Good Afternoon fellow bloggers,
Incase you were wondering about the title of my post, Snowball and Hollyball, those are winter dances that an organization known as cotillion puts on each year for the high school and middle school separately. To get in to one of these "groups", Baton Rouge or Elan, you must sign up and send in a photo of yourself. Next they will pull from a big group of names and if your name is pulled you are excepted into one organization. It is very exciting to go to these dances and dress up in theme, but sometime the dances are not enjoyable. For example, in the past month or so I went to Hollyball for Baton Rouge cotillion and last night (January 14) went to Snowball for Elan cotillion. Right now you could be asking yourself how I went to both parties if I am only a member of one cotillion, Baton Rouge? Well why you are in cotillion you are allowed to pay to bring a member to these dances and that is what me and a friend did. Therefore she can take me to all the Elan dances and I can take her to all the Baton Rouge dances. (It might sounds confusing right now, but it really isn't.)
Last night at Snowball, compared to a few weeks ago at Hollyball, the two dances were both different in there own ways. Hollyball, in my opinion, was better and funner then Snowball only because Hollyball was less strict on many rules and we were allowed to wear tennis shoes. Another reason I enjoyed Hollyball over Snowball was because Hollyball's party favor was sweatpants and those are something I would wear more than a red sweatshirt, just because red isn't my color. Baton Rouge cotillion is with the whole high school, 9th-12th, and Elan cotillion used to be 9th and then 10th-12th but that rule was recently changed to 9th and 10th and 11th and 12th. I disagree with that rule only because I liked having all 9th graders at a party for once, and it kind of reminded me of middle school again. If you are not in a cotillion I suggest you sign up for one because the parties have many memories with them and you can ask about anyone that!
Have a safe MLK day,

I heard about the whole tennis shoe problem. Honestly, I think it is ridiculous! I remember at one of the dances they got mad when the girls took their heels off. Why would they get mad when girls wear more comfortable shoes, so they can follow the rules and keep their shoes on the whole night?
ReplyDeleteMy child is a a 6th grader and is a legacy for BR Cotillion. We applied to Elan and was accepted. This is a dilemma because he can only choose one and I'm not sure which one to go with. I know he will be able to go to the other one with friend invitaions, but since this is a decision that he will live with through high school, do you have an opinion on which one he should go choose?
