The Military Ball, this year, will take place on Mar. 1 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel. This event will commend JROTC for their training achievement in the corps.
The nominated king and queen along with the principal their royal court, will be representing the school’s JROTC program . The royal court will be formed by the nominees for king, queen, prince, and princess depending on each student’s training and education level.
A big ceremony will be held to reward the top students in JROTC for each school in LAUSD. The top high schools with JROTC programs will be given different awards for their accomplishment. Although these events will be in honor of the JROTC program, any student that may be interested is eligible to go. “From my perspective its a good opportunity for students to meet other people… to have fun … its a good feeling..”, stated Cadet Captain , Eddy Jimenez, a TCA Junior. Students will have the chance to meet and interact with other LAUSD students in the JROTC program.
Not only are students invited to go but parents are also invited to attend this lavish ceremony. Students who will be attending, will have to be dressed formal. The price for the tickets this year will be at $58. If a student needs help to obtain or sell tickets, JROTC organizes a fundraiser to help students pay for their ticket and opportunity to attend. There will not be any provided transportation, so student must find their own way to get to the hotel.
Doors will open from 4 pm to 6 pm, and ending at midnight. This Military Ball is an annual event that is sponsored by the JROTC headquarters department in LAUSD.
