The organisers have invited one of the most popular bands called “Netti ĂŠs a Hollander Zenekar” who have already entertained the audience of the previous Bodyguard Balls. All artists were very pleasant surprises for the guests especially the fabulous singer Judith SZUCS, who dazzled the audience with her voice. The Old Fashioned Photograph Show was again the most favoured one among our guests during the evening. The ready-made pictures reminded us to our grand parents’ time with their brownish background and black frame. The guests could choose among a great number of costumes from the turn of the century and received one of the most popular presents of the ballperiod, the “Old Fashioned Photo” of themselves. Besides the popular Old Fashioned Photograph Show the guests had the possibility to play cards and play the roulette â€" lay the stakes â€" free of charge and without prejudice. Now everyone could test his / her luck at the roulette table.

IBSSA would like to express its special thanks and congratulation to Mr. GyĂśrgy B. RĂ"ZSA â€" Owner of R.B.Gy PR Agency â€" for the successful organisation of this event.
