The Golden Festival Highlights
posted (June 9, 2009)

For at least the last 6 years, the Channel 7 tradition at the time of the Belize District Festival of the Arts has been to air a nightly highlight package featuring the winners. That was done in conjunction with NICH but this year – the Belize District Festival moved to the Parish Hall and the NICH video unit didn’t. So no highlights package. But we’re making it back up. Starting today – we’re airing three golden days – 3 hour sessions of the winners form all over the country. If you just happen to miss our live broadcast this morning from the Bliss, Jamie Thompson one of the event’s organizers told us he has been impressed.

Jamie Thompson,
“We had 15 performances from each district, this morning we had Corozal and Stann Creek coming to the Bliss Center for Performing Arts to showcase their 15 best gold performances from the district Festival of Arts. From the little that I saw, it is definitely evident that they had a long time to rehearse some of the stuff and we had children from the infant age all the way up to the Standard 6 age and each of them did well, they did exceptionally well. The dramas that came from Corozal was well put together and what stood out to me in the dramas was the characterization of the students and that takes a lot of time to accomplish.”

Tune in again tomorrow morning for another live broadcast of the golden winners here on Channel 7.
