Hey Everyone,<\/p>\n
My name is Matthew Aberegg and I\u2019m here to answer any questions you have about Barristers Ball.\u00a0 In general I will handle the logistics here.\u00a0 My phone number is 3304615777 for the quickest response and if not I will get to your response email throughout this week prior to the ball.\u00a0 \u00a0I\u2019ll be at the career planning meeting tonight, and tomorrow during the day to answer any questions as well.<\/p>\n
Barristers Ball is a law school tradition around the country.\u00a0 It is a time when faculty, students and friends\/guests of both are able to come together in a formal setting and have a great time.\u00a0 It\u2019s a time to relax and hangout while you can dance and dress up.\u00a0 The attire is formal for women and men. It\u2019s a cocktail type dress generally but you do not have to conform to that. For the guys it\u2019s either a suit or a jacket and dress pants type deal.\u00a0 You do not have to wear a tie if you do not want to.<\/p>\n
The event this year is this Friday October 20, from 7-11 PM at Tangiers in the back ballroom.\u00a0 People can show up on time or a little bit late, the doors will close at 8 PM.\u00a0 The event ends at 11 PM and there\u2019s generally a large group that goes out after.\u00a0 This is not sanctioned by the SBA or endorsed by the SBA but a general rule of thumb.\u00a0 DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE from the event or to the event.\u00a0 If you are not from the area, there are places afterwards like the valley or downtown that you and your friends can go to.\u00a0 You may buy door tickets.\u00a0 They will be the same price as the tickets online, but we will not have planned for your attendance as far as food goes.\u00a0 There will be ample space and seating for everyone regardless.\u00a0 The tickets will still be 25 dollars, but you will have to pay cash. No more than 2 guests per person, at the door if you have more than 2 per law student we will have to turn you away.<\/p>\n
The event itself has a photographer, with a backdrop and props when you enter, you and your friends or significant others can take group or couples shots in front of the backdrop.\u00a0 These will all be uploaded to a sharing website so you may access them for free.\u00a0 The photographer will then move around the party later and take photos of the dance floor and groups accordingly.<\/p>\n
There will be a DJ, the DJ has extensive experience performing at dances and weddings.\u00a0 They are bringing lights, lasers, smoke, and confetti cannons.\u00a0 The first hour and a half will be more of a cocktail hour where the professors and staff tend to remain and socialize with their students.\u00a0 When they leave the music will likely get louder and the lights will be brighter for a genuine party.\u00a0 The DJ may or may not take requests and will be there for the entirety of the party.<\/p>\n
There are heavy appetizers, 125 orders total of a combination of Fresh Cut Vegetable Crudite\u0301s, Fruit and Berries (Seasonal Fresh Fruit and Berries served with our Honey Dip), Chicken Strips Mozzarella Sticks Miniature Meatballs Cooked and served in Barbeque Sauce, Jalapeno Popper and Assorted Cookies.\u00a0 We plan for how many tickets are bought online, do not rely on this as a dinner. Please eat before you come at 7.<\/p>\n
The bars are cash bars.\u00a0 There will be four bartenders and we won\u2019t know how they\u2019re stationed until we get there.\u00a0 The bars will be available for anybody who is 21+.\u00a0 If you are not 21+ and you attempt to drink from the bar, we will ask you to leave because it is a liability for the Law School.\u00a0 Do not bring in your own alcohol, if you are caught with a flask you will be asked to dump it out or leave.\u00a0 Do not fight one another, and do not do anything that you may be arrested for. There is a police officer for safety but he\/she isn\u2019t there to arrest you so don\u2019t make them.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, the goal of the night is to grow closer and to have fun with your peers, future colleagues, and professors.\u00a0 It\u2019s a good time for everyone, and you\u2019re really able to let loose.\u00a0 Dancing, drinks, food and photographs to remember it all make it most closely resemble a wedding reception, not a prom or HS dance.\u00a0 I encourage everybody to go with a friend, group or significant other but that is not a necessity and you can always join in on the dance floor.\u00a0 We are just here to facilitate your good time, if you have any questions just ask!<\/p>\n
Thanks,<\/p>\n
