Today is weeks before our kickoff concert and we are going to teach the choreography of &#x27;8TonBall&#x27; because me and Stell choreographed the &#x27;8TonBall.&#x27; Hindi pa siya tapos pero we worked with Kuya JM, W3 para sa blockings and mavisualize yung mga images ng sayaw mismo,” Justin shared.</p><div> </div><div><strong></strong> <iframe width="681" height="383" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pQRr4LKpxX4" title="[SB19 VLOGS] Simula ng KICKOFF Rehearsals" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><strong></strong></div><div> </div><p>The duo guided their fellow members and W3 Official dance crew through the routine. Despite the demanding rehearsal, the group maintained their fun-loving spirit.</p><p>“Sa mga katulad kong malalakas, dapat talaga turuan natin yung mga mahihina kasi alam niyo naman, ano tayo, master na tayo eh,” Josh said.</p><div> </div><div><strong></strong></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKeZb46zEwJ/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A230684.19999999995%2C%22ls%22%3A229847%2C%22le%22%3A230537.19999999995%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><p>Justin admitted the choreography was particularly challenging because the whole group dances from start to finish without any exits.</p><p>“We just finished the choreography of &#x27;8TonBall.&#x27; Medyo nakakapagod siya kasi it’s a choreography na walang exit ang SB19. It’s the five of us dancing the whole song so medyo mahirap gagawin namin so tinatry namin with vocals if kakayanin talaga with like the whole concert na,” Justin said.</p><p>The second part of the vlog highlighted their band rehearsals, where leader Pablo and Ken gave input on musical arrangements. The group was praised for giving their all, even during rehearsals.</p><div> </div><div><strong></strong></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKoyrscvfQ9/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A253232.6000000001%2C%22ls%22%3A229847%2C%22le%22%3A230537.19999999995%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="510" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><p>Further rehearsals focused on refining stage blocking, dance transitions, and even testing special effects and stage mechanics, including trap doors and raised platforms. The group also shared clips from their vocal rehearsals, showing their harmonization practice.</p><p>“They are enjoying what they are doing,” they wrote in the caption in the video.</p><p> One notable moment was Pablo’s intense focus on their “Gento” dance break, where Stell guided him in perfecting his moves. </p><p>“Dumaan ang ilang rehearsals at talaga 100 percent sila all the time,” said in the caption.</p><p>In one part, Pablo later delivered a motivating message to the team and his fellow members.</p><p>“Isa ito sa mga dreams ng bawat isa so be mindful lang sa kung ano yung role niyo. Katulad ng sinabi ni Kuya, control. Hindi lang control sa dance, control din sa energy, control sa lahat. Be mindful sa mga kasama niyo rin. We are not performing as mag-isa but as a group, lalo na sa SB19,” Pablo reminded.</p><div> </div><div><strong></strong></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKy_d-ATuSx/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A277843.30000000005%2C%22ls%22%3A229847%2C%22le%22%3A230537.19999999995%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><p><strong> </strong>As the group moved to the Philippine Arena for final rehearsals, Pablo took over the vlog to express their commitment to making the concert perfect for their beloved fans, A’TIN.</p><p>“One more day before the real concert. Nandito kami ngayon sa Philippine Arena. Pinapanood namin kung ano mangyayari. Gusto natin ibigay yung the best for everyone who will going to watch the concert because they deserve it,” Pablo expressed.</p><p>He added, “Some people will come from other countries just to watch us so gusto talaga natin maayos ang lahat kaya kahit the hardest thing na gusto pa madagdag, try natin iyan. I’m so excited for the concert and I know its going to be memorable kasi Philippine Arena is the first (big venue) concert ng SB19.”</p><p>Josh also emphasized their dual roles as performers and creative directors.</p><p>&quot;Bigger ang venue so maraming adjustments from siyempre yung bounce ng sound and everything. Since handle namin lahat, hindi lang kami magpeperform, syempre doon din kami sa technical side,” he said. “More patience din talaga ang kailangan.” </p><div> </div><div><strong></strong></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKjuCd2Txt4/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A316664.1000000001%2C%22ls%22%3A229847%2C%22le%22%3A230537.19999999995%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="567" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><p>Their hard work paid off as SB19 successfully mounted a two-night concert that drew praise from fans and celebrities alike.
