Here’s a brief of how our ball goes & its pretty safe to assume most will go something like this:
Starts with a reception at the bar (we drink a lot in the south & yes, they card the kids) then a receiving line forms up. All proceed to the dining hall for the colors, invocation, POW ceremony, & toasts. An introduction of guests then dinner. A formal cake cutting before the keynote speaker addresses the crowd. Then we do a drawing for door prizes. The kids walk away with some pretty good stuff. Cash, ipods, gift certificates, ect. From about 9pm to midnight, the d.j. rocks the room for the dance. A photographer runs around grabbing shots of the kids & also does formal shots. Those are priceless! Count on being crazy from about 6pm to midnight. It’s a long night but well worth the time to see all of the academy kids & their dates & parents. Especially funny if you’ve never seen your kid dance. :D
