UKM 2012; Gamelan Festival

     September 2012 Trimester, a trimester with lots of events has come to its zenith. Gamelan Festival of UKM 2012 was succesfully held at the National University of Malaysia with UKM as its abbreviation, on the past November 10th 2012, an event that draw together six Gamelan Groups. They are Uniten Gamelan Group, UKM Gamelan Group, Adunan Gamelan Irama Melayu Group, Gemasutra Melayu Group, UPNM Gamelan Citra Nusantara, and last but not least is us, UTP Gamelan Group Sanggar Kirana.

     Srikandi, Susuk Angin amd Isang, three most challenging songs were chosen to be presented. With that, a week was spent doing preparation for the event, training physically and mentally since we will be performing for almost 20 minutes, continuously. With a saying, the more the merrier, several members who were in their internship period, came down joining us, performing as well as experiencing the excitement. Our performance were accompanied by UPAG with their beautifully choreographed dances for the first and third songs.

     Enjoying what we do, our soul, our passion.

     It really was a great performance. We did learnt something new from the other groups as well. Thumbs up to the Secretariat of the UKM 2012 Gamelan Festival. Not forgotten, to Our Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Student Affairs and Alumni,Tuan Haji Mohamed Noor Rosli Baharom, who were there that night giving us support, and also our beloved, Mr Ahmad Pg Abdullah who were aiding us from the start.

     And of course to EiG who were also there.

Of course this were not all who made their way to the event.

   Thank you for the great moment we had.
