Grade Seven

July 29, 2015, Wednesday –It was a close fight between all competing levels, but the Freshmen rose as champions, the Seniors as second placers, the Juniors in third, and the Sophomores as last in the Inter-level jingle competition.

“Concept-wise, it was nice and their choreography was smooth and clear. But, they were playing safe in the routine,” Sir Rommel Alvarez, the competition’s tabulator, said.

The third performers, the Grade 8 centered on
