It's A Unique Homecoming

We will be hosting the 17th HAU grand alumni homecoming in 2008. I witnessed five homecomings already --- the first was probably in 1998. That was followed by the one held at the Casino Filipino. Then Batches 79, 80 and 81's versions. All of those homecomings were great! But I thought, how can we make ours different? True to our batch vision of "making a difference," our version of the grand alumni homecoming must not only be different. It must be unique!

Let's start off with the general scenario.

Our version will have three parts. The registration, the program proper, and the Batch 83 reunion.

The registration part is already a show in itself. How? I will let you know after I discussed the details during the special batch meeting on February 24, Saturday, 6PM at the Lifegiver Foundation Bldg.

The program proper is a one hour and forty five-minutes show. Forget those boring speeches. They will be a thing of the past. We will still have speeches by the HAU president, HAUAAI president, and other presidents --- but they will be short and sassy. Two minutes each --- no more, no less.

The last part is where we get wild ... and sentimental. This will be our show. A chance for us to show what we're really capable of. We will have dance numbers from both global and local teams, song numbers from our batchmates who can make Simon Cowell end the search for the current American Idol, and more!

Excited already? We haven't touched the surface yet. Stay tuned ...
