“Tuscaloosa asked; the Queen obliged,” said the press release. Step back into regency-era elegance as the Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra (TSO) presents the Bridgerton Masquerade Ball, which returns to the historic Dearing-Swaim Home on Thursday, Oct. 30, hosted by Carrie Fitts Real Estate.
This year’s enchanting theme, Masquerade, invites guests to don their masks for a night where sophistication meets Halloween flair. The evening begins with classical selections from the TSO Education Quintet; then, after the Grand Promenade, The Locked Band will perform popular dance that will keep guests moving all night long.
“Between sips of specialty cocktails and trays of hors d’oeuvres, attendees will savor the pageantry of the Queen’s Costume Contest and Best Mask prizes, plus spirited bidding in a Royal Silent Auction featuring curated packages for ladies and gentlemen,” said the press release.
The Queen, Alexis Davis-Hazell, continues her gracious reign.
“For those wishing to step fully into the moment, patrons may join the Royal Court for an additional $25,” said the press release. “These guests are bestowed a noble title and sash and announced during the Grand Promenade.”
