This year the Panagbenga street dance parade redeems itself. It’s truly been one heck of a ride.For me this has been one of the most enjoyable of the Panagbenga street parades yet.
It’s probably because:
- I didn’t have to wrestle my way through the crowd to get to my seat (Got up early but it was worth it)
- of the weather ( I wasn’t scorched by the heat this time =)
They started on time! (I think that this was one of the best parts about the parade *_*)’ - Most of the performers stopped right in front of our spot to dance (well its not like they we’re dancing just for me…didn’t mean it like that)
- The performers we’re really good! (you’d see that a lot of hard work was put into the costumes, street dance executions of some)
- A lot of performers we’re smiling while they danced!
(when you smile you add charisma to the performance…I know its tiring to dance…on top of that, there isn’t a positive crowd response…it takes an extra effort to smile…there should be an award for the performers with the most smiles…and it isn’t Illegal to look at the camera and smile…I promise cameras don’t STEAL SOULS =) - I had a good camera with me (wasn’t the best because it was a bit bulky and it kept saying “Card Full”..had to delete some stuff *T___________T or reduce the size of the images)
- I took pictures that I could be proud of
- I had a great lunch (sheer nectar… *u* )
The downside about this parade:
- Some of the crowd control people! (Seriously! You ask them politely to move a bit so you can enjoy the parade and they lash out at YOU! They tell you that they have ID’s and you the insignificant bystander o_o# have no right to ask them to move! Yeah they talk like they’re the most important part of the parade…some of the crowd control people are like this)!@#@@!
- People who aren’t dancers who stand smack in the middle of the entire performance (Seriously you wrecked the view!)
- Time interval between the dancers was too long…(in a performance never leave the stage empty)
I’m hopeful next time:
I’ll get a better spot than the one I got this time (there were some angles that I wanted to capture and wasn’t able to T____T )
My Camera will have a larger capacity for memory and longer battery life. (card memory full..low batt T________T)
The weather will still be agreeable
There’ll be a larger announcement for the PANAGBENGA schedule of events and the Grand Street Parade will be included there.
And most of all…
I hope I get to have a next time for this ~_~
