To promote the show we toured local colleges and high schools

The school visits were brief and involved short speeches and quick autographs

We performed a set consisting of several tunes from Supernova, a few covers and two Filipino songs

The sound company (Sound Chaser) was brought in from Manila

Lighting was not up to normal standards but the sound filled the arena
