A preview of Multicultural Day

As Multicultural Day 2009 nears, the students and staff in charge are taking care of critical pre-show preparations.  Today, March 31, MCD faculty chairperson, Mrs. Linda Heath and co-header of the MCD museum, Ms. Emily Cajigas,  met with several MCD participants in Cafeteria 1 to time the various performances.  Timing the acts in advance is necessary, according to Heath, because in the past certain performances turned out to be longer than production managers had anticipated, thus throwing off the schedule of the rest of the MDC show. 

So far in the MCD process, nine different groups are signed up to participate in the show: 

Break Dancing Club: Performing a dance resembling to a battle scene.  

Chinese Cultural Dance Club: Performing a Chinese fan dance.
