The next stop for Inseason Juice KLAS High School Tour was Pembroke Hall High; and we arrived just in time to catch part of an inter-house football match that was in progress.
It was also the first day of boys and girls track and field Championships; from which KLAS Sports Radio was broadcasting live as well. All this 'sports fever' in the surroundings made the mood more exciting for all.
In the true spirit of KLAS FM's sports/lifestyle blend, the entertainment on this leg of the High School Tour rocked, encouraged and sometimes had students in a frenzy.
Nesbeth was in his glory at his alma mater and had students singing along with him like a choir. "What is the best school...who has the best teachers," he asked, to the uproar of voices shouting - Pembroke Hall! Spirits were high amongst students who created a sea of raised hands when asked to hold them up if they intend on graduating.
Host, Tony Young along with tour producer, Alicia Anderson and all the KLAS crew had their usual upbeat and extensive interactions with students that included organizing a dance competition to the fine juggling of DJ Kat and the Inseason Juice drinking competition.
Black-er's encouraging mode went into high gear, as it has at all the school tour venues so far. He told students that if they had a friend who was not dealing with school work to tell her to "tek whe herself." That had the students laughing. He also told them, "When you reach of age to have a boyfried mek sure yu get yu education so if the boyfriend leaves you "Yu no pop down...'Nobody no hyper than Black;" and the students responded "er."
Alibra and her striking R&B tune done in acapella moved the crowd to singing along with her; as did Ras Emanuel, with his winning style. Winner of a New Jersey DJ competition, he had students waving their hands in the air as they clearly enjoyed the new material he brought to them. Everon had the girls in a frenzy, while all the students sang along with him – as if in a choir. And the school band was remarkable, playing renditions of Bob Marley tunes and others.
Baby Chris was the final entertainer for the afternoon and he delivered exceptionally well; sending students in an uproar, as he sealed up another successful 'stay in school' concert.
