A Cozy Wonderland

Those who attended Winterball 2011 found the night to be reminiscent of the winter season.
The colors, winter blue, ivory and lavender emulated the scenery of a Winter Wonderland. The colors were showcased throughout the rooms and were accentuated by huge Christmas trees outside the dance room and the the theme: “Here In Your Arms” illustrates a feeling of being snuggled up within the cozy arms of a date where it’s safe from the chill of the evening but also in view of the beautiful snow around—in snow-less California’s case, a dark expansion of the lovely night sky. The theme was inspired by Hellogoodbye’s “Here in Your Arms” whose complete phrase is: “There’s no place I could be but here in your arms”. Girl’s League member, junior Kimberly Phan discovered the song when she and other members were trying to think about themes and ended up looking on Spotify.
“[We] stumbled upon “Here in Your Arms,” she said.
As for the Winter Ball playlist, Girl’s League didn’t feature any winter-specific music. The songs were organized by the DJ and was a compilation of Top 40 songs.
“The night was miraculous,” junior Micalob Tri said.
