15th May 2007, Tuesday-29 members of IAC had performed for International Conference of Islamic Economy Management at the top of Kuala Lumpur Tower. Some of the audiences were YB Tan Sri Sanusi Junid and IIUM Rector. Not forgetting IIUM Gamelan Group and Zapin team also joined the night's event.
Nothing much had happened for the night's show, except the songs that IAC group had to play were reduced form 10 songs into 5 songs because the group were given only 15 minutes to perform.
About the performance, IAC group played very well, especially for the new song, Rindu Bayangan. The audiences; almost of them were veterans and late adults were happy with the song. And also the international audiences were mesmerized with the sounds of bamboos and their feedback was very good.
All in all, despite of the disappointment of the numbers of songs that the group had played, at least the audiences enjoyed the performance, and that should give IAC team one good credit for their effort for the night's show.

report: Opening Ceremony of MASUM '07

Date: 3rd March 2007, Saturday
Venue: Main Hall CAC, IIUM
Time: +8.00 p.m
Playlists: Lenggang Kangkung and Wau Bulan
3rd March 2007- IAC team accompanying Gamelan group performed medley of Lenggang Kangkung and Wau Bulan for Opening Ceremony of MASUM, Majlis Sukan Antara Universiti Malaysia. IIUM is the host of the big event.
Conducted by Cikgu Ku Zahir, the night started by the sounds of percussion, and then Cak Doh Gong by Gamelan team. After that, Caklempong took place before Zapin team performed. Only after Zapin Angklung Team headed to the stage.
Probably that was the first time the team had 8 pages of music notes in front of them, so they had to make sure that it is well-prepared from page one until page 8. Plus, accompanying Gamelan for both songs was enjoyable, yet to catch up the speed was one challenge, but after plenty of trainings nights before that day, the team were able to play the songs well.
This is the last show for this semester. Since final examination is around the corner I would like to use this opportunity to wish you all the best and good luck to Kak Zakiah and Kak Zarith who will be leaving IIUM and Angklung Club this semester. Thank you for your commitment for this club and do not forget IAC team, ya!!

Nonetheless, as if the teams performing are as united as one, they cheered to each others' performances. They clapped hands, as if they are the audiences and thus gave one good sign that every team here support one another.
And for IAC, there is nothing much to say; some performances were good but still have plenty to improve. But credits go to every members who gave their commitment to come and play even though they were already busy with classes and assignments.
