Quick update!

And in a blink of an eye, the year is almost coming to an end.

What a year it's been! From our small but fun Orientation, to one of the hottest activities in JB - Battle of the Bands, to our warmly received Singing Competition and Art Competition, and finally our last activity, our 9th Birthday Party.

Overall, I think everyone who attended the event would surely agree that it was well worth the experience. Hope to see the same faces, and more new ones, at our 10th Birthday Party next year, where we'll celebrate one decade of Music Club!

Update!

Hey readers,

Time really flies huh. In a blink of an eye we have reached August and approaching the end of the year, but that doesn't mean anything for Music Club SSI because we're always, always on the move towards better things. To infinity, and beyond!

From Battle of the Bands till now, we didn't just bask in success and take a break - instead we used it to push ourselves further and have since held another activity:

Singing Competition

Date: 24th July and 31st July 2010

For the first round on 24th July we could see that there was a warm response from students, with 8 contestants/groups participating. The finals were held on the 31st, with 4 finalists fighting with their voices to be crowned winners of this competition. The finalists were: Suhada, Aryanna Yuzni, Farhan, and a group consisting of Kuan Hong Yap, Long Li Jia and Ng Jia Yi. After much deliberation by our line of judges which consisted of Cikgu Razi, Puan Chong, , Vice President of SSI MC Chow Shu Ling, and Creative Director of SSI MC Chan Eak-Kuan, the winners were announced:


Champion             : Suhada
1st Runner-Up(s) : Kuan Hong Yap, Long Li Jia, Ng Jia Yi
2nd Runner-Up    : Farhan

So on behalf of SSI MC, I'd like to give my warmest congratulations to the winners and deepest gratitude to all participants, students, and teachers who supported this activity! Hope to see you all again next year!

_______________________________________________________

JOHOR BARU: Five-man rock band One Chapter topped 12 other bands to emerge champion of Battle of the Bands competition.

The band, which walked away with a trophy and RM300 in the event organised by SMK Sultan Ismail (SSI) Music Club, where they performed cover-versions of ‘Plug in baby’ (originally by Muse) and ‘Revolusi’ (originally by Bunkface).

Frontman Amirul Asyraf Abd Aziz, 17, said that it was the first time One Chapter had competed in a battle of the bands showcase.

“To win a competition the first time competing is unbelievable. We are completely speechless and thrilled,” he said, adding that the band would take part in more competitions and work on more original songs in future.

The best: Five-man rock band One Chapter clinched the first place in the Battle of the Bands

A crowd favourite, One Chapter also won the ‘best band support award’ thanks to their bevy of cheering, banner-waving fans.

Another instant sensation at the battle of the bands was 11-year-old Rainnie Ong, a female drummer from a band called Music Soul.

“I feel lucky to have had the chance to perform for a crowd considering I have only played the drums for six months. I think I did alright,” said the shy girl from SJCK Pei Hwa.

Undoubtz, the winner of the best original song, were overjoyed when they won the award for their original song titled ‘Blue Sky’.

The third place winning band Cyber5’s Nur Sabrina Azman, 17, said that her band had done their best during their performance of Lady Gaga’s hit ‘Bad Romance’.

“We are a young band, only two-months-old, and this is our first competition together,” said the bubbly lead singer, adding that her brother and bandmate Azizurrahman Adli, 16, was her greatest source of support.

SSI Music club teacher-adviser Chong Lee Cheng, 52, said that this was the third time the Battle of the Bands was being held and it took about six months to organise.

“I am very proud of my students for the hard work they put in and the excellent results they achieved,” she said.

SSI senior assistant in charge of co-curricular affairs Rosli Bahrom, 54, said through the focus on the arts, the school hoped to produce students who were accomplished in not only academics but also co-curricular activities.

Competition judge and RTM Johor Baru combo drummer Hairul Hafizi Hasnan, said that most of the bands did well but they could get better with more practice.

“It’s a great idea to have this type of competition for students to express their creativity and talent,” he said.

The audience were also entertained by performances from dance team the Dancologists, Star Singing Competition finalist Sarah Wong, 15-year-old beatbox sensation Jacky Tan and rock band Black Lace during the competition.
