PRICELESS MUSIC BEHIND THE STRINGS

looks so fragile.. but sounds so good.


Who would ever think that beyond the lushes of green mountains across the timid beauty of Sta.Cruz town, we can find these students who'll made us so proud being a Marinduqueno..

a group of students who inspire us to love the beauty of music --- THE MAKAPUYAT RONDALLA.








.. after a long journey, we finally arrived to our target place.







Let us discover some hidden talents taking this way.

:)

 this school? SO COOL! :)

MAKAPUYAT NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. 1968








Makapuyat National High School is one of the best schools in the province, founded in 1968. MNHS is famous for how their students excel in academics and socio-cultural activities. Makapuyat National High School offers good and quality education, which puts them on the top of the list.












STRIKE A POSE!


We arrived early kaya ayan.. photoshoot muna for a while.
The faculty members welcomed us so warm. We feel like we're highschool students again! :)

AMBUSH-INTERVIEW!
 



 We asked them some sort of questions about their experiences and stories.














THE INSTRUMENTS BEYOND THE BEAUTY OF MUSIC






The Makapuyat Rondalla consists of 25 members, 17 girls and 8 boys. They have two groups of banduria, the alto and the soprano group. They also have 5 octavina, 4 laud, 1 bajo de arco, 1 drum set and 4 guitars.

They serenade their listeners with their beautiful master pieces such as NABASAG NA BANGA, TAMAN NG DIWA, PHILIPPINE MEDLEY, YELLOW BIRD, SPANISH EYES and MABUHAY.


 

GEARING UP FOR A STUNNIG MUSIC --- THE MAKAPUYAT RONDALLA NEWEST MEMBERS!

Mrs. Virginia Penaroyo has already left the corners of Makapuyat National High School, but it does not mean she quits nurturing new talents. She continuously  guide the students in their music career. A SALUTE WORTH FOR THE COACH BEHIND THE SOULFUL STRINGS!




The rondalla members as they play their master piece, Nabasag na banga. Listening to them is like listening to a wonderful opera.

The rondalla has performed well in so many different places, inside the province, in the region and also in national competitions. This is a evident proof that Marinduque talents are simply amazing and could be globally competitive.
