Part II: The Program Proper

The second part of the alumni homecoming will be a one hour and forty five minute-show. It will start once the alumni are all settled in their seats. This will take a few minutes from the moment they enter the gym because they will be marvelling at what they will see. A tropical paradise inside the gym? Yes, it can happen, because Batch 83 does things differently!

The program will start with an Invocation. This is not a usual prayer uttered by a holy-looking member of the batch (haha), but a special audio visual presentation. The Philippine National Anthem follows, also another AVP. What follows is not the traditional welcome remarks from whoever, but a dance number. Speeches will be blended into the program without anyone feeling a bit bored with the series of two-minute speeches to be given by the president of HAU, the HAUAAI, and whoever wants to make a speech.

The turn-over of the symbolical key, the donation of an artwork to HAU, and the announcement of winners will be done with non-stop music and video going on.

You probably noticed that we will be using a lot of AVPs. You're right. And we will be needing two huge projection screens to do all these.

Are you wondering why it's one hour and forty five minutes? If you are, email me and I will give you an answer --- a secret actually.
