Manlalakbay...Easter Sunday Variety Show

The Holy Cross Parish in Gango, Ozamiz City, Philippines will be launching a variety show during the Easter Sunday (March 23, 2008). It aimed primarily to enhance the talent and skills of the Holy Cross Youth Choir but interested individuals are very much welcome to join. Secondly, it need to raise funds to renovate the church since it was noted that there were too many columns inside. Then it was suggested to reduce the number of columns but without sacrificing its structural components. A structural engineer was consulted for these purpose but accordingly it need some money to realize it.

With this, Manlalakbay was invited to participate with the variety show as a double back up presentation. It is a combination of music and dance with additional talents of selected individuals. For now, Easter Sunday is past approaching and the youth was busy preparing the production together with the Manlalakbay. For the marketing component, the Parish Pastoral Council with its member organizations was tasked to help with regards to the selling of tickets and other sponsorships.

Well, after almost 7 years of shutdown our band, Manlalakbay, was on its feet again for more or less a reunion concert this coming February 29, 2008 at ICC Arts Center, La Salle University in Ozamiz City, Philippines. It was first suggested to focus and work on original materials but some of our friends have known about our reunification and start negotiating us for live performances. At first, we were hesitant to accept one due to conflict of schedules but after some time another friend came to us for a much more negotiable terms not financially but on the concert preparation like band rehearsals, legworking and marketing. With this, it is expected to gain more experience and bonding between the group after all of those years not working ourselves on stage and during rehearsals. It is with high hope to forge a more dynamic interaction among us and establish back our chemistry on and off stage.
