When the lights glow and the music begins to pulse, the night sky comes alive inside the War Memorial. 

Calling all 6th–8th graders to join us Under the Stars for an unforgettable evening in the ballroom overlooking Lake St. Clair on Thursday, April 30, 2026, from 6:30–8:30pm. For two hours, we’ll trade textbooks for twinkle lights and transform the dance floor into a galaxy of music, laughter, and memories in the making.

Students are encouraged to dress for a night that sparkles. Think celestial shimmer, midnight blues, silvers, soft glows, or any look that makes you feel star-worthy. Whether your style is classic, bold, or a little cosmic, come ready to shine.

Gather your friends, bring your best dance-floor energy, and get ready for a night that feels like it’s written in the stars. 

Each ticket includes a voucher for one slice of Jet’s Pizza (pepperoni, cheese, and gluten-free available). Additional slices, chips, and cookies will be available at the snack bar for $2 each. Both cash and credit are accepted. A complimentary water station will keep dancers hydrated throughout the night.

Want to join the fun as a chaperone? Your child will receive a free ticket to the dance! Email ce@warmemorial.org if you’d like to volunteer.

Registrations MUST be purchased by the parent or the legal guardian for any student attending.

SALES END AT 12:00PM ON THE DAY OF EACH DANCE. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Students are required to have their school ID on their person in order to attend the dance.
