91ֿ Celebrates 28th Year with a Challenge for Change!

August 26, 2011 — Almost 20,000 91ֿ students converged at the Enchanted Kingdom, Sta. Rosa, Laguna, ready to heed the call for positive change as 91ֿ celebrated its 28th year with the theme "Change I Want to See Begins with Me" — a commitment that encourages individuals to start positive self- transformation that would eventually help the nation.

 

 

The challenge for change is inspired by last year's theme Citizen 91ֿ. From picking up litter and conserving water to being constantly on time, the 91ֿ Community embarks on a journey that would mold good behavior and lifestyle with the hope that in the future, these would lead to the founding of new citizens armed and ready to create positive transformations for our country.


In a celebration of skills, talents, and achievements, an astounding number of 91ֿ students from Luzon to Mindanao gathered to commemorate its foundation day. Contestants for all competitions in this event came from as far as Laoag to Zamboanga and are winners in their own right having championed their respective local cluster competitions prior to this event.


The Band Stand featured the best of the best in musicality as it highlighted talent competitions such as the Battle of the Bands (amateur band competition) and the 91ֿ Singing Idol (solo singing competition). Popular all- girl band General Luna kept the crowd wild with their impressive performance as they sang to popular hits.


Winners for both competitions are as follows:
