UB Youth Band organized

For a period of time, the University of Bohol finally revived its band with the new batch of young and talented students taking the helm.

Coming from the well known Loboc Youth Band, the thirty student members are enrolled in the school as scholars. This is an offshoot of the special project entered into between the University of Bohol through its president, Atty. David B. Tirol and Mr. Argeo Melisimo, President, Loboc Youth Band Foundation, Inc. in their desire to help the young band members finish their courses through their God-given talent.

It may be recalled that the Loboc Youth Band played in full group during the 136th Commencement Exercises and during the UB christmas program . With its band leader, Mr. Balbin, the band performed at par with the leading national bands. . No more than the university president, Atty. David Tirol committed 30 scholarship slots to its members which was strongly approved by the Board of Trustess.
