The end of the year is approaching, and that means winter is coming. Following school tradition and the spirit of the holiday season, Girls’ League hosted this year’s Winterball. The dance was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Long Beach on Friday, December 16 from 7 to 11pm.
This year’s theme was “Here in Your Arms,” inspired by the song from the band Hellogoodbye and the cool-toned colors of ivory, winter blue and lavender, complementing the elegant seasonal occasion.
The Hyatt Regency Hotel’s location offered attendees a beautiful view of the sunset as well as the Queen Mary on the beach. Outside of the ball room, Christmas trees stood tall adorned with ornaments and lights.
The attendees also had access to refreshments to enjoy during the dance; there was an ice cream bar with frozen treats; a non-alcoholic drinks bar and a vegetable dip bar. Among the foods served were California rolls, festively-colored chips and breadsticks.
This year’s Winter Ball was a great success.
“It’s actually my first Winter Ball I’ve been to and it’s my last, also. I think it’s pretty successful. I’ve been working the whole dance, but I see a lot of people having fun,” Girls’ League President senior Stephanie Lu said.
