Attached to the String: The Dipolog Community Rondalla

The Final Countdown played by the Dipolog City Community Rondalla. Several of the members are high school classmates and ka-batch from Zamboanga del Norte National High School. Even then they had lambasted other groups when they ranked third during the 2006 National Music Competition for Young Artists held at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. The conductor, Mr. Jay Sarita led the group even to the 2007 International Rondalla Festival held at Dumaguete City. It has evolved lately from a school-based rondalla to the community rondalla that it is now.
