The ball got started with guests and cadets being welcomed by the Dolphin Battalion Saber Guard, after which they were ushered to their seats for the evening. Posting of the colors and opening remarks followed shortly after.
After the remarks, the current S1 and future battalion commander presented the continuous improvement plan for the next school year. Following the CIP was dinner. While getting dinner, the outgoing senior delivered their speeches. Raffles for various prizes also took place during dinner.
