ctober 16th marked the 10 year anniversary of Centerstage, The PY Talent Show. Four pioneer performers of Centerstage, currently in Grade 12 – Andra, Jonas, Sybert, and Wandy, graced the opening act. Danny (G1D), Alicia (G2C), Zolar (G3C), Ivy (G4C), and Airi (G5I) were the Masters of Ceremony. Every year, Centerstage participants undergo a rigorous selection process, during which the PY’s most talented try out for the chance to perform live at the event and vie for the Super Nova award, an award for performance of excellence. This year, 28 of the 78 entries were selected by the judges to participate in the event.

However, it does not stop here. We take great pride not only of our students, but also of our PY teachers, Teacher Assistants and parents who performed with massive energy and enthusiasm for the show’s special number! They truly rocked singing and dancing to “I Love Rock n Roll”! Just like our students, we all applaud their courage to get up and perform in front of such a large crowd, and the fun that they radiated and brought out, most especially to the students! Many thanks to Ms. Jed for the dance choreography! Our heartfelt gratitude to our administrators, teachers, teacher assistants, parents, secretaries, purchasing staff, custodians, and maintenance staff, for the enduring trust, and unfaltering support and assistance. A special thank you also goes out to our PY Music TA, Ms. Allen, and our technical staff especially to K. Game, K. Max, K. Wat, and K. Santi who gave up their spare time and worked steadfastly during auditions, rehearsals and the show itself! YOU all are the reason Centerstage continues to thrive for a decade and beyond! Until the next round! Mabuhay! Mrs. Maricor and Mr. Sebert
