More students shine in Festival of Arts

Tonight’s newscast has focussed on Belize’s young people…and we’ll finish it on the same theme, with a review of last night’s performances in the Belize District Children’s Festival of Arts.

One of the eleven silver performances of the night was done by Biscayne Government School, a familiar folk song. (Biscayne choir sings “Da fu me an’ yu”)

All Saint’s Primary picked up a silver as a group of girls was “Strolling in the Park”, a choreographed dance by Dawn Adderley.

St. Martin De Porres’ rendition of Corinth Morter’s Tribute to the Belizean Flag also earned silver.

Arnick Rowland of Burrell Boom Methodist sang to a packed house. Celine Dion’s “That’s the way it is” was worthy of a silver.

One of only eight golds for the night went to Pancotto Primary. (Children on stage acting in play “Mom are you there”)

Tonight is the final night for regular festival performances. Golden Nights begin on Tuesday.
