Military Ball Theme Ideas

Archives: Request: Military Ball Theme Ideas Archived on 03/15/2009 I'm in JROTC and every year we have a Military Ball. This year we are having it in March and I can't think of a cool theme except St. Patrick's day. Can someone help me? Ellie from Coker, AL Answers: RE: Military Ball Theme Ideas My name is Andy, and I happen to be chairperson of our decorations committee and lo and behold; I get to pick the theme. My advice is to look not just at the nearby holidays, but also times of year (in your case, spring) and recent fads (movies, songs, etc.) and base it around those concepts. Start thinking specifically how you would want your personal perfect ball, discuss it with others and form up your design templates. The best thing you can do is make several general suggestions and bring it before other people. The more brains you have, the more ideas you'll get. Also, look at the color scheme of the place you have to work with, that could help push you in the right direction. Hope it goes well, good luck!

Or you could forget that it's March and pick a theme that is unrelated?

This year I'm in charge as well as in the past, and am trying to think up some answers as well. I would also suggest that you try and go onto stumpsprom, on line. It's a magazine for dance themes and what not, as well as favors. We're a navy school. (01/07/2009) By Lieutenant M RE: Military Ball Theme Ideas Lt. M, As for ideas for the military ball- my son's JROTC is also in March. I'm not sure what part of Alabama you are in but one of the themes which I suggested to the cadets was Tropical Nights. I thought of this theme because: we are in Florida, its spring time and will be nearly time for spring break. Being that you are in the Navy - it may be an idea- match it with a beach of white sand- (which you can almost make from white tablecloths or sheets). Use tropical flowers and candlelight for the tables, along with champagne glasses, etc. But above all stay in cost, (don't over spend) ask your Navy Parents Support Group to assist you. Being president of my son's JROTC parent support group I find parents who are willing to assist, have talent, and though they don't have much time are willing to assist anyway that they can. Good luck to you and your school- and hopefully we will meet each and all who read this post at Nationals this spring in Daytona Beach. Its a GREAT event just to watch, and even more an honor to be able to participate in. (01/28/2009) By ArmyMom92 RE: Military Ball Theme Ideas One popular theme is a Decades dance. You could decorate for the 50's, 60's, 70's, or 80's using old records, plastic bead curtains, or disco balls. If it's allowed in the rules, you could have everyone come in costume. Play a mix of music from the chosen decade along with more recent hits. Hope this helps, Megan (02/06/2009) By megan24 Report Spam or Abuse Request: Military Ball Theme Ideas Archived on 11/12/2008 I need some ideas for a theme for a military ball. Hannah Answers: RE: Military Ball Theme Ideas Go to Google and type in theme for a military ball. You should be able to find some ideas that way. (09/11/2007) By MCW RE: Military Ball Theme Ideas I didn't know military balls had themes other than the unit itself. Usually, there are protocol rules for each unit. Make sure you are familiar with them. I don't know whether this is for student military academies, college ROTC, or a regular military unit. If you still need a theme, try Casablanca or John Phillip Sousa. (09/13/2007) By the Oracle Moonlight Military Ball Theme Ideas Hi there, my name is Lindsey. I'm a year 12 student in a Coromandle area school and we are having a ball in 5 weeks. I am chair person of the ball committee and would very much like to help you. This year we are having a night themed ball. We have decided to call it "Midnight Enchantments" and our saying is "(u)Anything could happen(/u)" As a Senior student it was my duty to get student voice in what we were going to do for our school ball. We have come up with: - Black curtains -A disco ball for our moon -Poly.. shaped stars dangling from the roof (made ourselves) -Strobe lights -Smoke machines And we are still planning the rest. If you would like to know more about our school ball, I don't mind writing to you every time we plan or change something. (05/27/2008) By Lindsey Report Spam or Abuse
