The Children’s Ball – 1999 to 2005

The first Children's Ball was held in May of 1999 at the Women's Club in Alamo. Sixty five dancer aged 7-19 from Lafayette, Livermore, Berkeley and Sacramento danced to live music by the Andy Imbrie Ensemble under the sponsorship of the Lafayette Class. The Afternoon began with a Grand March, leading into the Dashing white Sergeant, followed by 14 well loved favorites. The highlight of the afternoon was the Reel of the 51^st Division. Even after a full encore there were calls of “again, again”.

Following the dancing participants pitched in to set up tables and chairs for tea which included an array of scones, sausage rolls, lemon tarts, Dundee cake, Helensburgh toffee, etc, all provided by a committee of parents and adult dancers.

Intermission entertainment by piper Heath Burton was also enjoyed by the 114 spectators in attendance. Refreshments were provided by parents, teachers and friends under the supervision of June Christie. Jimmy Lomath of Los Angeles donated a pair of Gandolfi ghillies, which were awarded in a drawing to Kaitlin Sands of Lafayette.

All of the classes provided food for an elegant tea served under the supervision of June Christie and Jenny Howe of Lafayette and Margaret Ward of Livermore. A special feature this year was Elsie Robertson and Gwen Stadnyk pouring tea from silver teapots. The children got a big kick out of being asked “one lump or two, lemon or milk”.
