Cadets will always “Remember the Hidden Night…”


The Military Ball went very well, just as planned. The event started at 5:30 when cadets and their guests arrived at the Army National Guard Readiness Center at USC Upstate showing off their flashy masks and gorgeous ball gowns. The evening opened with a tribute to MIAs/POWs. Attendees then enjoyed the delicious food which included meatballs, chicken strips, fruit and of course the infamous, chocolate fountain. Shortly after, the party began. Cadets had a blast dancing and breaking a sweat on the dance floor. After about an hour of dancing, guests took a break while the coronation ceremony began. The princes were presented with a boutonniere while princesses were given a rose and tiara. Stephen D’Amato and Rebecca Brock were voted Military Ball King and Queen for 2010!
After the coronation ceremony, there were a few special appearances by “The Grog King,” Kiss, and the Blue’s Brothers. After the exciting shows, cadets ended the night by dancing some more. The ball ended at 11PM. Guests were sad it was over but will always remember the Military Ball as a fun filled night!
