Prom night is often seen as the most festive event of teenhood. Phillip Baggett manages to steer clear of the glamorous party plans and highlight the one stressful step taken way before the big night. This piece takes you on a journey with Baggett as he tackles the issue of asking a girl to prom. He even uses music to draw us in but there are no distracting lyrics. It's interesting to hear a guy go through the difficulties of asking someone out when it has become such a casual thing to do. It is also refreshing to hear him break away from the pressure to be macho and just be himself. His first attempt doesn't recieve very good feedback. He politely asks, "Would you do me the honor of going to prom with me?" Bagget is told that he sounds a bit too polite and old fashioned. He had a few suggestions on how he should ask a gril to prom before finally getting what he wanted, how he wanted. Perhaps he could have gone into detail about why it was so important to have a date to give the audience a better sense of who he is. Either way, he definately puts himself out there with honesty. Phillip Bagett's personal piece had a lot of personality which, in my opinion, is crucial on radio.
