They were born in the 90s but on Saturday night St. John’s College Junior College students will celebrating the 80s – pageant style. A 5th Mr. and Miss SJC will be chosen on Saturday night and the theme will be the 80s. There will be music and clothes from the 80s but contestants close to age 18. We met them today.
[The contestants are: Kimolyn Vernon, Donghoon Choe, Pheona Staine, Shane Arnold, Annyln Apolonio, Tiffara Spencer, Lashande Rhodas, and Michael Kemp.]
Joseph Stamp, Pageant Director
“The theme of the pageant is reliving the 80s and we are trying to go back a little more when things were a bit less complicated and so we will try and do something different this year. People can expect an entire night of fun and enjoyment. There are different segments; swimsuit, we have the introduction segment, we have the talent segment, and course the question and answer when we find out who is the brightest of the brightest of the contestants.
We are trying to find new and innovative ways to get the students to perform and do different things in the community and this is just another venue that we use to showcase the talent at SJC.
Each contestant is asked to find a charity that they would like SJC to give something to and should that contestant win, then SJC sends some of the proceeds from the pageant to that particular charity chosen by the contestant.”
The funds raised will go to charity. The show will be held at the bliss. It starts at 7 pm and tickets are $15.
