On July 24th 2015, books were temporarily closed; group meetings and group assignments postponed for few hours; and presentations were put on hold while students gathered at the 6^th floor auditorium of the KDI central building. The KDI School held 2015 song and dance competition. The festival started with barbeque and buffet from 5:00pm and the first session at 5:30pm with a warm welcome from Dean Chun, Hong Tack.  12 participants signed up for the competition with group performances: The Rising African Dancers, the Bollywood dancers, Da Bomb, Pelize Dancers and solo performances from Jerry Mouse, The magic dancer, Inwan Cho and Lao Shy boy. It was a competition that students could show their talents in different routines, acts and wonderful performances. The surprise of the night was a performance by the staff of the student affairs division -LA CHA TA-. Apparently, no one was to be left out.

For students who usually bury their heads in books, it was the time to unwind, relax and just enjoy this memorable night. It was entertaining and exciting all the way for the students. However the judges had a more difficult task to do because the competition was tight and the talents were amazing.  In addition, students were entertained in between performances with the international trivia quiz sessions which audience were asked questions about countries from around the world and prizes given to the lucky winners.

The first prize went to the group called “DA Bomb”, second prize to the duo “The Pelize dancers” and third place went to “The Bollywood dancers”. Other prices were the Popularity award and it went to the group “La cha ta” and the Global award which went to the group “The rising African dance”. In the end, participants were congratulated for wonderful performances and were all declared winners.

The festival came to an end at 8:00pm. It was indeed a night to remember. Students exhibited the unity in diversity of culture that the KDI School has, by teaming up with each other from different countries across continents to form groups and deliver beautiful performances.
