Sir Henry Wood Promenade Concerts presented by the BBC) is an eight-week summer season of daily orchestral classical music concerts held annually in Central London, predominantly in the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington.
		Promming now refers to the use of the standing areas inside the hall (the arena and gallery) for which ticket prices are much lower than for the reserved seating.
		Although earlier promenade concert series had previously existed, the first Proms concert was held on 10 August 1895 in the Queen's Hall in Langham Place and was arranged by Robert Newman.

	The History of Prom
		Proms were first mentioned in the high school yearbooks of the 1930s and 1940s, but historians believe they may have existed as early as the late 1800s.
		Proms first began in the elite colleges of the Northeast, taking their cue from the debutante balls of the rich and well bred.
		The word prom is a shortened form of promenade, meaning a march of the guests at the beginning of a ball or other formal event.

	The band won't play on
		The whole point of the BBC Proms is live broadcasting of classical concerts to all who wish to avail themselves of its glories, free at the end of a receiver and ridiculously cheap at the point of delivery if you are prepared to queue all afternoon and stand all night.
		Open access is what makes the Proms a magnet for the world's great orchestras who, after the formalities of their overlong seasons, feast upon its effervescent atmosphere like nomads at an oasis.
		The fling of the Proms arises from a herd mentality bred in the 19th century when musicians had to cling together to earn a crust to feed their families and never settled for less than the union rate.

	The Proms
		The Proms' original main aim was to present to large audiences the widest possible music that is performed to the highest possible standards - which it still remains true to after 110 years.
		The Proms were taken over by the BBC in 1927 when Chappell announced its withdrawal of financial support.This was because the Proms were running at a loss and the BBC had established its status as a Corporation with a mandate "to inform, educate and entertain".
		Wood found private sponsorship during the Second World War for the Proms as the BBC announced that it was not able to support it.

	Prommers ruin the Proms
		Nevertheless, notwithstanding their transparent commitment, the Prommers are becoming detrimental to the populuist purpose of the Proms.
		The unpublished 2001 BBC survey reveals a more upbeat demographic than the one I observed -60% of Prommers were supposedly under the age of 35, 42% were women, 40% lived outside London.
		They form an elite at the heart of the Proms, an aging praetorian guard whose dominance of the arena actively deters the young and curious.

		The Proms are truly a part of the cultural and media zeitgeist.
		The conventional wisdom is: they take the Proms very seriously, both the music, of course, and the "fun bits.” What do I mean by "fun bits?” As we’ve been saying, The Proms concerts are full of traditions, not just the famous "Last Night,” but even on a regular night like last night (Prom 69).
		The Proms is the BBC Festival at the Royal Albert Hall that packs ‘em in by the thousands all summer for 73 concerts in 58 days.

	Limousine Digest - Cancel the Prom, Cancel the Limo
		Another trend Powers has seen is the traditional prom vehicles — six-, eight-, or ten-passenger vehicles — have started to become obsolete over the past 8 years as prom-goers increasingly request other vehicles.
		Unfortunately, having all the proms on the Thursday night right before graduation weekend has meant there are not enough limousines to go around and people have had to book limos from out of the area, taking away from our revenue base.
		There were guys in costumes 20 feet high with stilts underneath, lights all over with music blaring, incredible decorations inside, and even a crowd of 1000 outside the school as the limos pulled up, with announcements of the couples as they got out of their cars,” says Mehlsack.

		Thanks to the Proms, the prospects for new music, and its wider appreciation, are hugely enhanced.” In the 2006 Proms 27 living composers were featured and many others only recently died.
		I chose the Proms to survey, not only because it is the largest music festival in the world, but also because the BBC generally has a good record with regard to women.

	CNN.com - Georgia high school students plan white-only prom - May. 2, 2003
		Gerica McCrary said she cried when she heard about the decision to hold a separate white-only prom only a year after she helped bring fl and white students together in her rural high school's first integrated prom.
		Juniors are charged with planning the prom each year and last year they decided to have just one dance -- the first integrated prom in 31 years in the rural Georgia county 150 miles south of Atlanta.
		Until then, parents and students organized separate proms for whites and fls after school officials stopped sponsoring dances, in part because they wanted to avoid problems arising from interracial dating.

		For many fans who were fortunate enough to be at the Ahoy’, or elsewhere in Europe at the Proms, this provided their first chance to hear these songs similar to their original live glory.
		Slightly annoying was the possibly over-noisy standing crowd during the quieter orchestral moments, and the often-untimely interruptions by the compere during the evening, which tended to disrupt the flow of the music and the performance.

		The current chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Leonard Slatkin, has expressed a desire to tone down the nationalism of the last night somewhat, and in 2002 and 2003 Rule Britannia was only heard as part of Henry Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs (another piece traditional to the last night) rather than separately.
