A serious exercise in excessive consumption

After the 1960s, and especially since the 1980s, the high school prom in many areas has become a serious exercise in excessive consumption ...

Hi,
Is it right to interpret the bolded part in the above as "has become a worrisome event in which students spend money excessively?" Thanks.
