Independence Day Pageant 2011

Today was the annual Independence Day Pageant at St. Paul's primary school. The actually day of Independence is next Monday but the island has been preparing and celebrating for a few weeks now. My students practiced each day for the event and were so excited to showcase their talents to the audience, which consisted of their parents, friends and community members. Selected participants went through a variety of rounds from talents to modeling and even written questions. At the conclusion of the pageant, judges announced the winner of the pageant, one male and one female. The videos below are the respected winners. Enjoy!
