On April 24th, 2010 we were at the Renaissance Hotel for an event hosted by the Providence Battalion. The event was a military ball and each class had their own selective parts. On this day we got to see different military traditions such as the colors presentation and the retiring of the colors afterwards. We also saw the punch bowl tradition and the camaraderie that this group has. After the event we were told how much this night means to the cadets. A couple of people had flown in just to be there that night and we were told it wasn't to hear the presentations. A small night out of enjoyment with friends means so much to these people. They must balance college, work, and a social life in conjunction with the demanding hours of the ROTC. It was an honor to be a part of this event and make their day fun. We also enjoyed that nearly everyone was on the dancefloor all night dancing to everything from classic rock to the modern hits. A special selection for this night was playing the National Anthem when the cadets walked in.
