Welcome to NJC Angklung Ensemble's blog! :)

We are a group of carefree students who have gathered together,
regardless of bawahs, normals, atas, kulintang and percussions
to create music like none other with our conductor, Mr Dzul. :D
Teacher i/cs: Mr Tan Chor Yean, Ms Sun

The remaining 12 who are in the running for exco 2007-08 took a simple pre-interview test on Monday morning.

The test consists of 2 sections. Section A consists of short questions pertaining to some facts about NJC Angklung and Section B consists of 2 questions modelling issues that an exco member may have to handle.

The purpose of this test is to test how much the exco applicants know about NJC Angklung and for the present exco to know how sensitive, practical and insightful the exco applicants are. The results of this test will be used as one of the basket of instruments to decide who will constitute the final 6 members of the new exco.

Here are the questions in Section A and the answers.

Q1) Which year was the NJC Angklung Ensemble formed?
A1) 1977
Answers I saw include 1997 and 2003. The closest were 1978 and 1979. NJC Angklung Ensemble has been around for 30 years and it is not as young as some of you may think.

Q2) Mr Dzul composed two pieces for the Angklung Ensemble. Both were played at SYF Central Judging competitions. Name these two pieces.
A2) Wave of Hope and Reverie
Most people got this correct. It is shocking that some people answered Zapin. How can they not know that Zapin is a traditional Malay dance song?

Q3) Where can you buy Mr Dzul’s albums? State either the name of the shop or the shopping centre where the shop is situated at.
A3) Muzika Records at Joo Chiat Complex.
A few got it correct. I challenge the people who answered CD Rama and Mustafa to try to find his albums there.

Q4) If you go to Angklung Ensemble’s website on KM, whose name can you find in the “Contact” box at the top right hand corner of your computer screen?
A4) Ang Xue Si
You won't see Mr Fuad's or my name there.

Q5) State an event the Angklung Ensemble is going to perform at in July 2007.
A5) Heritage Festival at Suntec City on 21st July.
All got this correct. How can anybody get this wrong?

Q6) Name any 2 pieces of Western Songs that are songs played by the Angklung Ensemble.
A6) Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps, Stand by Me, Rivers of Babylon, Save the Last Dance for Me, Heart and Soul, Sway
All got this correct. Impossible to be wrong.
