Bimus Gathering

Last Saturday, members of Bimus went to Anyer. Bimus stands for Binus International Musician Club. We had the gathering for two days. There were about 42 people who joined this gathering. The purpose of the gathering is to introduce the new members of Bimus so we could know each other.  

When we arrived there, all of the participants make a circle. Then each participant introduce his/her name. We had to remember all of the name. If we didn't remember one of their name, we would have a punishment. Well, this game make me remember all of the Bimus member. Luckily, no one got the punishment.

After this game finished, we had a workshop. The workshop was given by Rian and Nissa. They are from a popular group band, named Omelette. Rian played the guitar very skillfully. I was very surprised because Rian can play guitar very well. His skill is above other guitar player at the same age. Nissa also played bass very skillfully. Unfortunately, I don't play bass so I wasn't interested.

After Nissa and Rian had finished the workshop, we went to the beach. On the beach, we took some photographs. We also played with a ball. Then, our senior gave the new bimus members instructions. We were divided into 3 groups and we had to perform at least 1 song. Luckily, my group members could play music. We decided into play 'ekspresi' by Titi DJ. There were also performances from other groups and Bimus member.

The next day, while we were waiting for the breakfast, we had another games. The first game was to move a hat from your head without using anything. The next game was to move a ball using your foot, but you can't kick it. After playing the game, we went back to our villa to eat our breakfast. Before we went home, we had another workshop again. The workshop was about digital recording and midi. 

Well, the gathering was very fun. I've got some new friends, experience, and etc. Last but not least, this gathering also give me a lot of new knowledge about music.
