2023 Debutante Tea

The 2023 Symphony Ball debutantes embarked upon their Debutante Season which commenced with an Elevenses Tea held in their honor on May 17 at the historic Adams Street home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Edward Crosby, Jr.  The Tea was hosted by the Past Ball Chairmen and the 2023 Symphony Ball Committee.  The 35 young women, who will make their social debut on October 28, attended the event along with their mothers.

Guests were greeted by Symphony Guild President Rosemary Latham; 2023 Ball Chairman, Michele Lucas; and hostess Leslie Crosby. Tabby Ragland, 2022 Ball Chairman, served as this year’s Tea Chairman. The young women enjoyed meeting the Ball Committee, Past Guild Presidents and sharing stories about their freshman year of college. The Huntsville Symphony Guild sponsors the debutante program each year as a benefit for Huntsville’s professional symphony orchestra.
