Hello hello hello, doing my bit to keep this place from dying.
This goes to all current members, who hv been practising hard for the coming syf on 22th Apr. The progress so far has been good. I may not spend much time with u guys, but i hv faith in each and everyone of you, thats why i'm entrusting the ensemble with two original songs, you will be showcasing two songs that hv not been played and heard on angklung anywhere IN THE WORLD. Commitment, perserverance and working as one team will help you to achieve wat u desire. NJC angklung has always been close like a family...we may not hv a wide collection of super big strong instruments, but the closeness and cohesion compensate on that, i'm sure the seniors and super seniors will agree with me. The experience that u gain by being in the ensemble will forever be etched in your heart...again, the seniors will vouch for that.
Once an angklunite will always be an angklunite...thats why u can see some of your super seniors pop-in during your session..even Mr Fuad, the ex-teacher ic sacrifice his precious time to drop by and keep track on the progress. You hv all the support from ur teachers, seniors and instructor.
Getting the award is secondary, wats important is the experience and togetherness that u gain thru the processes leading towards syf, no amount of gold can replace that.
And i hv to warn u this, angklung is very infectious and addictive, u may end up spending more time with ur angklung mates than ur own classmates! (dun believe? ask ur seniors).
Last but not least..lets continue the legacy...stay together no matter wat and work towards a common goal.
Together we make it happen.
