‘The Great Gatsby’ was the theme of the 2017 Mount Albert Grammar School Ball, held at The Pullman Hotel in Auckland city on July 6.
The ball committee worked tirelessly to prepare for the evening and decorate the venue. Attendees walked down a black carpeted hallway, decorated with flapper and gangster silhouettes, lights, balloons and feathers.
A big part of the social side of the evening was the three photo booths and live Facebook feeds that were viewed by family and friends as the ball continued through the evening.
N.Z.D.J Kieran provided dancefloor entertainment, which featured music, the latest lighting effects, smoke machines, confetti cannons and CO2 guns. The school band The Ball Boys performed a live set that created the atmosphere of a concert.
The awards ceremony saw Zach Helm and Paris Shum crowned King and Queen of the Ball. Maia Watson and Jenna Ackerman won the Sisterhood prize, while the Bromance award went to Jack Briden and Billy McColl. The Cutest Couple award went to Liam Briggs and Lucy Harding. Kate Gribben was voted best dressed female and Oliver Mathiesen best dressed male. The dancing award went to Seli Fuimaono.
A fantastic night was had by all, including the staff who attended. A big thank you to the committee for all of their hard work.
