ANGONO YOUTH BAND The Angono Youth Band was formed by late 2nd nd Lt. Felimon G. Balajadia of the Philippine Air Force on June 1, 2000 with 24 young and talented musicians of the town of Angono, Rizal. The band's humble beginning had its fair share of hardships and trials. Early in its inception, the band had few instruments to work on. But (Ret) 2 nd Lt. Balajadia slowly but surely bonded the group and enhanced their musicality through constant practice and hardwork. Maestro Lucio D. San Pedro San Pedro is one of the bands' earliest benefactors who quided its formation.
The primary aim of the formation of the Angono Youth Band is to fully developed the God-given talents of these musically gifted youth and share their musical abilities to the whole world.
Through the years the Angono Youth Band increased its members and to date, a whopping almost 75 members comprises the band. Another important advocacy of the band is to make full use of the musical capabilities of their members. Through their talents, members of the band were able to put themselves to school as scholars through music. Their music also became their livelihood as other members became part of the Philippine Youth Symphony Orchestra, while others were able to land jobs abroad playing their musical instruments.
