Huge crowds for Inseasaon Juice KLAS school tour
By: Joseph Cunningham
The Inseason Juices KLAS School Tour has been moving through the island of Jamaica, and in the last two weeks, the stops have been at Spanish Town High and Manchester High respectively.
It so happened that both institutions provided some of the most memorable experiences on the tour so far. A huge turnout of students supported both legs, which were filled with student participation with poems, songs and drama.
Juggling by the KLAS disc jockey created a extremely hyped atmosphere, which resembled a sports day or a party session. However, the "Stay In School" theme was echoed consistently throughout the afternoon.
The Inseason Juice drinking contest further ignited the students, and so did quizzes about black history. Phone cards and gift baskets were presented to Principals from Digicel.
Entertainment from mainstream artistes closed both tours, with Black-Er headlining on both occasions. Whenever he took to the stage the students got into a frenzy, even more so, when he paraphrased his popular songs to teach lessons about safe sex and general moral uprightness.
Jah Mason made a surprise appearance at Manchester High, much to the delight of that school community.
