The Blue & Gold Ball

Training commenced early in February for the 2007 Blue & Gold Presentation Ball. With 52 couples making up the Presentation Set (this number would have to be a record for De La Salle College!) the Gymnasium was a fun place to gather early on a Sunday morning. Even though some boys seemed to find it difficult to get out of bed, the thought of spending an hour dancing with 52 beautiful young ladies, helped them slip on their dancing shoes and turn up for training. The Ball was a night many families and friends of the Presentation Set will remember with much delight. The students participating in the 2007 Presentation Ball looked simply stunning, with the girls in their beautiful white gowns and the boys dressed in their tails. Once the Presentation Set survived the challenge of not falling down the stairs and having completing their first bracket of dances to the tremendous applause of the audience, they then relaxed and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and spending time with their friends and families. Before too long it was time for the Presentation Set to return to the dance floor. To the cheers and applause from everyone at the Ball, the Presentation Set performed their routine flawlessly which included line dancing, jive, barn dance and the merange. This is the part of the evening that everyone seems to enjoy most of all! Many people contributed to the success of the 2007 Blue & Gold Presentation Ball, and it would not be possible without the tremendous support of Br Bill and the staff of De La Salle College, the VCE Ensemble who entertained guests as they arrived at the Hall, our College Captains who were ushers and assisted with many tasks, the Year 10 students who assisted the very busy caterer and, most of all, the Presentation Set and their families and friends. The Blue & Gold Presentation Ball is one of the many extra-curricular activities that is offered to the students of De La Salle College. I do recommend that when your son gets the chance to participate in a Blue & Gold Presentation Ball, he jump at the opportunity. It is loads of fun and is a night that he will remember for the rest of his life.
