BY: AZUWACHAN

Today IIUM ANGKLUNG GROUP members had a day out together at Kuliyyah of IRKHS. Like an induction course, but with little formality, the program focused more on the new members of IAG and its objective is to bring the members closer to each other and to create a strong bond between them. Also, the members learned what is important for the club and what kind of attitudes should the members instill when facing hardships and conflicts.
The day began with Stretching Dance conducted by Raja Nurwahida Adleen before the members got seperated by the committees fro ice-breaking sessions. In the sessions the members were taught to be themselves and be creative in expressing their ideas.
Then as the day went the members played Treasure Hunt, where they were given the directions in riddles and they need to complete tasks. There's no treasure to hunt, really. It was the messages hidden in the tasks given which soon the members needed to explain during the presentations before the program ended.
Overall, the members understood the tasks and the objectives for this program. Many advises from the seniors to the new members and it is hoped that every little things learnt from this program will bekept in the hearts of the members and the bonds between them remain strong until the end which will bring the club to success, Insya Allah.

Date: 9 August 2008
Day: Saturday
By: Pa’eja desu
Play-lists: Enjit-Enjit Semut, Besame Mucho, Lambada, Rindu Bayangan, Getaran Jiwa,

On August 9th 2008, IIUM Angklung Group performed for AIKOL Cultural Night which is the closing event for AIKOL Fest. As early as 7.45 pm, 30 members of Angklung Group gathered at KAED Auditorium and were prepared with their musical instruments as to give the best performance to the audience. The members were also excited and eager to perform for the event as there will be a performance by a very special guest.
While waiting for the VIPs, IAG presented 3 songs to the waiting audience, Enjit-Enjit Semut, Lambada and Besame Mucho. Though the performance was short, the members received a thunderous applause and cheers from the audience which consist of students from other universities.
The event began at around 8.30 pm with a speech from ????? of AIKOL. Among other performances was a play presented by Theatre Club, Marhaban recitation and special performance by a former rock star, Ramli Sarip. His poetic yet energetic performance created a tremendous and memorable event to the audience. Even though the members of IAG were a bit disappointed as they were asked to leave the hall early to be in position for the next performance, however, they were able to capture the memorable performance presented by Ramli Sarip.
The songs played by the members were Rindu Bayangan, Getaran Jiwa, Ketipang Payung and Tanah Pusaka. The IAG’s performance was accompanied by the IIUM Percussion Group and the rhythmic contra bass played by a member of IAG, thus perfecting the performance. The performance which was reasonably a success was a result of a week of tough training and pleasurable torture from Sis Fairuz and the IAG Mainboard. It was also a result of serious guidance from Pak Dadang.
In brief, it is hoped that the members continue to give commitment and support towards the club and keep on improving for the better. Thank you.
