BUKIDNON PROVINCE – A band festival featuring Cagayan de Oro City and Bukidnon-based bands took place last Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at the Capitol Stage, Capitol Grounds, Malaybalay City. More than 10 bands performed that night and rocked the house down with their powerful performances.
The said musical extravaganza served as the “last hurrah” of sorts – a fitting end to the 2-week Kaamulan 2009 Celebration as well as to the 92nd Foundation Day Celebration of the Province of Bukidnon (Aldaw Ta Bukidnon).
The Capitol Grounds area was really packed!
The March 10, 2009 band festival (bandfest) was made possible by Bioclear, Nestle, Audio Teknik (The Big Sound Authority) and ASTERISK Events and Communications.
Here are some of the photos my brother Bon and I took that night:

I must say these are very great photographs! Very well captured, congratulations! I love the shadows and the dramatic effects. But what I like the most is the way you captured the emotions of the singers/performers.
BRAVO!
Congratulations also to the organizers. The fact that you gave our beloved bands the chance to showcase their music during the Kaamulan and the Aldaw Ta celebrations are indeed very commendable. Please keep up the good work and continue to give them that opportunity for our local artists to hone their skills.
