Besides that, this gathering is aimed at giving a brief view about Percussion Club,\u009d said Ali Hidayati Mohamad, the new president of Percussion Club.<\/p>\n<p>He said through this gathering, new members would be able to get to know the board of directors who are leading the activities of the club.<\/p>\n<p>The first slot was a short reminder by Muaz who spoke on the importance of honesty when joining a society or a club as members because they should not join the club for the sake of seeking popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Ali Hidayati hoped that each member would give their full support and commitment to attend every training session as well as to enjoy themselves while performing the shows.<\/p>\n<p>New members were recruited through audition held on 18 February. Out of 25 who attended the audition, only 16 have been selected. And this has brought a total of 50 members officially registered with Percussion Club.<\/p>\n<p>\u0153I felt very honoured to be in this awesome club. This club has given\u00c2\u00a0me the best platform to enhance my skills in playing percussion with the guidance of a trainer and senior members. I really fall in love with the atmosphere and the feeling of togetherness in this club, \u0153 said Wan Akram Khubaib Wan Jaffree, a law student who will be graduating at the end of this semester. He is one of the oldest members of this club.<\/p>\n<p>The event was closed by a funky performance of percussion repertoire by senior members of the club as others were enjoying their dinner together. The event ended around 10:15 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Those who want to know more about Percussion Club can like and follow their fanpage under the name IIUM Percussion Club.***<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_59755\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59755\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_3363.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-59755 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/news.iium.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_3363.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3363\" width=\"960\" height=\"1280\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-59755\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo caption: President of Percussion Club, Ali Hidayati talks about his hope that he can give his best for the betterment and development of this club under his tenure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo caption: All members of Percussion Club are taking pictures together with some of their percussion equipments.
