I can only watch performers or artist live during Fiesta in our town. It's free but if you want to get the chance to see those artist up close, you can actually buy a ticket for that and pay a certain amount. I'm not sure though how much is the pay, they have VIP chair which is in the front row with a table and a snacks and drinks. Sounds tempting no <(￣︶￣)↗? But I always get the "free" one as I can still enjoy it even from a far, haha. To be honest, I never once buy a ticket during fiesta in our town, it's called Grand Variety Show with special Guest - and even though I really love the bands who performed in our town, I can still hear them anyway and that's enough haha. I can still jam with them, though really far, but I enjoyed it too. Mama did too └|∵|┐♪.
Anyways, this event is from last January 19, 2025, during our town's fiesta or Basudani Festival. Aside from the Street Dancing that we can watch in the afternoon. We also has this Grand Variety Show where different singers, comedians and a band will perform. They are all a special guest and Bansudeños are always excited for them. Look, 6 in the evening and there's already a lot of people waiting in here. And this is the setup of those chairs and tables for the VIPs.
And actually, that time, there's already two singers performing in the stage. And I really like their singing. They we're invited too but they are from Mindoro as well, in Calapan. It's good to know that our Mayor is also inviting singing in our Province. There's actually another one, I'll share about her later.
Another thing, there's also few people here who sells "kutkutin" that walk by for those watcher who wants it. But most of them are nuts, crackers and water. If you wants sweet, milk tea or street foods, you can find them somewhere, just nearby.
During the performance, some of the singers climb down from the stage to see those who's watching them. Some even had a selfies with them. I am not really fond of it so I am not jealous, lol. But if it's Stay Kids, hahhh! I'll surely pay for the ticket to get a selfie with them (☆▽☆).
Anyways, I think the one performing here is JM Dela Cerna. She's singing with Marielle Montellano here, and they sing really really good. I enjoy it too. And they have a lot of fan here. I heard they are the grand champion in TNT Duest in it's Showtime. I don't watch it though coz we don't have TV.
Look at all the people who's excited for them. I'm also taking photos while most of them here are recording videos. This is indeed a beautiful memories to look back on.
And we also have a fireworks display. This made the events feel extra special. It's more fun and it's really happening.
The next performer is a band, called "The Ridleys." I don't know them but they also have a lot of fans here. They also sing well and I love the way their play their instruments. I like their vibe.
There's actually a lot more who performed here, like K Brosas; she's a comediane, Julie Anne San Jose; she's a great singer, and Jilian Wards; a total performer that can sing and dance. And she's really pretty! They are like the main performers. Sadly, we couldn't watch and finish the show coz it's kinda late already. We decided to go home after The Ridleys.
Overall, we enjoy the night, we had a lot of fun. We didn't eat anything during our stay there because we are still full from what we had that day. I'm already excited for next year's grand variety show, lol - i'm already looking forward to it ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
