The event was organized by the Saipan Fishermen’s Association for its “Tasi to Table” Youth Fishing Club members.
About 40 high school students participated in the event, which was held from 6 a.m. to 12 noon.
The Marianas High School Concert Band won gold and was named one of the command performance groups — one of the highest honors at the Tumon Bay Music Festival.
