KDU Beach Bash 2009

3 days ago was CAPS very first Beach Bash held at KDU. Finally it's on! Everyone was pretty excited and looking foward to it! Especially the performers and the organizers! Friday was THE DAY! Time for everyone to give what they've got and what they've been practicing! The concert started abit late. Kicked off around 8pm. Was looking foward for her to go but then she couldn't make it. The surprise had to be changed and altered. But it was still on. Our band started off with the opening. Did our intro and then followed with Check Yes Juliet. Started off great and the crowd was happening too. Abit quiet at first but then after the intro of Check Yes Juliet was played, it was time to PARTY! We slowed things down with our second song titled Home by Chris Daughtry and well not many people know that song but we could see that people enjoyed it too. We decided to bring the atmosphere back again with our remix version of Maroon 5. Did This Love/Won't Go Home Without You. Everyone loved it! It was awesome and that was us for the first half. The band stayed on and the following performers came up. First up was Fern. She did Complicated by Avril Lavigne. It was nice! Next was Ben's turn. He did Time After Time the rock version by Quiet Drive and to end the first half of singing performances was Rachel. She did the all so popular Love Story by Taylor Swift. That was it for the first half. Just right after the song has ended Jay our lead guitarist broke one of his guitar string and man we were worried. Thinking on how we can go on with the show with just 2 guitarist left and we wouldn't want to sit anyone out! Everyone has practiced so hard and gave it their all! We're not gonna let one stupid broken string ruin the performance! So, i decided to drive Jay to gurney to get the strings. Dropped Jay off at Gurney while i went round looking for parking. We were rushing against time and Gurney just had to had a terrible jam at that time! Gosh! Finally found a spot and went up to meet him. He was fixing the string but then he had no money to pay!!! DAMN! Took out my card and the sales personnel told me that they do not accept card unless you purchase RM50 and above! I was like die la! No money! Jay called his bro and they came all the way from KDU. While waiting for his brother, Jay tunned his guitar and made sure it was in perfect shape to go back up on stage! Jay's brother finally came and paid and we had 10mins left till our turn. Rushed back but then the TRAFFIC! BAD! But thank goodness Erica came up with a plan and our performance was then pushed to 30mins later. Headed back to college and waited for our turn. This time was Cindy's turn to start off, she sang That's What You Get by Paramore. Started off abit off but then managed to pull herself back during the chorus! Nervous mah! Can't blame her. After Cindy was followed up by myself. Did a song from The Script titled Man Who Can't Be Moved! Love that song! After me was Jenny doing Love Song by Sara Bareilles. Everyone loved her voice. Did a good job up there. Then came my turn again. Did a song titled Dare You To Move by Switchfoot. This time we had a special guess up with us. Jeremy Yeoh! He wanted to play badly but then was shy. We got him up and well he did a GREAT job! Credits to him! Good job dude! To end the performance was Maya. She did a song titled Long Train Running. Not too sure by who but it was an up tempo song. The performance ended well. The dancers and break dancers were good too! They sure did their thing! Hope the band did theirs too! For those who were there that night. Hope you enjoyed it! To her who wanted to go but couldn't make it, i hope the surprise made you smile! :) More to come! :) Guess that's it for now. Till then. Tchao!
