ABOUT SOLASTA
Solasta, the 2nd Ateneo de Naga University Senior High School Graduation Ball, is a
tribute gala for the achievements of the Class of 2019, and for the culmination of their
two-year journey. This was held on March 23, 2019, at the Tent, Avenue Plaza Hotel,
attended by 430 then-graduating students, together with members of the administration,
faculty, and staff.
This year’s theme is “Magis Masquerade Madness,” reflecting the individuality and
uniqueness of each student, as well as their similarities and collectivity--especially their
pursuit of excellence with a greater purpose. The name Solasta is a Scottish term that
means “luminous” or “shining,” symbolizing the rise of the batch from the darkness
experienced by the pioneers. It is a clear contrast to last year’s midnight forest theme.
Below are notable items that made Solasta unique:
OFFICIAL LOGOS
The logo this year was drawn from submissions by several grade twelve students from
the 2D-AVFX, the one above was chosen best. It was designed by Zoe Gabrielle Sarte of
AN21. Modifications were made by the Media and Public Relations Committee. Although
purposely patterned to last year, the logo served its purpose and gave a distinct identity
to the ball .

COLLECTION PROCESS
The distribution and collection of the participants letters, waivers, and payment was
handled by the Secretariat Committee together with the Finance Committee. These
requirements were due on March 8 but extended due to lack of attendees. The task of
distributing and collecting these documents were delegated to the class presidents.
Please see attached powerpoint in appendix.
PARTICIPANTS’ FEE & BUDGET
The fee approved in the proposal, which was already announced to the public, was nine
hundred pesos, an additional one hundred pesos from last year. Around mid-February,
before release of the letter to parents, and after thorough evaluation by the External
Head with the Finance and Sponsorship Committee, the fee was reduced to seven
hundred pesos. It was discovered that increase in the fee was due to the mistake in
computation by choosing the six hundred fifty pesos meal package instead of the four
hundred fifty peso option. The reassessment of the budget paved way for necessary
adjustments to reinstate budget allocations for essential expenses. Despite the efforts to
reduce the fee for the ball to encourage more participants, it did not succeed because of
the drop in the number of participants due to the delay in releasing the parent’s permit.
PARENT’S AND PRE-EVENT ORIENTATION
The parents and guardians were presented with the important details regarding the ball
by the External Head held on February 22 during the graduation orientation at the
gymnasium. Please see appendix for reference. Later on March 22, two days before the
ball, a pre-event orientation was held at the Instructional Media Center. Due to the limit in
seating capacity, the orientation was held by batch. Please see appendix for powerpoint
and scheduling.

Graduation Ball 2019 Committee Report
Over all, the event was successful; however, there are few things to improve such as
the implementation of the dress code, relevance of the theme, and improvement of
venue.
Next time, make sure that everyone is following the guidelines provided by the event
organizer. Moreover there has to be improvements on the flow of the program. The
songs choice must be a balance of fast and slow songs
OTHERS (SUMMARIZED):
Give emphasis on the theme of the event. For instance, for a masquerade ball require
students to wear their mask while the event is on-going.
Evaluation was done online.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. THEME & COLOR MOTIF. On the theme, makes sure that the students would
observe and feel the theme of the event. It could done by following the color
pallete of the theme provided or by designing the venue related to the theme.
Committee should impose dress code with common colors found in gown rental
shops for the convenience of the participants.
2. DRESS CODE & GUIDELINES. It is recommended to revise and modify the whole
document. Lessen the use of pessimistic words.
3. DATE. It is highly recommended to consider dates wherein it is not too late after
clearance period and not too early for graduation day. It was noted that the ball
this year was held on the same date of the commencement exercises of two big
universities in the city.
4. INFORMATION DISSEMINATION. Any form of communication and information
must be propagated to everyone. Make sure the the most important information
would be delivered to the participants earlier. Poster and room-to-room
announcement remains the best avenue for it.
5. ATTIRE CONSULTATION. It should not be mandatory but rather by choice. Assign
one officer per strand for easy access to students and delegation of authority.
6. DRY RUN. It is recommended continue the dry runs held in campus. Also, it is
suggested to request a water dispenser from the Hotel venue during the practice
at the venue. Bottles or jugs shall be brought by the performers.
7. DISTRIBUTION AND COLLECTION. It is recommended to set up a booth an area
for distribution of ticket. The booth shall serve as an information desk.
8. FINANCE. It is recommended to make use of the services of the Treasurer’s office.
It should be noted and be added in the computation of the budget the amount
deducted by the Treasurer’s office so that there would be no deficit.
9. FEES. It is recommended to make a Reservation and Confirmation Fee. The former
will be equivalent to the amount of one meal while the confirmation fee shall
constitute less than the latter. This scheme may ensure funds for preparation and
as a security deposit should participants decide to backout.
10. TICKET AND INVITATION. It is recommended to create a ticket which will include
a perforated portion for a food and souvenir stub for the ticket. This ticket will be
given after participants pay for their slot. The invitation will be a more detailed
version with a list of performers, sponsors, etc.

Graduation Ball 2019 Committee Report
11. VENUE. For the venue, it is recommended to choose a larger place with a larger
dance floor without the need for sacrificing the table area.
12. SEAT PLAN. Should the committee decide to continue the present seat plan in
The Tent, it is recommended to have a free seating scheme so early birds have
the privilege to choose and late comers may not disturb the program.
13. EVENT PROPER. It is recommended to have a floor director as planned. The floor
director shall manage the blocking and entrances and exit of performers.
14. PROGRAM & AWARDS. Improve the list of songs in the event. According to one of
the awardees, the awarding proper must not be simultaneous with the dinner.
15. FOOD. The meal should have been platted.
16. COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS. Participant’s fee is suggested to be waived
for the dedicated members of the team.
