Upcoming trip to Stomp '11

There is no doubt about the fact that being an Eco Ranger is a lot of work, but more often than not, our hard work usually translates to a lot of fun, and if we're lucky, we might even get unexpected rewards in return. Participating in the recent Eco Music Fest was a good example. For around 2 to 3 weeks, our lives were a blur of band practices, skipping classes to carry out the aforementioned activity, taking short breaks, and then, practicing again. Not that any of us band members were complaining - practicing gave us golden opportunities to bond over lame jokes and off-pitch singing, after all. :)

I'm pleased to announce that our hard work paid off in the form of us emerging champions of the competition, allowing us to walk away with a digital camera and 15 thumbdrives. We were delighted, and overwhelmed with glee by our unexpected win and the prizes we received, so we thought that the rewards for our hard work ended there. Imagine our surprise when we were greeted by the news that in order to reward us for all the hard work we invested, the school was sending us on a trip to watch Stomp, a percussion group using everyday objects to produce music, live in action!

We couldn't believe our ears. All of a sudden, we were attending a concert, and it's not just any concert, it's the heavily publicised  STOMP '11 - LONDON'S WEST END SENSATION RETURNS TO KUALA LUMPUR! Our glees were barely suppressed enough for us to grasp more details regarding our upcoming trip to the Plenary Hall, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, where Stomp would be entertaining us. Details such as the fact that we were going for the December 3rd afternoon show, and that we're taking a bus from school, would have soared over our heads, had those details not been of paramount importance. There are going to be around 30 students going for the concert, including us Eco Band members, which was yet another good news. As they say, the more the merrier!

We are eagerly anticipating the 3rd of December, as that trip would most definitely be one of the highlights of our years as Eco Rangers.
