By Wanda Vaughn


High school music festivals is an event that is aimed at nurturing talent of the young people in the high school. They are organized annually by the school management and the government. The best are awarded according to the performance and the category they have reached.

This performance is greatly embraced by the students because it is enjoyable to travel all over during the sessions. They therefore do their best to ensure that they remain in the race for them to keep enjoying the benefits that come along. Some pupils even get to travel abroad due to the performance and this is a great channel for them in terms of academic venture and popularity.

During preparations of the events, students are given the leaflets containing the songs to familiarize themselves before they come together for rehearsals.
