NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Hundreds filled Clifford Park and thousands more tuned in via television all to witness the months of hard work that went into planning the 50th Anniversary of The Bahamas’ Independence.
The show lasting some seven hours, yet some cultural acts had to be cut and residents are weighing in.
The traditional Independence Tattoo and march highlighting all things Bahamian from songs to cultural dances, the armed forces, Bahamian history and more.
The event lasting some seven hours and was said to be timed down to the minute.
But, according to one of the directors for the cultural segment, Philip Burrows, there were unanticipated presentations and speeches by international guests, which then took away allocated time for cultural performances.
Tonya Sampson says time management is key.
On the other hand, these residents say they were extremely impressed with the festivities, understanding that some things happen despite the months of planning.
Also impressed, was primary school student Adam Thompson.
While many adults thought the celebrations were a bit lengthy, he says he thoroughly enjoyed learning about our country.
