The Liahona ex-students float parade, part of the LDS school's 65^th anniversary celebration, brought central Nuku'alofa to life with music, dancing and celebration this morning along the route from the Faua Wharf, along Hala Vuna, and Hala Taufa'ahau to Teufaiva Stadium.

The float parade was a fusion of brass band music and hip-hop which produced all sort of dancing movements, with an occasional scramble when someone threw a handful of $5 pa'anga notes into the air for the crowd.

Traffic through central Nuku'alofa came to a stand still for a over an hour until the float parade reached the stadium, where a Seven-a-side inter-college rugby tournament was scheduled end the school's seven-day 65^th Anniversary Celebration, which started on July 9.
