Photos by Steve Babin The 2022 Symphony Ball debutantes and their mothers enjoyed afternoon tea on May 18 at the home of Emily Moody, in the Twickenham Historic District. The event marks the start of the social season. Cathy Scholl, 2021 Symphony Ball Chairman, served as this year’s Tea Chairman. The 37 women who will make their debut on October 29, attended the event along with their mothers and members of the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra Guild’s 2022 Ball Committee. Guests were greeted by Symphony Ball Guild President, Ina Wilson Smith; 2022 Ball Chairman, Tabby Ragland; and hostess Emily Moody. The entrance table held an arrangement of summer flowers that featured “Free Spirit” roses, the official 2022 ball rose. The container was given to the Symphony Guild in memory of Robin Stewart, a past Ball Chairman. It is used each year at the tea. Sarah Hereford, Emily Moody, Nancy Van Valkenburgh, Kay Eastin
The young women enjoyed catching up after their freshman year of college. They sipped tea punch served by several past Ball Chairmen, Kim Johnson, Patti Thornton, Amelia Summerville and Rosemary Latham. Gold lyre charms engraved with the young women’s initials were gifted as mementos. n
