The proms are on the list of things I don't get. I mean, I can see why others might, but I just don't. I think it's down to only ever seeing "Land of Hope and Glory" and identifying the Proms for ever after with hordes of drunken, Union Jack waving Thatcherite yuppies. Which is a pity, because, well, The Albert Hall, sunshine, smart dressing, oh, and music, too.
