Rondalla is an ensemble playing six basic stringed instruments: banduria, picollo, octavina, laud, guitar and bass guitar. Some native groups invented musical instruments for merrymaking, work, courtship, religion and more. The rondalla is inherently Filipino in terms of development and orchetration whom originated mainly from the Spaniards. Usually medley songs are played in fiestas and local celebrations. Nowadays, schools formed its group of students whom love for music is its passion.
West City Central School's Rondalla coordinated by Ms. Urbina Toledo and its trainor Mr. Michael Auxillo. This composed of children from different grade levels. Exposures in school programs, TV guesting, Mall programs and shows gave life to the group as they flourish to become competent in the field of music.
