Our son was invited to our state’s (Georgia) Service Academy Holiday Ball. I understand several other states likewise have service academy holiday balls during Winter Leave. Students from all 5 service academies are invited along with their guest(s).

What are these balls like? Is it something the average midshipman would enjoy? What are the typical highlights?
