Various bands from Grades 7 to 10 joined “ALUNIG: Ang Tunog ng Pagbabago”, UPIS Fair 2019’s Battle of the Bands, last February 15 at the University of the Philippines (UPIS) 7-12 grounds.
UPIS Batch 2021 dominated the event this year, making the extravagant effort of their batch mates that cheered worth-it.
Batch 2021’s Prizmo, composed of Keanne Nuevas, Magan Basilio, Diego Sunga, Polo Uera, Pam Marquez, and Justin Polendey, once again won First Place in this year’s Battle of the Bands. Their winning performance included Macklemore’s Can’t Hold Us, Kamikazee’s Narda, and their own original song, Tiwala.
Another two bands that came from Batch 2021, The Wednesdays and Titos, came in second and third place, respectively. The Wednesdays performed Jet Lag by Simple Plan, She Looks So Perfect by 5 Seconds of Summer, and All I Know, their original composition. Ulan by Cueshe, Antukin by Rico Blanco, and an original song entitled Ikaw were performed by Titos.
Bandarito (Grade 7), Sesame Seeds (Grade 8), A CHORD, Band-Aid, Blue Moon (Grade 9), and On the Horizon (Grade 10), also participated in the competition.
After the competition, the bands 4 Jacks (Grade 11), All In (Grade 12), and Tripolar from Batch 2018 also performed to mark the closing of the event. //by Ria Amano and Angel Dizon
