I have recently invested in a Veho Muvi K2 Camera (an action / sports cam, which looks and acts like a Go-Pro for half the price). Along with the camera I purchased a suction windscreen mount, in order to experiment with the type of films that I would be able to make I have made several driving films, and this is the first of them.

The British Columbia High School Bhangra Competition (BCHBC) Society is a non-profit organization, made up entirely of volunteers, that endorses and encourages youth to excel in a traditional dance form that is good for their health and personal development. Our mandate is to provide students with education awards and scholarship opportunities so that they can excel in higher learning and make future contributions to their communities. BCHBC is pleased to say that over $65,000.00 in scholarships and awards was made available in 2009 and over $108,000 was offered in 2010 to BC high school students by the society at the annualBCHBC Scholarships & Awards Banquet in front of delighted parents, relatives, teachers and other supporters.
The BCHBC championship event is intended as a showcase for secondary school youth to exhibit the art form of Bhangra, an energetic dance form and team sport, in schools throughout the province. Creating school teams and competing with fellow youth allows students to have fun while also fostering team and school spirit. Through the High School Hype initiative students are able to support their team and school at the competition by showing their spirit and cheering on their teams with their fellow students in their school's own specially designated high school hype section. BCHBC is a stepping stone for students to proceed to the competitive arena of higher level competitions such as Bhangra Idols and VIBC, in the province of British Columbia!
The BCHBC Committee is proud to announce that the 2011 BC High School Bhangra Competition will be the most exciting competition yet! The very popular competition has surpassed expectations year after year, growing from a local district event to a large and well-known provincial competition. BCHBC is a stepping stone for students to proceed to the competitive arena of higher level competitions such as Bhangra Idols and VIBC, in the province of British Columbia!
Due to the popularity and overwhelming support from the community, this competition has grown beyond our wildest expectations. It has sold out year after year, and due to this increasing popularity a more practical, larger and highly technological venue was necessary to accommodate the demand, so this year's competition will be held at the Red Robinson Show Theatre in Coquitlam on Easter Sunday, April 24th, 2011.
The British Columbia High School Bhangra Competition is the only official Bhangra contest exclusively for high school students in grades 8 through 12. Competing dancers must currently be enrolled and registered as a student in the Province of British Columbia Secondary School System. In addition, each school is allowed to enter only one team in the provincial competition.
BCHBC Society invites you all to come out and support the community's rising school stars as they perform and compete in the 5th annual BC High School Bhangra Competition 2011!
It takes a whole community to raise an educated and cultured child.
