Marine Corps Ball – Event & Etiquette.

Prepare to celebrate 151 years of Marine Corps tradition

The Birthday Ball is one of the biggest events on the Marine Corps calendar. It is a chance to get dressed to the nines, enjoy an evening of tradition, and celebrate the history of the Corps.

As the Ball is a formal affair, both Marines and guests are expected to behave appropriately and follow rules of proper etiquette. If you are attending the Marine Corps Ball for the first time you are sure to have many questions running through your mind.

What should you wear? How should you behave?
What does ‘proper etiquette’ mean anyway?

Join Marine Corps Family Team Building to learn timeless standards, courtesies, and protocols related to this 151-year-old tradition.
