Quezon
High Fundraiser Features
Nostalgia ‘Dance-O-Rama’
By Bal Yujuico
Quezon National High School Alumni Association of
Toronto will feature the legendary and nostalgic ‘Dance-O-Rama’ theme for
2009 fundraising event on June 20 to be held at the Malvern Community
Center.
It will be down memory lane as the music, fabulously fancy footworks and
dance steps of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s will dominate the ballroom.
Those of you who embraced the esoteric vinyl records of the 3 decades will
find it enthralling to dance once more the cha-cha, wa-tuwa-tusi, the jerk,
mambo, twist and all the whatchamacallits of the crazy nutty stuff of that
period when life was our oyster.
When was the last time you watched Night Owl Dance party and Dance-O-Rama on
television in Manila during the early sixties? Remember Lito Gorospe, Eddie
Mercado and Baby O’Brien as they select the best dressed girl of the night
to rival Dick Clark’s American Bandstand.
And the winner is ……….ta dahh…. as the Celtics and Orly Ilacad and the
Ramrods play those oddball records.
The alumni group in summer of 2008 held a sellout Hawaiian-Pacific Luau
party attended by some 350 guests last June. Proceeds for 2008 fund-raising
went to finance the school’s marching band uniforms and musical instruments
to encourage more student participation and provide incentives for students
to excel in the field of arts and music.
Copacabana, It’s Latin, A Night of Ballroom Dancing were the past themes of
the different dinner dance fund raisers.
Major sponsors have expressed support for QNHS alumni association for 2009.
