Musikapella 2014: A Night Filled with Music of the Apo Hiking Society


Wazzup Pilipinas!

The night of was full of music with different renditions of their own contest piece and songs from the Apo Hiking Society. It was a night with competitors from different schools around the metro. All time favorite Apo song was Doo Bi Doo with different attack from different schools. My personal favorite was Ewan sang by School of the Holy Spirit. Everyone was singing like I was watching Pitch Perfect all over again. I loved how these kids sang from their hearts that made everyone in awe.

Panel of Judges include Jim Paredes, Boboy Garrovillo, Janet Sabas-Aracama, Ma. Lourdes Hermo, Jun Murillo, and Emmanuel De Leon Jr.

Participants were all competitive with their own renditions as well as their choreography. Everyone did a great job from the students to their mentors. While the competition was going on, I had my personal bets and favourites. One was the Paref Southridge High School who gave Blue Jeans a very nice version and had a comedic performance too.

On the other side, bias side, I was rooting also for School of the Holy Spirit because I was an alumnus of Holy Spirit too but in Mendiola. They were really so good. I never had listened to a great version of Ewan, and they’re one of those on my favorite list.

On the fashion side, I loved the costume of UST High School because it was so consistent from head dress to shoes. Wwwooowww!!! I also loved the gown worn by the School of Holy Spirit. The simple red gown just made them more beautiful. I also loved the pink dress of Manila Science High School because it’s very wearable.
