2008 VMFA-314 Marine Corps Ball

This is a segment of the Marine Corps Ball we staged at Harrah's Rincon for VMFA-314. I was in charge of the Uniform Pageant where we showcased different uniforms from eras in Marine Corps History.

My most awesome former roommate took the videos and the photos were from a professional photographer we invited. With drink flowing in copious amounts, motivation was high and so was table talk so near the end you get to listen to table conversations :(

We only got a chance to practice once and the Marines had to do some very quick changes but everything went exceedingly well! Enjoy!

Yep, I was there. Amazing display IMO. I'm still not sure when those folks got to practice that. We were flying non stop during that time.

@onekutguy We ran one practice session the day of the Ball. SgtMaj said it was good and left it that. The Marines did a great job. The Korea Marines came out very late. As the "director" I managed to see one of the access doors come open as the servers came through and saw the Marines rushing past their exit door, so I ran to the door and yelled at 'em. *Everyone* in the hall stopped and they managed to still get out with enough time to finish their section.

VMFA-232 did the same thing for their 2008 ball. A little lame.
