Cramping, b-boy, isolation, whacking, belting, tremolo, and other dance and sing moves filled the stage of SM Novaliches last February 29, 2012. Dancers, swaggers, singers, biritero’t biritera…call it whatever you like, it was STI’s 6th Talent Search Inter-school Competition that brought the house down with performances from 14 participating schools. One of the most awaited events of the year was held with much anticipation at SM Novaliches’ Activity Center to the pleasure of the cheering crowd. Emcees Ms. Judith Sindico and Mr. Edwin Superable, both STI Novaliches’ COMART instructors took to the stage wits and laughter, and together with Mr. Jonnie Baraquio, the school’s Social Science instructor, led the crowd to a wild hoopla when the contestant came out with a big production number to start the show. With a master mix of songs and chest-thumping beats, dance groups representing different schools around the Novaliches area strut their stuff on the dance floor; while singers took center stage to belt out the best versions of their contest piece, definitely a battle to grab the much-coveted championship title giving the distinguished panel of judges a hard time to decide. In all contests, only one will arise victorious; only one can claim the title “Champion” -and that recognition went to Ms. Lyane Maddatu of Sto. Nino de Novaliches of Quezon City topping all other contestants in the “Pop Singing Idol” portion; the D’ Beat Force dance crew of San Bartolome High School wowed the crowd of parents, teachers, and all other groups as they bested all others with their exciting combination of dance moves in the “Hataw Sayaw” segment. Winners or not, the event was a blast! It brought out the best in all the performers – staging their talents beyond expectations. Now everyone has something to look forward next year, until then, practice, practice, practice. Remember: hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard.
