The mothers of the debutantes and honor guard met on October 15 for details leading up to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra League’s 29th Presentation Ball on February 7. More than 20 events are planned from the Thanksgiving holidays to the grand finale in February where 41 debutantes will be presented at the Meyerson Symphony Center.

Ball chair Venise Stuart and co-chairs provided guidelines for ensuring all goes smoothly ranging from making hotel reservations to planning for photography sessions to scheduling hair and make-up appointments.

The ball is expected to raise more than $400,000 for support of the DSO’s education programs.
