Winterball is a chance for students to get all dressed up after a home game and hang out with their friends at the dance.
Freshman, Lydia Lagemann explained what she did to prepare for her first Winter Ball dance. “I found my dress at Windsor, and Andi found hers at Dillards. The best part of dress shopping was riding up and down the escalators at the mall.” Lydia also added, “To get ready, I invited everyone to my house to take pictures before hand. It was really fun. I love dressing up.”
The theme for the this year was Frozen. Student Council decorated the coronation stage with tree branches, lights, and ‘icicles.’ Sophomore, Lauren Gerlemann, Student Council representative said, “I liked how we incorporated the Disney theme for the school year by making Winter Ball into Disney’s Frozen.”
The dance itself was another aspect of Winter Ball. This year, Student Council had its own sound system and created their own playlist. As this was her first year at New Haven High School, and since she has never celebrated Winter Ball here, Taylor Gillespie remarked, ”It was nice seeing that everybody got along and danced together. No one seemed to care who was friends with who. We all were there for the same reason: to have fun. It was a positive experience that I will always remember.”
For most, Winter Ball seem to fly by. According to Mrs. Borcherding, the majority of the student body attended Winter Ball. Only 20 students didn’t attend. Next, we can’t wait for Homecoming, which is just around the corner!
