- Limited copies of calls and sheet music for the dances are available from the Ball Chair for members of out-of-town communities who may wish to practice in advance of the Ball.
 
 
- Information about the pre-ball practice session and driving directions will be mailed with program booklets.
 
- Public transport: METRO now has a bus that runs from the College Park Metro station, on the Red Line, to the Cherry Hill campground - bus No. 83 (see Metro's Trip Planner).
