"The" is a use of singularity. In other words, "The" is used to imply 'oneness', that the following noun is the most important of all nouns. It is The United States, The Gap, and The Band.
Maleficient, I've noticed the deal with The Prom, too. Personally, it pisses me off. You don't go to prom - it shouldn't be generic - you go to THE prom.
