Mullings said he is expecting an even greater performance from the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) Band, one of the best in the country. He said the band stunned patrons with its performance last year and he is expecting even greater things on March 1. Additionally, the JCF choir is expected to wow patrons with their performance. “We had them last year and they were so good, it was one of the first time St. Ann’s Bay was having them , that we got them back this year by popular demand,” Rev Mullings said of the JCF band and choir.Other performances for the Evening of Excellence will include noted Jazz singer Dr. Mryna Hague as well as former Gospel Festival winner Edwin Myers. The evening will also feature outstanding keyboard player Andre Campbell. He said there will also be performances from students at the school.
