Hedberg is in charge of selecting the girls who will be chosen as debutantes. The process takes about a year, and Hedberg and her team receive recommendations from ball committee members, past debutantes and their families, as well as from committees of smaller debutante balls.
Once invited, the young women and their families spend tens of thousands of dollars to attend the ball. Each girl is also required to wear a white princess-style gown and long white satin gloves for the big night -- a deep-rooted tradition. I think that the purity quality back in the old day was part of it. It is only if you do not have a date to bring along to the ball. If you can not find one, you can be set up with someone to take you. There is plenty of different girls from all over making their big debut at the ball.
There are a lot of activities, including a mother-daughter brunch, dance rehearsals, parties, and of course the ball.

They're fun once. An exhausting hassle after that. By Maggie Burch. Save FB Tweet More. Traditions are important and worth honoring, even as the times change. Dad will always be your No. During these events, we share information, suggestions, and enjoyable times. Parent-sponsored teas, brunches, and after-rehearsal parties are encouraged. A member of the White and Red Ball Committee i. To uphold the prestige of the Ball and the Legion of Young Polish Women, adequate adult supervision of underage participants is required.
Each debutante is special to her parent s and to the Legion of Young Polish Women; however, she is also part of the group Presentation.
Therefore, the Legion insists, in fairness to all debutantes being presented, that no private, individual appearances or interviews be given to any media. Most rehearsals will be held in the PNA on six or seven consecutive Sundays. The Debutante Coordinator will give the dates and time of these rehearsals to you.
At some point in the rehearsal schedule, debutante parent s will be invited to gather informally at the rehearsal location for discussion about the preparations for the upcoming Presentation.
At the Dress Rehearsal, debutantes are to wear floor-length, full skirted gowns not their Presentation gowns suitable for bowing, and shoes with heels of the same height as those that will be worn the night of the Ball. Rehearsal attendance is required by the father, prospective debutante, and her escort.
Escorts are required to attend all rehearsal sessions. Dress shoes MUST be worn to all rehearsals. Each escort will have several important responsibilities, and will escort his debutante the entire evening of the Ball.
Therefore, inviting a date to the Ball would not be advised. Several hours before the Ball, the escort will be at the hotel, dressed and ready for the photo session at the time designated for his debutante by the Photography Chair. During the Ball and after the Presentation is completed, each debutante will be given a basket of roses to present to the guests for a donation.
