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 51st 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.
