PSS music, arts festival today and tomorrow
The 5th Annual CNMI Public School System Music and Arts Festival will be held today, Jan. 20, and tomorrow, Jan. 21, at the Gov. Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center.
Today, the event is from 6pm to 9pm. The schools will be performing a range from traditional dances to showing of films to band performances and reciting poetry.
Tomorrow, Jan. 21, is the exhibition of student’s art works from 9am to 4pm, which include photographs, drawings and prints. That will also be the closing night, which will have a range of performances.
The Music and Arts Festival initially began as a showcase for the award winners who won competitions around the nation and here at home. It has since evolved to include up-and-coming winners like Out of the Ordinary and the San Vicente Elementary School Glee Club. This year also includes new to the scene groups like Rota’s Primitive Dance Krew and the Humanities Council Valentine Sengebau Poetry winners. Veterans on the scene are the Marianas High School Glee Club Rhythm n’ Harmony, POLKSAI Chamorro Club, and the Saipan Dance Studio.
The event is free and open to the public.
