(Continued from pg. 1) Our Flags “What I enjoy most is the people we meet, because in some sense they are just like you”, Bryan said. “We might not be from the same island but we all come together because of our heritage.” The Flag Party is for everyone to wave any flag they represent with pride in their country. “It’s a Caribbean themed party, but students from all different countries are welcome to represent their flag”, Ganess said. “It allows students to show pride in where they are from and show that they appreciate their culture.” Many people know the catchy and fast tempo Reggaeton songs that come on the radio, but this year many were introduced to some of the classics that only native Caribbean people are familiar with. “At other parties, you will only here a couple Caribbean songs and the rest is mainstream music”, Ganess said. “For this year’s party, we wanted to take a spin on our regular Flag Party. We decided to do a Throwback Edition, highlighting Soca, Reggaeton, Bachata, Kompa, and African, tunes that we Caribbean’s grew up listening to.” The Flag Party allows Saint Peter’s students to peak into a small window of the Caribbean culture for a night. “The thing that is special about the flag party is that you get to come out and show your West Indian pride”, Bryan said. “You don’t even have to be West Indian to love the islands, you may just love the mu- sic. I enjoy dancing and having fun with my Caribbean and non-Car- ibbean people at the party every year.”
