Excited that my daughters group was one of the Grand Finalists.
August 15. THE GRAND FINALS.
As our CALL TIME, we arrived at SM ANNEX-ECOLAND at exactly 3pm. Children are so excited, parents are more nervous!
Yes, I have mixed emotion that time. Afraid that my daughter fall from the "SUGONG" (bamboo tree) and at the same time I'm excited to see my daughter dancing for the finals.
After months of preparation and rehearsals by the participating dance and theater ensembles of various competing contingents, the one day elimination night at SM ANNEX-ATRIUM this year's Sayaw Mindanaw was concluded last August 15 with the GRAND CHAMPION from my daughters group, CVAES-ROTARY CLUB of DAVAO Dance Troupe for Children Category.
So proud of my daughter, tears of joy indeed.
