NEU wins Overall Championship of Sining 2008
A total of 9 high schools participated in the Day 2 of Sining 2008:
Angeles City National High School – Special Science Class (ACNHS-SSC)
Brightwoods School (BS)
Don Bosco Academy (DBA)
Holy Angel University (HAU)
New Era University (NEU)
San Lorenzo Ruiz Center of Studies & Schools (SLRCSS)
St Ann Colleges (SAC)
Systems Plus College Foundation (SPCF)
University of the Assumption (UA)
This brings to 12 the total number of schools who participated in Sining 2008. Pampanga High School (PHS), Mary Help of Christians School (MHCS) and Don Honorio Ventura College of Arts and Trade (DHVCAT) also sent contestants for Day 1 events.
It was indeed a very colorful day for young Capampangan artistry and talent as the different schools battled it out in the 6 different competitions of the day: Declamation (3 participants), Solo Singing (12), Chorale (2), Interpretative Dance (6), Modern Street Dance (6) and Rockoustic Band (10). Sining 2008 proved to be the biggest so far not only in terms of number of events but also in number of contestants. Registered contestants on the dance and band events almost doubled from last year’s turnout.
There were some problems like when DBA’s music stopped for many seconds during their performance in the Interpretative Dance Competition, and when there were some clarifications on the Rockoustic Band Competition rules. But in the end, they were resolved and everyone inside the mall premises enjoyed the kids’ show which truly celebrated Capampangan young talent.
Tarlac-based Capampangan band Mernuts also performed before the Awarding Ceremonies. The band is famous on the Youtube for translating modern Pop-R&B songs and performing them in Capampangan. They delighted the crowd with an unplugged version of their three songs: Alang Kalibe (Irreplaceable), Payung (Umbrella) and Aliwa Kang Talaga (an original).

Each Top 3 placement in all events is worth a corresponding number of points that will be tallied to determine the Overall Winners. In the end, New Era University once again emerged as the Overall Champion – their second consecutive championship.
