Hello everyone, on behalf of the college, I would like to express our sincere thanks on your performance during the Misaki High School visit. Once again you've proven that Angklung deserved the invites and belonged to the "core" CCA in NJC. You guys put up a stirling performance and I'm sure the guests, the school management and the accompanying teachers enjoyed the session.
Always remember, it is us ( the members, instructors, teachers) that shape the Angklung Ensemble. It is us that determine what others percieve of NJC Angklung Ensemble. So, guys, thank you for great performanve and cheers to more invites....
To add to the above,I.....truly enjoyed the Saturday practice. The songs are coming into shape. I'm sure the percussionist in particular had enjoyed themselves tremendously learning the art of playing gendang with the maestro himself ie Mr Yaziz. Thanks to Mr Zul, Mr Yaziz came down to assess and guide you guys on the finer points of playing the Gendang and by now, I'm sure you are more aware of the capabilities of the gendang. Like he said, you guys can play but you just need to boost up your confidence and recognise the different tome of the gendang and most importantly, feel for the music that youu are playing....
Lastly, to the JC 1s who are reading this.....hope that this 3 weeks have been enjoyable for you guys. And hope that during this 3 weeks, you are more certain of joining us and be a part of us. Always remember, the decision is yours and be responsible for your own decision.....Hope to see you guys donning NJC colours and playing the Angklung /Kolintang with the NJC Angklung Ensemble.
Good luck for the Tianjin Enrichment!!!!!
