An adjunct to the May Ball, the rooftop garden features a Victorian gazebo in which small bands play light music. To start with, an ensemble is playing overtures from Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. Faintly in the background, near the Academy’s music wing, a student chamber-music quartet can be heard tuning up and practicing difficult passages from its own intended program.
The weather is perfect: bright and cool and crisp under a pale, cirrus-clouded sky.

((Goodbye, first post. *sniffle* Do I have to wear a dress, or should I just come in whatever I think of that is fairly formal?))
Not “fairly.” See introductory post on the May Ball thread: “Dress is formal. (If you don’t know what that means, look it up.) This being Muse Academy, all the clothes fit perfectly and look wonderful.” The rooftop is still part of the ball.
For ideas, try Googling images of “victorian formal ball.” Not everything that comes will be appropriate, but you can probably figure out which is which.
((Ah. Anyone else up on the rooftop garden? Or am I the only one?))
