Despite summer heat and the rumor that things have died down,
they haven’t. This past Saturday night, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra League’s
debs and their families took over the Eddie Deen Ranch for a casino party. The
idea was to honor the Symphony Debs and Honor Guards, but it was really an
opportunity for the parents to get to know each other in a relaxed environment.
It also allowed the debs to get to know each other and compare
notes. Despite the ball still being months away (February, to be exact) most of
the debs have already picked out their gowns! But, Saturday night was not for
long gowns or white tie. Rather, it was bolo ties and Stetsons for the gents
and short silky dresses and scooting boots for the gals.
One of the ordeals that the debs and their fathers face at the
ball is the “first dance” by the fathers and daughter on a very crowded dance
floor in the Meyerson. The dance floor at the event was the perfect opportunity
for the girls to practice with their fathers.
But don’t for a second think that the group was simply dancing
and partying while the Dallas Symphony Orchestra is facing budget challenges.
No way! Kay reminded folks that this party and the others leading up to the
ball, as well as the presentation itself, will raise a half million dollars for
the DSOL.
It was a magical night with laughter and pictures everywhere and
to say it was a successful night would be an understatement. Keep in touch with my blog and I will be posting more on my Pinterest this coming week! Expect to see more photos of Saturday night's event and follow some new links I will be updating on the side bar of my blog! XOXO
