00:24 Kes and his band didn't disappoint the thousands of loyal prestige fetters who turned up last Sunday for the 12th edition of the all-inclusive party.
00:32 Apart from Kes being the headline act, Naila captivated the crowd.

01:09 Problem Child's hit song, Holiday, that has gained popularity over the last few months, was also well received.

01:28 It was the first time a presentation decided to move the venue to the Brian Larris Stadium
01:33 and transformed the car park setting at the back of the stadium into the Taruba Gardens, welcoming the thousands that came.
01:41 Offstage, this guy was a showstopper as many flocked to this food station to satisfy their taste buds.
01:48 People are coming in, grabbing and going down. Our first batch just finished, about an hour and a half done.
01:54 And we have another batch coming off about 800, so it wins again.
01:57 There were several other mouth-watering dishes available for the patrons to enjoy,
02:01 from an array of Thai, Japanese, French Creole and Italian to name a few.
02:07 But there was one particular hors d'oeuvre that stood out.
02:11 What we have in here? What we gonna have in here?
02:13 We gonna have here, we have pork with jam and cream cheese.
02:16 Pork with jam and cream cheese.
02:18 Came up with that combination?
02:20 The boss, the lady here, she's the owner, she came up with the combination.
02:24 Alright, so pork, jam and cheese, an interesting combination here.
02:29 I'm gonna actually try.
02:32 Excuse me.
02:34 Not bad, I have to recommend it to everybody here, just to try this.
02:45 Many patrons were happy with the food and entertainment, but had mixed feelings about the change in venue.
02:52 It's a bit more spacious, but the nostalgia of being on the presentation grounds, it's unmatched.
02:58 I'm giving it a fair chance, I like that it's a bit more airy and spaced out, everything's not wrong.
03:03 But there's just a nostalgia of going to the college itself, but we'll see how it goes.
03:07 Good venue, open space, we're now entering, so hoping inside is the same ambience.
03:13 And people looking relaxed.
03:17 We always have a great time no matter where Prestige is, because I'm having a good time tonight.
03:21 We usually have a good time at the college as well.
03:24 What's your first impression of the new venue?
03:26 It's big, spacious, so we have more place to get on board.
03:30 Definitely impressed with the drinks and the food.
03:33 I think the only thing that we were unimpressed with was the wait time, probably to walk in.
03:39 But otherwise, everything else was exceptional.
