Mass Gathering Sem 2, 12/13

Assalamualaikum. Welcome back to IIUM to start new semester for session 2012/2013. ;) Alhamdulillah, we held our mass gathering on the 2nd week of the semester at the training room. Most of the members came at that night. There are three agenda for this mass gath; Introduction of board members, Sharing Moments with team Bandung and group meeting.

During sharing moments, the participants shared their precious moments there and they brief about culture of Malaysia vs Indonesia,  the techniques on how to play and manage the angklung, training and patitur used at the Indonesia. They went to three different institutes which are Sekolah Tinggi Seni Indonesia (STSI), Sekolah Tinggi Bahasa Asing (STBA), and Universitas Islam Bandung (UNISBA). They went there from 15th-19th January 2013. Alhamdulillah it was a precious moment to be there and we hope that this programme can be continued after this.  

After almost one hour of sharing moments, all the angklung members sit together with their respective bureaus. All groups of bureaus were doing taaruf with the members. The head of each bureau explained the jobscopes to the sub-committees and they have discussed about group binding. After the group meeting, the mass gathering end at 11.00 pm.

Taaruf Week Show Sem 2, 2012/2013

Assalamualaikum lovely readers!

On 1st February 2013, we performed in the Taaruf Week cultural night Semester 2, 2012/2013. 20 Angklung members participated in this show. We started our training on 25th January 2013 and the first two days of training was quite hectic but the following days the training has been really effective. During traning session, we also do some other activities like group binding. Yeah, it's so fun!! We went to Wangsa Walk and half of us go to Manhattan. We played bowling and  had a lunch together. These activities have strengthen the ukhuwah among the members.

This show was held in Main Auditorium since the Cultural Activity Centre's  hall will be used for wedding on the next day. It was an exciting show because this time, the theme for this show is " Malay's Wedding ". On that night we performed two songs which are: Kopi Dangdut and Medley Ketipang. A bunch of thanks to IIUM Percussion Club for accompanying us for these songs. For the collabration with other clubs, we performed Symphony 40 medley Puteri Santubong. Smphony 40 is a fast song. Alhamdulillah, the performers managed to play it well :) Congratulations!

There are a lots of improvement during this show. The attendance and punctuality has improved. The best thing during this show is the performers did not use patitur and have a better showmanship. Keep up the good work guys! Last of all, thanks to the trainers; Bapak Dadang and Kak Jiha. Not to forget our adorable PIC, Sis Munirah Aziz.

Before I end this entry, lets enjoy some pictures here.











Till we meet again. Have a bless day!
