Since 2009, my wife Robyn and I have had the honour of being part of the Te Awamutu College senior ball - so with one cancellation for Covid in 2020, this year’s Monte Carlo Ball was our 14th.
Robyn works with the students, teaching the social dance and choosing the music we play. Mine is a supporting role of plugging into the PA on the night and playing the tracks.
It is a night out we look forward to, and as I have always said, it is a credit to the young adults of Te Awamutu.
Praise for the Te Awamutu College senior students doesn’t just come from us. Band members - and for the past couple of years, the DJ - security staff, venue staff, caterers and others have commented on the positive nature of the Te Awamutu College ball, the wonderfully polite and courteous behaviour of the students and how great it is to see young people enjoying social dance, as well as interacting with bands and DJs and dancing the night away.
