The Music, Dance and Drama season is the time of the year when the students get to show their out of class talents in the music and drama department it is a period of 2 weeks usually climaxed by a 2 day competition. We entered into the season this year with the results of last year’s competition standing at
1. Nsubuga
2. Sempa
3. Lubowera
4. George
5. Armitage
6. Kennedy
But all houses did not lose hope of becoming the best in the competitions.
The activities that featured in the completions were folk songs, Dances, Plays, Instrumental solos, Voice solos, Track songs, Orchestras’, Set pieces which were participated in by all houses.
The dances that featured in the completion were The Rakaraka, The Imbalu, The Runyege, The Bakisimba, The Agwara and The Kinyarwanda Dance.
The western instruments that were played were the clarinet, violin, trumpet, trombone, saxophone and the guitars.
The local instruments played were the Long drum, the horn (agwara), the basic drums, centre drums, the main drum, the calabash, the xylophone, thumb pianos.
The theme of the year was “Patriotism”.
The competitions were very stiff and at the end of day one Nsubuga house was the last, but the competition was not all over on day two all houses worked hard and at the end of the competition day results were announced as follows from behind;
6. SEMPA HOUSE-428points
5. LUBOYERA HOUSE-431points
4. GEORGE-455points
3. KENNEDY-456points
2. NSUBUGA-547points

This was a miracle for some houses as their day 2 performances determined the results of the entire competition.
The first house was awarded a bull and tickets to the house party
The second house 2 goats and tickets to the house party
The third house 1 goat and tickets to the house party
The other houses won themselves a big hand clap and places in next year’s competitions.
The day ended with the winners celebrating and the losers crying eager for the next M.D.D and the Inter house sports day.

And They Said You Shouldn’t Eat Yellow Snow
This is the first in a series of crunchy, creamy, cool and eye-opening articles about the one thing all people enjoy, food. Together we will explore various different types of food with origins from all over the world. The history, variety, taste and popularity of each food item will be discussed. The first is about an all-time favorite!
The Roman Emperor Nero had a favorite treat. It was fresh, cold ice with various fruit flavorings. The Ancient Persians would pour grape juice over snow and eat it in a bowl. Arabs mixed milk with sugar and ice and sometimes dried fruit. All of these dishes were satisfying and delicious.
All of these dishes have one thing in the common: they were the first forms of a now universal dessert. Ice cream! By the 10th century, ice cream was being eaten in Arab cities like Cairo and Damascus. Ice cream first became common in Europe in Italy, where it is known as gelato. It then spread to France and then the rest of Europe. Soon, books were made on how to prepare ice cream.
Ice cream was taken to the United States by English colonists who brought the recipe from England. Ice cream was soon sold in the streets of New York. George Washington and Benjamin Franklin enjoyed eating ice cream. Cones had been invented for some time already. Soon, ice cream soda (soda made mixed with ice cream) made ice cream very popular and it became very common.
After World War Two, ice cream became very popular instantly due to cheap, new refrigerators. Hundreds of new varieties were invented and ice cream shops opened everywhere. Soft ice cream was also developed. Ice cream can now easily be made even at home with an ice cream maker or by another method.
Nowadays, ice cream can be found almost anywhere. It is immensely popular all over the world and is one of the most tasty milk products after milk and cheese. From Indonesia to Iran, from Brazil to Botswana, you can find it. There are now thousands of flavors from black sesame to pistachio. However, the most preferred types are just plain vanilla and chocolate.
Other types of ice cream include strawberry, green tea ice cream with anko sauce which is a chocolate brown bean paste from Japan, cherry ice cream, white chocolate ice cream and many, many more. There is also fried ice cream, which is made by deep frying (submerging in oil) ice cream.
Many new desserts have also been made out of ice cream. One very common form is the Popsicle, which is basically ice cream with no milk on a stick that you hold it with. Another is halo-halo, a Filipino dessert with shaved ice, milk, sweet beans and fruits served in a bowl or tall glass. Snow cones are made from balls of crushed sugar topped with sweet syrup which is then placed in a paper cone. It is very common in the United States and Canada but can also be found elsewhere.
Here in Africa, it can be very warm during the dry season, so ice cream is the perfect treat for those days when you want to beat the heat!
Ice cream is enjoyed by people of all ages and is a great dessert. With all the flavors out there, you will surely find one in there for you. Ice cream is great in all its forms: cool and creamy and sometimes melted.
