Once a year Concord High School seniors get the red-carpet treatment.

The movie-star like procession where pairs of students walk past waving crowds and rows of cameras is a tradition in Concord, which holds one of the last proms of the season.

The event used to be held at the Grappone Center tucked away on Constitution Avenue. This year, students lit up Main Street as the prom was moved to the Bank of N.H. Stage.

City police shut down Main Street for nearly two hours Thursday for the special event. Seniors have the day off from school Friday and will graduate Saturday at 10 a.m. at Memorial Field.
