Pajama Ball
12:00AM, Tuesday, May 20, 2025
Your Place

You're invited to our Pajama Ball
That isn't really a ball at all.
No tux to rent or dress to buy,
No place to go with your gal or guy.
Just a fun way to support the Phil,
It's easy to do and great for the till!
So don't mark your calendar, don't save the date,
And don't worry that traffic might make you late.
No need for a limo, you won’t be chauffeured,
Just help the orchestra, don’t be deterred!
Not attending the ball will put you at ease
