The summer holidays are coming to a close, and we hope that all of you had as much fun as we did this summer holidays. Of course, part of the fun we had during the summer break was with NUSWS, and here is a quick recap of what NUSWS was up to in the past 3 months or so:

1. Megapalooza @ Gardens by the Bay

We were warmly invited to put up a short performance for the visitors of Gardens by the Bay as part of the event, Megapalooza. With the stunning Supertrees as our backdrop, we wow-ed the crowd with familiar tunes by Japanese girl group, AKB48, Michael Buble, and even Lady Gaga. As part of the outreach, we also introduced the audience to the various sections within the band, with an individual from each section showcasing the particular instrument.

Overall, it was a fun-filled night and we are definitely looking forward to putting up more of such performances!

2. TRIO Camp

Another major project we were involved in was TRIO camp, a joint music camp organized by NUS Symphony Orchestra, NUS Jazz Band and NUS Wind Symphony. It was our second time being a part of TRIO camp and we have to admit that it just keeps getting better! It was also a good chance for us to meet new freshmen who have the same passion for music as all of us in NUSWS. Over the 3D2N, camp participants got various opportunities in exposing themselves to the 3 different music groups (tutti, haha!). Freshmen also got a chance to meet our beloved conductors, Prof Ho and Mr Tan, in a combined session on day 2. No camp is complete without a finale, and in this case, we ended off with a hearty BBQ feast outside CFA Studios under the night sky.

TRIO Camp was definitely a success, and we do hope to see most (if not all) of you back here in NUSWS when school reopens!
