The 2003 Blue and Gold Ball ran
smoothly considering the raw tal-
ent that was available. Bright and early each Sunday morning for
almost two months, eighteen couples toiled long and hard to learn the dances. Staying focused
wasnʼt always easy, especially
with all the recounting of the pre-
vious nightʼs outings to talk about. It was decided the Ball would be
held in the College gym, De Laʼs multi-purpose venue. Mrs Joy
Bew worked tirelessly with the
help of members of staff to turn the usually athletic gym into an elegant and graceful ballroom.
The Ball left us with many great
memories: the gentlemen getting dressed in full formal attire, the
girls looking positively stunning in their gowns, waiting in the locker room for what seemed to be an eternity and finally dancing in
front of our family and friends.
Although most of us were a bundle of nerves prior to our grand
entrance, all that was soon forgotten and the atmosphere became increasingly relaxed as the eve-
ning wore on. In the end, a spectacular evening!
