The ball began with music playing as guests walked in. When people were seated, there was a small welcome given as well as an invitation to serve themselves with authentic Mexican food. Once everyone served themselves, there were two speakers; one discussed the traditions and history of Día de los Muertos, and the following speaker talked about the theme of our event, the victims of mass and school shootings. Once the speaker had finished, there was a live performance by Mariachi Jalisco de Detroit. From there, people had the freedom to dance to Latin music, mingle, and learn more about the culture by observing altars created by our own members for their family members.
