The Blue and Gold Ball

The 2003 Blue and Gold Ball ran smoothly considering the raw talent 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 previous 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 evening wore on. In the end, a spectacular evening! Robert Breda Year 11
