Executive Director of the Tallahassee-Sint Maarten Foundation (TLH-SXMF) Arthur Lugisse says that Sint Maarten students studying in Tallahassee along with the Sint Maarten Tallahassee Student Association (SMTSA) represented the island in a Flag Event.
"The music was great as well as the attendance. Our students were able to participate with their Sint Maarten flags that Commissioner of Education William Marlin sent them a few months ago for the battle of the flags.
"Sint Maarten competed against the U.S. Virgin Islands. The performances were very competitive. Commissioner Marlin realized that the students needed some support in the area of cultural activities and he sent flags, caps and t-shirts. A promise made was a promise kept, he said.
"DJ Outkast came up and had the Caribbean students asking for more. It is our intention to arrange an exchange where DJs and Bands in the future can participate in different events and cultural exchanges between the City of Tallahassee and Sint Maarten," Lugisse pointed out.
