Masskara na!

MASSKARA FEVER STARTS TODAY

Sum-ag Elementary School: Champion (School Category 2010)

TODAY is the first day of the month of October. A day where all bacolodnon starts to celebrate the Masskara Festival until the 19th of the month.

Masskara Festival is one of the grandest and colorful festivals in our country today. Streets will be filled once again with streetdancers wearing beautiful and colorful masks and costumes. I know, one can’t resist to dance to the beat and rythm of Masskara music while wearing one’s personalized mask.

“Dali! Lakat Ta! Sa Masskara!” (Hurry! Lets go! To Masskara!)

I have been witnessing the Masskara Festival for years and I’m quite excited because finally the organizers agreed to use live music for the barangay streetdancing competition in this year’s Masskara Festival and for school's category- they will use the previous mixed- music of masskara. Playing with different instruments like drums, trumpets, percussion, and alike can be more exciting and danceable. Believe me, a beat can electrify the bones of every spectators from all walks of life to dance while the Masskara dancers are doing their routines. Well, ofcourse, when I said live music I was thinking about La Carlota Drum Beaters but I know it will be different. This time it will be more on distinct Masskara Spirit. Simply MASSKARA SPIRITS that will stand out among other festivals!

“Dali! Lakat Ta! Dala Masskara!” (Hurry! Lets go! Bring our Masskara!)

Every year Masskara Festival gets more exciting and so it attracts thousands of foreign and local tourists. So, if you are planning to visit and witness the Masskara this month you should book your hotel now as early as possible before its too late. I know, you don’t want to see yourself sleeping at one of Bacolod’s motels. Di bala?

“Dali! Lakat Ta! Masskara na sa Bacolod!” (Hurry! Lets go! It’s Masskara in Bacolod!)
