The 67th annual Military Ball was held on May 6 at Burton Manor.
The night was filled with spectacular awards, dining and dancing for both JROTC cadets and their escorts. This formal event empowered all the participants to exercise optimum etiquette with a five course dinner.
This black tie affair was a fashion extravaganza with a burst of colorful ball gowns. After a majority vote, the highlight of the evening was Crowning of sophomore Niya Cox as CMA Ball Queen. Cox said “this years’ ball will remain in a class by itself.”
The celebration included many JROTC schools from around the State of Michigan.
For many cadets, this was their first event. As the ball concluded, it was past the legal curfew of many of the cadets in attendance. But the cadets were presented with a curfew waiver in order for them to get home and not be affected by the curfew.
Junior Taylor Ephraim said “the food and company was delicious and [the ball] allows students to reflect on a year of hard work.”
Sponsor Sgt. Gentry represented this year platoon with elegance and dignity. School Administrators also supported in this annual event.
