26 August 2005 - There was probably a sense of excitement, anticipation as well as worry for the participants as each who have not attended the camp before will be in their own world of imagination of what it will be like. If only they knew how much they will learn about the guitar and in the process thoroughly enjoy themselves knowing new friends, such anticipation and worry was pointless.

 

Nevertheless, bright and early they were waiting at Amada Hotel's parking lot in Petaling Jaya. When everyone was present the Committee boarded everyone onto the bus and we were on our way...

 

Arriving at Shahzan's Inn, Fraser's Hill. Oops our bus hit the hotel's awning. Peng Yang looking at the damage. Campers at the entrance of the hotel. Registration desk - Felicia & May Ling Briefing the campers - Ernest, Tong Sen & Simon (left to right in Yellow T-Shirts

There was an air of a festival around our concerts as there were 6 performers giving their best. These performers was performing for the first time here in our camp and they were ner...vous! There are not many performing opportunities in Malaysia especially for a specialist group like the Classical Guitar more so with the onslaught of commercial/popular music that does not need promotion!
