Rehearsal

On November 4 we will be joining the Sambawitan Contest to be held at the Ateneo Covered court. For the past two weeks our group called Le Voix Chorale has been practicing daily (7-9 pm) to master the song and choreography. This is a different kind of contest because the organizers provided us with two "unarranged" songs. So basically aside from the interpretation by the group it is also a contest for the arrangers.

My younger brother David is our conductor, Alan Hioca is our choreographer and Greg Canceran the arranger.

I grew up singing in our church choir and has joined several regional and national competitions already. God has given our family the gift of music since all of us (including my parents, cousins, aunts, uncle) can sing and play instruments. But when we got married and had families of our own we kinda lost our passion for music except for my brothers David and Daniel. So when they invited me to join this contest I immediately said yes. This experience has rekindled my love for music and allowed my 12 year old son to witness this kind of event that i have been telling him since he was a little boy.

The pictures were taken in one of our rehearsals.

On my next post i will update you of the result ...
