VIRAC, Catanduanes- The Catanduanes State Colleges Laboratory Schools (CSCLS) Elementary Department was declared the champion of the 2nd Christmas Serenade held on Thursday, December 29 at Virac Plaza Rizal. | |||
Featured on the second staging of the Christmas Serenade were voices of different children’s chorale from six contending primary schools in Virac town. | |||
The said event was spearheaded by the Congressional District Office (CDO) under the leadership of Congressman Cesar V. Sarmiento. | |||
The contest aims to display local music talents and provide a meaningful entertainment along with other performing arts displayed in Christmas Cheers celebration. | |||
The champion school, CSCLS received P20, 000. Virac Pilot Elementary School (VPES), the 2nd placer received P15, 000 while the 3rd place, Gogon Central Elementary School (GCES) took home P10, 000. | |||
Other participating schools were Hawan Elementary School, Taytay Elementary School and Virac Central Elementary school. Each received P3, 000 as consolation prize. | |||
The groups were composed of not more than twenty (20) members who are all bona fide pupils of the school they represent and one conductor who is a faculty member in the same competing school. | |||
The contending chorale groups rendered a generic pre-arranged song ‘Carol of the Bells’ and another Christmas jingle of their choice in either “acapella” version or with live guitar-piano accompaniments only. Each school was given a minimum of six minutes but not exceed eight minutes presentation time. | |||
Customized shirts of the contestants were provided by the congressional district office which also served as a part of their costumes. | |||
Criteria for judging included 30% equally allotted for musicality (tone quality, pitch, power, control, phrase); musicianship (balance, blend, accuracy of rhythm and diction); and visual appeal (costume, posture and poise, gesture, expression and techniques). | |||
Audience appeal, with 10% came from attitude towards audience, response from audience and general appeal. | |||
Aside from the competition, a stand-up comedian from Manila and a fireworks display graced the congressman’s night. | |||
