Music Camp.. Oh Yes!!!


Finally, the 1st Bintulu Music Camp is over. In fact, it was a great pleassure to be the organizer for the camp. Of course it was not a perfect one. But, at least, we did it. Bravo!!


Let me give you some reports on the camp. We had 83 campers all together, including those vocal workshop. And we had 5 tutors, i.e. Yap Ling, Grace Lee, Sook Peng, Bryan Leong and Joseph Hii. All together we have eaten 365 packs of rice (lunch for a year), buffet lunch for 240 people during the 3 1/2-day camp. Campers from Miri and KK had occupied 9 hotel rooms, while tutors occupied 3 rooms. In total, 44 nights of accommodation.

For the concert night, we have over 70 musicians performing and over 130 audience. The youngest musician was only 7 years old (Yap Qin) and the oldest was Josephine Ting, aged 50.
For media release, we were on Sing Chew once, Lian He twice, and See Hua Daily more than three times. Million thanks to all the reporters.

Campers had attended over 30 hours of lessons and practise. I think most campers had never done such practices before. A big applause to all the campers.

As for me, this is the first time i organised music camp, the first time i organised camp in Bintulu and the first time organising private camp in a church. Thanks to Eng Kwang Methodist Church, and Rev Ting Chu Yi.
