A farewell party was thrown for the graduating class of 2004
on the 10 March 2007 at The Republic Cultural Centre (TRCC). Ancien Adieus was a colorful affair, with graduates donning party
wear of various kinds befitting the event’s masquerade theme.
The event kicked off at 6pm,
which saw over 450 participants registering. The crowd was abuzz with so much to
see and do! Running simultaneously were various station games laid out in an IR
fashion, where the students had to use chips in order to participate in the
games. There was also a mobile photo studio with two make-up artists at hand to
help students doll up for the camera and capture the night’s memories.
Another way for students to
leave a lasting impression was the plaster print station. Many graduates left
hand prints, while the more creative molded and shaped the plaster into various
shapes and designs. They were even supplied with paint so that they could
enhance their creative abilities. There were even caricaturists at hand to give
a more comic impression of the participants.
Towards the later part of the
evening, all participants congregated in the theatre where Magic IG performed.
All eyes were transfixed on the two magicians as they dealt out bewildering
magic tricks. This performance was followed by hip hop sextet, Style Methods,
whom showed off their funky dance moves leaving everyone in the crowd
fascinated. The crowd showed their appreciation by the resounding applause
awarded.
The performers were not the
only ones to be applauded. The contestants for “Mr and Ms Best Dressed” did
their best to strut their stuff on the catwalk, where some even improvised dance
moves. Their peers became their judges and votes were awarded with applause.
There was also a “Best Masked” contest where creative self-made masks were
selected from the crowd, and the winner determined by the organizing committee.
Lastly, there was the Fraction
Auction, ending the evening on a high note. This saw some friendly competition
among peers for the highest bid. Among the items being auctioned were DKNY
watches, various branded sports wear and accessories, a digital camera, a
portable playstation as well as an iPod. All these items were auctioned off at a
fraction of the retail price, which left the bid winners with gleeful smiles all
night.
Even after the event was
declared over, many still stayed on reluctant to say goodbye. Ancien Adieus was a
beautiful night worth remembering and this memory will certainly remain close to
the hearts of many.
