EPC Champions of Small Ensemble!
As part of a university wide competition
Earle Page College entered and won the SFK small ensemble for 2006. Each
group, no less than 2 while no more than 15, must perform a compilation
of themed music spaning 8 to 10 minutes. The Earle Page College group
used a Blues Brothers theme and blew away the competition with great music
and stage presentation.
Arts Dinner
Every Year
the SFK Committee hold a special charity Arts Dinner where a variety of
performers from jugglers to musicians flaunt their talents on EPC's Stage.
All performers are residents of EPC and everyone attends in force. This
year's Arts Dinner was no different with the theme "Arts Hall of Fame".
One can only ask where hippies, smurfs and cowboys and girls really sit
when it comes to the Hall of Fame, but regardless, everyone had a top
night.
A Block 80's
WIth the help of the Junior Common Room Committee, Pagites from A Block
invited all to partake in their traditional 80's theme bash. The night
kicked on till the early hours of the morning with plenty of movie stars,
stereotypes and abominations of fashion attacking the dance floor with
gusto. It is generally agreed that the next block party is not going to
be soon enough.
Cab Ball
Power and Authority
Our 2006 Cab Ball featuring the theme Power and Authority was as usual
an awesome night. We had all sorts of costumes including firemen and policemen,
husbands and wives, super heroes and super villains plus one very odd
janitor. But it was only till the following morning when the fun really
started. RE-covery, a tradition after every ball, swept everyone back
into the party mood and gave us plenty of good photos and memories.
Beach Party
The Tradition Block Parties Have Started! Kicking off the new year was
C-Block's much loved Beach Party with residents from C-Block helping the
Junior Common Room Committee with Decorations and setting up, creating
an authentic as possible outdoor Beach Party experience in Armidale.

what's important, hav'n a darn good time.
O-week, a HUGE Success
The new intake of 2006 Fresher's have made the most for the first week
in College with an extensive academic and social time table. All new students

getting into the broad Earle Page College experience all Pagites have
come to love. We are all looking forward to the old Geriatrics returning!
