High School youngsters dances the night away at Senior Jingles

More than 200 pupils had a ball at Oban High School’s 2023 senior Jingles party, reports Molly Gilchrist who was there.

S6 pupils and teachers picked and planned a masquerade theme for the big Christmas event staged at the Corran Halls last week where tables were decked with feathers, pearls and balloons.

Pupils dance the night away to the sounds of Rhuvaal and DJ Sam Coates.

Suits, kilts and elegant dresses were the dress code.

Pupils enjoyed ceilidh dancing with each other to the sound of the band Rhuvaal, who were centre stage for the first part of the night, performing a range of songs from fast to slow, getting everyone involved. Then it was the turn of DJ Sam Coates whose prepared electronic set went down a treat.

The Corran Halls was bustling for the entire night and the atmosphere was incredible, with the lighting technicians doing a fantastic job, as well as the staff that attended to make sure everyone was safe and could have a good time. The night ended with everyone raving about it to each other and comparing their favourite parts of the night.

The dance served as a well-deserved break for students during this stressful time, studying for prelims and exams.

DJ Coates, especially, was a hit with the students throughout the night of dancing and adding to the lifelong, unforgettable memories that the students made at the 2023 senior jingles.
