Today during both lunches, OCHS was entertained by Chata Addy and His Dance Band – Susuma - for this year’s Diversity Month. The band varied their performance with original songs, traditional, contemporary, and world beat sounds. Chata spiced up the music by singing in English and his native language Ga. The band not only brought diversity to the school, but inspired students and staff to become involved in the performance with singing, dancing and drumming. OCHS would like to thank Chata Addy and His Dance Band Susuma for their performance.
