The Pride of SFAS

Aubrey Sobrepena (1^st year) and Danica Mae Dimanalata (3^rd year) are members of the Kabataang Silay Ensemble Rondalla. The group presently has 26 student-members from different schools in Silay, including SFAS. Danica shares that they have daily practices when they have a performance or a content to join. She says “Even if we are tired, the music that we are playing makes us alive and we don’t stop until we perfect our pieces.”

The KSE Rondalla has performed in different schools like St. John Institute and Silay Institute, in different cities during their fiestas, and in the Cultural Center of the Philippines (Manila). Just last month, they joined a competition in Cebu City. Of the 4 rondalla groups who competed, their group and Bohol’s group won. They are now preparing for another competition to be held in CCP (Manila) in November 2007.
