The evening starts with a short concert from the Harmonie, after which the meal is served, with an entr'acte featuring entertainment from the Banda'Suzanne. After the meal, the dance music this year was provided by a four-piece cover band. It's quite a big event; there were 650 diners, and we broke a record, serving them all the fish course in 20 minutes. Here's a few pics and a video to give you an idea.

WOW WOW WOW
650 diners!!! That must be quite an atmosephere and a LOT of serving staff!
Outside caterers prepare the meal and they do a good job. Their huge lorry parked outside the hall had brought all the necessities, and they had even built a real charcoal barbeque outside the hall to cook the steaks. I was dead impressed.
The actual serving of the food is done by members of the Harmonie and their families, except those members who have chosen to pay for the the meal, who not only get a great evening out but avoid the hard work. Maybe I will do that next year.....
Sounds interesting Mark. When is it?
Amazing!! The French have a real sense of community, they put us to shame!
