As the title suggested an elegant crowd of Thomians, friends, sponsors and well-wishers gathered at the SCC to enjoy an evening of great food, music and dancing. Master of ceremonies Mr. Ravi Niles started things off with the opening ceremony and the raising of the college flag. Flag bearer and dance committee chairman Sumith Samarasinghe lead a large group of proud old Thomians into the grand ballroom. This was followed by the singing of the college song and President Jehan Ahamed\u2019s speech.\u00a0 Featured artist Judy de Silva along with local band Matrix kept the dance floor hopping all night. Special guest back by popular demand Roshan Thavaratnam, along with Thomian, DJ Chamil completed the great entertainment line-up for the evening. A special Mother Daughter set with Judy and Kanthie capped off this elegant evening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
