September 14-15 are the Fiestas Patrias or Independence Days for Central America and Nicaragua (respectively). Today, amidst a lot of September rain, the show went on and we had the desfile or "parade" of all Jalapeño schools. There were dancers, bands, and students marching and it was a great little show to see.
I took a short video of the high school drummers from INAJAL because I had been seeing them practicing and they were GOOD. I don't know if it was because of time, but what they performed really didn't showcase their talent, and I hope they have another gig coming up soon so they can really shine!
I forgot my umbrella and it became kind of unorganized, crowded and more rainy after all of the schools entered, so I came home.
Next week is Corn Fest! There will be a lot more folkloric dancing and activities to come, and I can't wait for all of the corn-y goodness. Har har har.
