Posted on Dec 04 2008
The award winning Manta Band from Saipan Southern High School will present a special guest performance at the Mount Carmel School Theatre Club’s production of It’s a Wonderful Life this weekend. The band, which has been preparing for several months now, will perform an overture of sorts of music to be featured in It’s a Wonderful Life, as well some popular Disney and Christmas tunes.
“This is great,” said Galvin Deleon Guerrero, principal of Mount Carmel and advisor for the school’s Theatre Club. “We’ve wanted to work with the Manta Band for some time now. This is a good first step.”
Under the leadership of conductor Will DeWitt, the Manta Band has been making a name for itself as one of the best performance bands in the region. In March this year, the Manta Band took the Gold Medal in the Tumon Bay Music Festival in Guam. Soon afterwards, members of the Manta Band represented the Northern Marianas in the Beijing Summer Olympics.
It’s a Wonderful Life will run tonight and tomorrow night at Saipan World Resort’s Royal Taga Hall. For tonight’s dinner show, doors will open at 5:30pm, followed by a buffet dinner at 6pm and the performance at 7pm. Doors will open for tomorrow’s show at 6pm, with performance at 7pm. Tonight’s tickets are $35 per person. Tomorrow’s tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.
