Girls' School Eras Tour Disco Hits All the Right Notes
On Friday, 21 June, JC Chalmers Hall was filled with more glitter than ever before as the Girls’ School hosted its much-anticipated Eras Disco. The night was split into two halves, with the Junior girls from Years 0-3 dancing while the sun set, followed by the senior girls from Years 4-8 later in the night.
As the girls arrived to the pink carpet in their glittery outfits, topped with cowgirl hats and bracelets to trade, there was palpable excitement. Above them, floral décor out of the ‘Speak Now’ era felt like a fairytale, and inside, lit block letters ‘SKG’ provided the perfect backdrop to snap some memories along with the photobooth.
Another hit of the night was accessories table, revealed once the students entered the hall. Diamanté face decals, glitter, bracelet trading, and glow in the dark kitten ears were available for the girls to ensure everyone was dressed for the occasion.
The music spanned all of Taylor Swift's iconic eras, and the girls enthusiastically danced and sang along. From ‘Love Story’ to ‘Shake It Off,’ the energy was infectious. Several of the prefects led the singalong, assisted by the DJ who hyped the crowd. Deputy Principal Jill Wahlstrom managed to rally the girls for a dance circle which was a huge hit, and Principal Marianne Duston sported Taylor’s Red Era ringmaster outfit.
Although all good things must to come to an end, each girl received an Era’s Tour cup, filled with themed stickers and their photobooth shots to remember the night. As the girls filed out of the hall, sprinklings of glitter could be seen under the disco ball, evidence of the best night ever!
The Eras Tour Disco was a sparkling success, filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments. It was a night where everyone, from the youngest students to the teachers, could let loose and celebrate together. A big thank you to the Girls’ School Parents & Friends, particularly chair Jess Wahlstrom who put in many unseen hours and made this magical night possible.
