School Ball Organisers Fail in every aspect of this event

The school ball season which runs from the end of January threw to May with a few more in June, July and August is well and truly under way . As all the schools want to get them over and done with as the only thing students talk about is their ball. Only one or two schools in Perth Holds their "Graduation Ball" in December or January during school break. They do this as an incentive for their students to say in school and achieve by not allowing anyone that drops out,fails,or has disciplinary action taken against them during the year to attend the ball. The fact that schools organise the ball season at the same time as the peak wedding season means they pay more for every thing. It is simple economics 101 ,supply verses demand. The venues charge a premium because it is in high demand time ,the suit hire have to carry extra stock and there are only half the better limousines available as they are generally still on weddings until 6 to 7 pm. Even if the organisers delayed the ball start time an hour they would dramatically increase the number of limousines available. With the economic crisis these event arrangers at the schools might want to learn and then teach these economic lessons to the students. If the Schools held their balls from May to September or even in January they would reduce the cost by at least 25%. The generation x are being taught a very poor lesson that the don't have to delay gratifacation and can have every thing as soon as they demand it. Well i think the world is about to give that group of people a rude wake up shock that they might just have to econimise and save now.
