Manangatang Community Stadium Debutante Ball 2009

Manangatang Community Stadium held the 2009 Debutante Ball on October 2. The debs and their partners must have been quite an attraction, because a great crowd showed up on the night to watch the presentation. Most stayed to enjoy the dancing and socialising afterwards, with a good number still there at 1am. Thanks to those that remained and made short work of the clean-up.

These videos (with a Kelly Jones/Ryan McClure bias) will give you an idea of the formal part of the night - the presentation:



The first part of the dancing (until a slight technical difficulty with the music):


And the final set of dancing:


which was followed by a dance with parents (not caught on camera).

Thanks very much to the Stadium committee, deb parents and the Manangatang P-12 College Parents and Friends for organising the night, Mrs Sue Smith for a smooth presentation as MC, and Miss Natasha for patiently tutoring the debs and parents over the weeks before the ball.
