It is time for the Coronation Ball! Won't you like to dance? April 23 (Wed): Family clans will spend time for their own reunions.

What with the Best Flower Offering of the Day Contest. May 1 (Thu): Jump to a good start. Get into the rhythm. Get to dance with the candidates for Ms. Banton 2003 in the final canvassing and dance ball. May 31 (Sat): We save the best for last! This will be the night of all nights. Experience the grandeur of the local sagala. Watch the Banton 2003 beauties in their elegance. For one last time, dance with the one you have been dancing with since the day the rains first dropped. Dance until the day breaks.
