College Ball

Signs of the Zodiac

2 July 2016

Welcome
The Green Templeton College would like to
invite you to celebrate the Signs of the Zodiac
on its iconic Observatory on this night, the
2nd of July.
We have carefully curated entertainment for
you to enjoy the College in its splendour.
Whether you decide to visit the planetarium
for a starry experience, or try your luck at the
Casinos in Leos Lion Den, or just dance the
night away, we hope that your stars are
aligned for a fascinating experience.
Our dining guests will be treated to a special
reception and piano recital leading up to a
splendid dining experience.
We hope that all of you will join us to view
some spectacular fireworks at 22:45, and stay
with us for the ultimate Survivors Photo in
the Taurus Bull Pen at 4:45.

Keep Off The Grass
Evangelical views on music, movement, merriment and mowing.

Scott Free
Scott Free are a funk rock band from Brighton, bringing a set of grooving tunes
to Oxford for the second time. There's crazy guitar playing from Max, soaring
vocals from Sarah, deep bass from Jamie and pounding drums from Hugo.
Don't miss this band in the marquee!

Les Petit Pois

Mixing it with Master D and Flunkin the Pumpkin, Les Petit Pois put on a
flashback show of cool 80s, 90s, and 00s Indie/Rap classics mixed in with
anthems to blow the ketchup off the hottest of hot dogs.
Silent Disco DJs
Greg Camachoman Randy Savage and The Hulkamaniac Sharif join forces on
the turntables. From New York to Manila, and now, the UK. No place is safe,
brother. Ooooohhh yeaaaahhhh.

Acts: Taurus Stage

Fluffy Ruffs
A cocktail of jazz, funk, and smooth grooves straight from Oxfords jazz
undergrowth. Zesty chords. Hoisin crispy harmonies. During-dinner licks.
Its treat day, but without the facon.
Black Shabbat
Formed in Cambridge in 2007, Black Shabbat are a fusion group blending
influences as diverse as klezmer, folk, gypsy jazz and heavy metal. Expect
beautiful melodies and foot-tapping rhythms as they return to GTC ball
quad stage this year. (If you need a picture let me know)
Elemental Alchemy Demo
Earth, Air, Fire and Water! The four elements each linked with a triplicity
of star signs.Come and watch a master alchemist transform the element
associated with your zodiac sign. See plain earth converted to pure iron
in a blaze of fire, watch air become volatile and ignite, waters explode
into an earthy mass and fiery earth produce viscous airs.Learn
something of how to control these transformations and get a taste of the
ever-changing flux between the elements in our astrological world.
Rob Godfrey
Cambridge born Rob Godfrey is a 22-year-old singer-songwriter. His
unique sound comes as an amalgamation of folk, jazz, soul and pop,
combined with a slightly bitter and twisted outlook on life.

medical students at the John Radcliffe, but have a range of musical

the shower! We arrange most of our own music and are performing at more
and more concerts and charity events across Oxford. (Thanks to Wesleyan
Medical Sickness for their support).

Acts: Leo Stage

the world.

2015 Edinburgh Fringe, and subsequently toured around the UK, Paris, and
Australia. Hes also done telly and radio if stuff like that sways your vote.
