In celebration of the 40th Anniversary Celebrations of Flowers Gay Schools the Schools has embarked on a float through the principal streets of Cape Coast.
Under the ‘eagle-eyed’ supervision of Staff and teachers of the Schools and subject to the guidance of the MTTU of the Ghana Police Service who played an outstanding role on the day, selected pupils of the Schools (Upper Primary pupils), alumni, parents and teachers hit the principal streets of Cape Coast amidst jubilation and dancing to brass band music.
For many parents and staff, it was an opportunity to stretch the limbs and exercise amidst the joy and celebrations whereas in the case of many of the ‘younger ones’, the experience was just exhilarating and novel. The media would not be left out of the excitement, as journalist from various media houses joined in the fun and reported live aboard the float.
The entire event which took close to three hours was favored by a cool weather occasioned by light drizzles of rain prior to setoff, which ultimately helped the participants accommodate the pressure of the long but sensational expedition.
The float ended at the fore of the Cape Coast Town Hall, where participants were bussed back to School, after spanning the Adisadel – Siwdu – Starlet 91 street, through Mfanstipim Junction – Kotokoraba Market – London Bridge – Anaafo – Barclays Bank – MELCOM- NIB – Kofi Esuman Ent. – Bakaano stretch.
Back at the Schools, participants were treated to some refreshments and some more brass band music. These understandably courted some gorgeous dance steps from patrons.
