Drama Acoustical Night

   On the 21^st of November 2015, Sakura College held a Drama Acoustical Night in conjunction with the college’s biggest event of the year, Metamour4sis. Drama Acoustical Night is an event where the residents of the different colleges in UNIMAS were given the chance to show off their acting and singing skills as well as compete with other colleges for the title of the best acting or singing act of the night. The colleges that took part were Sakura, Tunku Abdul Zaidi (TAZ), Allamanda, Cempaka and Bunga Raya. Each college also sent a representative to act as the panel of judges of the event. The representatives were Nur Fazila from Sakura college, Mohamad Hafizzudin from Tunku Abdul Zaidi (TAZ) college, Mohamad Shahril from Bunga Raya college, Mohamad Afifi from Allamanda college and  Abang Mohamad Ariff from Cempaka.

    The event began at 8.15 p.m. with drama performances. Most of the dramas performed revolved around the theme of love and friendship. The first to perform was the team from BRC, whose drama, entitled ‘Kasih Nur Suzuki’, was about two friends from different villages who fought over a girl, only to be revealed at the end of the story that the girl already had a partner of her own. TAZ College sent two teams for the drama performances. The first team performed a drama entitled ‘Jodoh dan Takdir’ which was about the funny love triangle between Puteri Santubong, Puteri Sejinjang and Putera Serapi. The second team’s drama, ‘Sehati Sejiwa’ was about the two friends, who would do anything for each other, had their friendship tested in the most unexpected ways.

    Sakura College’s team performed a drama entitled ‘Snow Black’, a parody of the famous fairy tale ‘Snow White’. The final drama performance was from Cempaka College’s team, which told the story of a married couple, whose happy relationship turned sour when the husband began to grow tired of the wife. Despite the sad plot, the drama was hilariously delivered which caused loud laughter from most of the audience. Allamanda College sent no representatives for the drama performances.

    The second part of the event consisted of acoustic performances. First up were the representatives from TAZ College, Kuzika, who performed ‘Pelesit Kota’. Their rock star attitude on stage gave an awesome start to the acoustic part of the event as it raised again the spark of interest of the crowd. Sakura College’s first representatives, who dubbed themselves as Reflection, performed a Paramore medley, with ‘Ignorance’ as its main highlight. The main singer impressed the audience with her amazing vocals and her ability to reach the high notes of the song. The college’s second representatives gave an impressive performance consisting of  Kelly Clarkson’s ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’, Megan Trainor’s ‘Lips are Moving’ and lastly, Wonder Girls’ ‘Nobody’, which earned a loud roar of approval from the audience.

    BRC’s first representatives gave it their all in their top-notch performance of Kembara’s ‘Gerhana dalam Jiwaku’, ‘Pelesit Kota’ and Awie’s ‘Ratuku’. Their second representative gave a soulful and passionate performance of Awie’s ‘Tragedi’. TAZ College’s team, Fantastika, performed an old favourite; Click 5’s ‘Jenny’, local band Bunkface’s ‘Through My Window’, One Direction’s current hit ‘Drag Me Down’ and Panic! At The Disco’s ‘Mona Lisa’. The last performance was from Allamanda College’s only representative team, with their own take on Chemical Romance’s ‘I Don’t Love You Like I Did Yesterday’, Taylor Swift’s ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ and Radja’s ‘Jujur’.

    The night came to a near close around 11 p.m. Souvenirs were given to the panel of judges as an appreciative gesture. With that, the Drama Acoustical Night came to an end.
