A festival of the finest Philippine marching bands dubbed as IHUDYAT! 2017<\/strong> will be held on Saturday, March 25, 2017, 4:00 pm, at the UP Diliman Amphitheater. The festival highlights the participation of elite bands of the Philippine Air Force, Philippine Army, Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Marines (Navy Fleet), The Citizens\u2019 Brigade Band of Dasmari\u00f1as, Cavite and the Imus Youth Symphonic Band.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

IHUDYAT! 2017<\/strong> includes works of National Artists for Music Col. Antonino Buenaventura and Maestro Lucio San Pedro, who made significant contributions to what Philippine marching band music is today.\u00a0 Buenaventura\u2019s popular folksong \u201cPandango sa Ilaw\u201d and San Pedro\u2019s masterpiece \u201cLahing Kayumanggi\u201d are some of the pieces that will be performed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The festival also aims to further elevate a kind of music that has become a huge part of Filipino life and culture. Owing to its Hispano-Catholic heritage, the Philippines is popular today as a country of \u201cfiestas\u201d. \u00a0Filipinos are known to be people who celebrate life and salvation almost the whole year round. In honor of their Savior or patron saints, they welcome friends and strangers alike into their homes to savor their finest delights, while an interminable procession of beautiful and bountiful blessings are paraded in the streets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Street marching band music, especially in the provinces, is evident in baptismal rites, birthday parties, sporting events, graduations, funerals, and practically every event celebrating life. Community organized bands show how interconnected, well governed, and organized its people are. Bands have been a source of pride and have somehow saved many a Filipino youth away from societal menaces such as drugs.<\/p>\n

With IHUDYAT! 2017, the country celebrates the significance of street marching band music in Filipino culture, and acclaims the many wonderful ways it has\u00a0 enriched Filipino society and humanity.<\/p>\n
