The evening begins with the receiving line in the Terrace Room Balcony, where guests meet the debutantes and press and candid photos are taken. Cocktails are then served in the Terrace Room. After dinner and dancing in the Ballroom, each debutante is presented, one at a time, accompanied by a young man in white tie and tails. As the debutante walks down the center of the Ballroom to make her bow, the orchestra plays a song appropriate to the country or state represented.
