I find it quite difficult to post up the double stroke in this post. So i have decided to use (RL) as a symbol to show that it plays with both hand at the same beat. Hope you CATCH the ball yea.. LOl. Enjoy figuring it out.

X= Pause for one beat
O= Hit your sticks

Reconsider for the namelist. **updated**

I'm back.

Over this few days, i have keep thinking about the name list. And i just feel that 20 people will be too much in this STOMP band. It is because if we can't manage to play well according to the perfect beat within this 2-3 weeks before the actual event, we will going to create NOICE rather than a nice music beat.

So i've decided to withdraw some people from the previous name list. I will reduce it to 13-14 people (Max), and just to clarify, this 13 people will involve in the "Stomp performance". And the others whose names are not in the performance list, you are allowed to join the city parade. But only limited people are allowed to follow. This is requested by Encik Ismail. Cheers.

But thinking of who to pull out is a very sickening action to do, hope all of you will understand. Seriously, i feel so uneasy laa.... paiseh.. we only have less than 3 weeks to practice. So i've decided to conclude it with a "fair and square" condition.

I believe that this requires:

Commitment ---(Can come for every single practice, if possible),
Perseverance ---(Seriously, this performance is very tiring and requires a lot of energy, i hope none of you will give up at the last second)
Willingness (---You know la ..... )

I have talked to those whose names are not in the latest list already. New lists. Appreciate you guys lots.

Guys
1) Johnson Woan
2) Wui Jie
3) Ivan Liew
4) Swee
5) Wee Liang
6) Chong Soon Eng
7) Ryan
8) Yun Qii
9) Kwan Yang
10) Melvin

Girls
1) Judieth Ting
2) Evelyn


Please don't stone me ok if i have removed your name. I do apologise. No swapping or replacing with "outsiders" are allowed , if one of you has decided to step out / quit, and the name lists will still be the same. No new members wil be added in.

-------------------------------------------
Just for a little update.

Melvin, Ah yieng and I went to search for the instruments that we will going to use. I bought some drumsticks. Seriously, i don't know where to find and buy those big tongs and tong sampah.... And thank God that melvins' aunty sells this "things" at 10th miles !!!!! gossh.... Anyway, we went there for a survey on Thursday. And this morning we went there again together with a rented truck and we bought a lot of stuffs. And after that we went to 7th miles to buy other necessary equipments. And tour tour tour.....

Some photos

We will use this Shun Wu Kung's sticks as our drumsticks, and the rests will use the actual drumsticks.



Some recycle tins and dustbins.



Seriously, those tongs are so smelly ( some tins are taken out from the place where they throw the rubbishs and wastes) and oily. Busying washing them.


Here you go !


Tiring but exciting ! My first time to in charge of this big event ( We are representing Swinburne !) . What a privilege. Hope we will see a strong teamwork among our people.



Remember:

First meeting on this MONDAY. 2pm-4pm. At Room 5.02 (might change) cas we need lcd.

Do post comments to make sure you are still alive. If cannot make it, do let me know, if not i will anggap that you kenak kidnapped.
