The Blue and Gold Ball

The Blue & Gold Ball

What a night! With a record number of participants this year, 58 couples, I knew we were in for a huge Ball. From the moment training commenced this group of young adults were keen and eager for the big night to arrive. The girls looked gorgeous in their fantastic gowns and the boys looked very dapper in their black suits with the ‘De La’ blue cravats. It was priceless to witness how proud parents were of their sons and daughters; especially when it came to the time for participants to invite their mothers and fathers up to dance the Modern Waltz with them. The behaviour of all involved was excellent and families, friends and schools can be immensely proud of what this fine group of young people achieved in just 10 weeks of training. Special thanks goes to our hardworking College Leaders who acted as waiters on the night and to other boys who joined the Presentation Set midway through training to partner a few of the debutantes. Many parents made sure they saw me before leaving the Hall to let me know how much they appreciated De La Salle College providing the boys and girls the opportunity to participate in such a fun event.
