All current lower school students should heed the warnings contained within this webpage - after two years of A-level study at BRGS, you too will be driven to dressing in bizarre clothing like this and wandering the streets of Rossendale for the rest of the day receiving disbelieving looks from passing motorists. And that's just the teachers!!! (See picture right - click for full size images) There were some splendid home-made costumes this year which had obviously taken a lot of time and effort to construct. |
 L-R: Mr. Ormerod, Mrs. Ashworth, Miss Bowden, Mrs. Boswell, Mr. Elkington, Mr. Bristow, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Morriss, Mr. Manning. |

The Lego Men: A great effort from Chris Maltby and Stephen Lord in their own home-made Lego Men outfits that showed some real ingenuity in design. Click for full size picture. |

Gandalf: Philip Hargreaves was not easy to miss as he towered above everybody else in his home-made Gandalf costume. Stood on blocks of self-expanding foam and with the height from his hat, he must have stood nearly 9 foot tall. |
| The Parade: | The morning began with the traditional parade in the main hall led by Mr. Edwards. The old favourites came out - The Conga and of course: New York, New York! Click on any thumbnail for full picture. | ||||

Left: Even pantomime horses have little accidents! Can't have those sheep marking out all of the territory. |

Left: Yes - that is Sir Elton John with Mr. Morriss - the real Elton, not some fake. He dressed up to look like Chris Moylan, but there's no disguising the fact that it's Elton under there! | |
| Buffet: | Before everyone left school for the final time before exams and becoming casualties of an afternoon of excess (providing you didn't have an exam that afternoon, as a number of leavers did!) it was up to the Common Room for a buffet lunch. | ||||
