In the past November, some of our members have been selected to perform for an event organized by the KPM, named Kem Muzik, along with our fellow badans Sinfonietta, Harmonica and Guitar, Choir and also Kelab Ketua Tingkatan (KKT). Before the actual recording, we had 4 physical combined practices which fell on the 12th, 15th, 17th and 19th of November 2021.
On the first day, our music master, Looi Jia Wen, conducted and went through the two pieces that we would perform, which are “Zheng Fu” and “Enjoy Enjammi”. It was the first time we had a combined practice with the other musical badans and we are pleased to say that it was an enriching experience.
On the 15th of February, our tutor, Sir Eric, polished and ran through both of our pieces. And on the third practice, a charming Tamil dancing and singing group joined us for our song “Enjoy Enjammi”. There were also 2 young and talented rappers who impressed us greatly with their splendid talents. And most excitingly, a few government staff visited us and watched our performance!
On the last day of our practice, we practiced on our own, but we still had fun and bonded well with each other.
The most important day had arrived. We gathered at school at 6.20am and made our way to the recording venue by bus. We recorded our performance there and it all went smoothly. We were done by 12.30pm and headed back to school.
This project has ended well and we are delighted that we can still perform even in the midst of a pandemic. Needless to say, we are overjoyed to have become closer to the other musical badans and know each other better. We are especially grateful to KPM/JPS for providing us a priceless opportunity and a stage for us to shine even in these dark circumstances. Through this project, we hope with our entire hearts that the audience will be comforted by the magic of our music.
