Visitors from Oceania

On the 29^th of July, we were visited by the Rosehill College Band from New Zealand and had an interactive concert with them in the Dewan Bro. Phillipe Wu. But during their visit there was more than just music from them, we were treated to a performance of the traditional Maori dance; The Haka. The Haka is an ancestral dance performed by Maori tribes before they went to battle. The dance incorporates aggressive movements and loud chanting used to intimidate their enemies before their battles. But it was made internationally famous by the New Zealand national rugby team, The All Blacks who perform it before each of their matches.

G'day Mate!

On the 3rd of July, we opened the doors of our Dewan Bro. Phillipe Wu to the Carine Senior High School Band from Perth, Australia for an interaction and a combined performance by both bands. The school board, students as well as our own ex-members were present for the free Matinee performance which included performances by the CHS Sinfonietta and Kelab Kebudayaan. Apart from a concert band, the Carine Senior High School Band also consists of their string, guitar and choir sections which all performed as well.
