On the 23rd of December 2018, a Christmas themed joint concert was held at the Experimental Theater of University Malaya by National Band Directors Association of Malaysia to welcome the Christmas season with jolly Christmas music.
Our band had the opportunity to perform with Convent Bukit Nanas School Band as the NBDAM Festival Youth Band. The University of Macau Symphonic Band was also invited to perform as the main show of this delightful afternoon concert.
As the NBDAM Festival Youth Band, our song list for the afternoon was: Jingle Bells, Sleigh Ride, Christmas Recollection, Ride, Arirang and Akatonbo and Folklore for Band.
Before the performance, we had a brief interaction with the band members of University of Macau Symphonic Band. Although brisk, it was a chipper time talking to them and sharing our stories and experiences from two different countries.
Overall, it was a good day spent and we hope to be exposed to more events like this in the future.
