If they were I never heard of any. November 10th, falling any day of the week has always been my experience.......... Even former Marines celebrate November 10 in parties all over the Nation. I once attended a Birthday Ball party that included in it’s attendees former Marine LT and former California Senator and Governor Pete Wilson. It was a Tuesday if I remember correctly.......
PROGRAM: Commandant of the Marine Corps 236th Birthday of the Marine Corps Ball.
DATE:12 November 2011 (evening)
LOCATION: National Harbor, MD (4th Dist.)
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: The Marine Corps Historical Company, working with the Commandant of the Marine Corps Protocol Office, will assist in presenting the annual Marine Corps Birthday program.

I am sure there are others, but the Commandant’s Ball is on November 12th, a Saturday. Yes, they have birthday PARTIES all over the place on the 10th, but not the Balls.
