Last Friday's wild weather did not stop a dozen debutantes and their dance partners attending this year's St Mary's Parish Debutante Ball in Myrtleford.

Club Savoy hosted 24 students at the evening's deb, as they were presented to the crowd of friends and family, before completing three official dances.

The students participated in an 'Evening Three-Step', 'Maxina' and 'Pride of Erin' performance, before a reprisal 'Pride of Erin' dance with a special guest of their choice from the crowd.

"The committee would like to extend a heartfelt 'thank you' to the families and friends of this year's debutante participants for joining us," Steph Piazza, on behalf of the committee, said.

"The committee had a wonderful time arranging this year's event and all went well.

"We would also like to extend a special 'thank you' to our dance trainers, Mia-Larni and Stefan Saric.

"The kids had a wonderful time, with smiles all around.

"The weather didn't hamper us at all, everything went perfectly.

"They're looking forward to their photos; all the boys looked handsome and all the girls looked beautiful.

"They partnered very well and danced the night away."
