The Cotillion season began with the Mother / Daughter Afternoon Delight and ended with the Presentation Ball. Monthly meetings prepared the young ladies with skills that were applied during the formal event and will be utilized after graduation and in the workplace or college. The traditional “twirl” on the dance floor by the debutantes is an annual Presentation Ball event along with the Father / Daughter dance, introduction curtsy, ROTC sword ceremony, and the presentation of the mothers, presenters, and escorts. All the debutantes were required to wear formal white gowns with uniform accessories and makeup to accent the overall elegant presentation of the young ladies.
The master of ceremonies was Dr. Sal Alvarado, administrator with the Flour Bluff School District. The formal sword ceremony was performed by the award-winning Navy Junior ROTC from Flour Bluff High School. The photographer for the evening was Mr. Stephan Noack. Entertainment and music were provided by Mystique Entertainment with DJ Zarron. There were over 200 participants of family members and friends in attendance at the formal Presentation Ball.
