Performers giving a wonderful interactive dance.
ST. EUSTATIUS--On Wednesday night, November 11th, a large crowd gathered at the stage to witness Gospel Night, part of the Statia Day week of activities. From the outset, the crowd was seen interacting with the performers. The night featured soloists such as Ingra Bennett, as well as a trio, choirs, and instrumentals, all of which were well appreciated. The choir under the leadership of Shanna Mercera-Gibbs was one of the highlights of the evening, and the night also featured guest stars from Guyana. Each performance had the crowd on their feet as they gave God praise.
Today, Friday, November 13th, the Diamond Waterfall show will take over the entertainment, with several different artists, both local and from abroad, including NBO out of Aruba, Jeffrey Sams, Encore Band, Skinto Sams, DJ Fiber, Rebels Band HD, Galloway, 2-Stroke, and Turbulanzz Band.
On Saturday, November 14th, culture will come alive with Culture Night. Artists such as Shirma Rouse, Ziggi Recado, Strawl, Big Shenn, Mega D, and DJ Rock will take to the stage, along with many others.
On Sunday, November 15th, the night will feature a light and music show. The island could expect a display of lights, and it was explained that the best place to view it would be Bottom of the Hill Head at the Bay Path. The Daily Herald spoke with the show’s Producer Suniti Ghoshal and Show Director Robin Sip of Mirage3D, who promised a beautiful viewing experience for the Statia Day celebration. The display of lights in the sky will tell the story of Statia.
Persons can watch from Fort Oranje, the Government Administration Building grounds, and Lower Town on the Bay. The event is scheduled to kick off at 5:00 p.m. and conclude at 7:00pm. For the first time in Statia’s history, the sky will become the stage, where persons can experience a spectacular celebration of lights, colours, and sounds as the island commemorates 250 years of the First Salute.
After the light show, the White Party on the Rock will begin, and persons are asked to wear white. The night will also feature Mr. Carty, Daemon Taylor, Shaza B, DJ Cannon, Gershon Herrera, Valentino, Josiah Spelman, Dreamerz Muzik, and D’Vybzz Band, hosted by the ever-talented performers Private and Face.
