To the editor:

Mariner High School JROTC had its yearly Ball on Saturday, April 9, in the Mariner Courtyard. All of the Cadets enjoyed a gorgeous evening under the stars celebrating all their accomplishments this school year, including: Regional, District, State and soon to be National competition placements. These cadets have all been so dedicated and worked extremely hard this year. They have so much to celebrate and they should be very proud of themselves.

The formal evening included a complete, delicious meal catered by Blue Dog Bar and Grill. EV Cakes and Creations, provided all the beautiful decorations from table linens and decor, a fun photo booth and a four-tier cake especially decorated to highlight the cadets. The evening was captured in spectacular pictures by Laurie Groeneveld with Kul-G Kreations.

The Mariner Triton Brigade would like to thank these businesses, and all the individuals who helped make this night so enjoyable and memorable for all 80 cadets who attended.
