I wanted to check out the Balangaw Ensemble's breakout performance for the Labfest, so after finding Nicco on the same jeep as I was heading for CCP, I checked out their rehearsal as well.
Nar was the only one we found at Silangan Hall, as Leo was still coming from somewhere (Cavite, I think) and will be late. Even then, they started choosing songs that they will sing. Then Jerald arrived, and decided that he was to jam with the group during the show. They even decided that he pretend to just be there to jam spontaneously, but he still rehearsed his songs with Nar. Then he sang Leo's parts in at least a couple of songs that Nicco and Nar rehearsed. Kamusta naman, parang balak palitan ni Je ang isa sa kanila. So they joked, "Tinali mo si Leo, no?" so he can replace him in the show, hahaha! After finding Leo, Je then left to watch the Set C plays in Batute.
Nar, Nicco and Leo decided to take a break after finalizing their 2 sets, and I attended the talk in the LT lobby that featured the directors of Set D of the Virgin Labfest. Then I went back up to the Silangan Hall and found Jerald rehearsing one of his songs with Nar again. Nyak, while I was walking nearer to them, Nar even gave out a quip that I had decided to just ignore. Sakto daw ang timing ng pagdating ko. Nyak.
When the Balangaw decided to run through their songs, Nicco even tried to do Dodong's choreo when they sang "Walang Ibang Pangarap Kundi Siya". Hehehe, Jerald had to teach it to him, plus the lyrics because he couldn't seem to memorize it. After a while, he became the self-proclaimed director, and even sat on a chair in the middle of the room and pretended to actually be one.
With Max as ASM, Shing and I hung around and talked during the rest of rehearsal and "backstage" before the show, which began at 10:30 instead of 9:30, as there aren't any people around. Rawr. Anyway, there were only a few who had attended, all of them just friends. Sir Roeder even paid for his ticket! Nicco then decided to just begin the show, even though everyone was uncertain whether it was still going to push through or not. Shing and I stayed backstage during the first set, as she typed some stuff she had researched for her thesis, then we went out to sit with the small crowd for the 2nd set. Jerald got to jam for the 2nd time during the 2nd set, as well as Sir Roeder.
Too bad I didn't get to take much pictures, as my phone's battery went dead.
I heard a secret. Disturbed, disappointed, annoyed. But at least I'm not regretful.
