hall .Sometimes ,it is held in the afternoon depending on the situation present
.It may be in the form of gospel rock show, records night or a film show .Sometimes
variety shows ,which involves the peformance of houses or individuals are held.
During Gospel rock shows ,the Christians amongst the students find it a time
to praise God ,dance to his name and listen to the word of God.
This is done by musical groups outside the school .The number of active students
increase by 20% whenever a film show is held .They find that more interesting
compared to the Gospel rock show. Benches are carried to the hall by junior
students whenever we have film shows .The film is always projected on the wall
of the stage by a projector and large speakers are used .A film or movie is
watched at a go and if there is more time,another is watched.
The most interesting entertainment ever in Achimota, which causes students excitement
is records night. during this peroid of the week, students start preparing for
it by washing this school uniforms well, ironing them properly and polish their
shoes extremely well. Directly after school on Friday start discussing about
the incoming entertainment. They struggle hard to find partners for the dance.
At supper that night, the dining hall is very noisy and some student choose
not to eat because of their eagerness to dance. One can smell all kinds of perfumes
on the compuond before the dance. Directly after supper, students rush to the
assembly hall where DJ is already present preparing the place for the dance.
Students then walk about smarrly to find their partners. The floor is usually
opened by eager seniors who draw the rest of the students in.
The dance is usually vigorous and entertaining for those who aren't dancing.
Those on the dance floor dance to their satisfaction and then take some before
continuing.
Generally, entertainment ends at 9:00pm but for this night it usually goes on
for bit longer. After entertainment all students go back to their houses and
take some well deserved rest.
Back to student life.
