Choir concert and reunion

Last Saturday, my church choir named Cavido, which I joined in 1988,
had a concert and a reunion to celebrate its 30th Anniversary. Wow!

What a wonderful celebration, especially
when it did not sing the church songs as its major genre, but voila!
Bee Gees collections. How Deep is Your Love, Words, I Started a Joke,
etc. What made the concert so amazing is:
1. The senior (above 40s) choir with a song
just given by Ivo.
2. The current choir (around 20s-30s), esp. the women,
wears clothes ala Sound of Music kids with, ehm, heavy make-ups.
3. And ... there came the young CHILDREN choir,
daughters and sons of the Cavido-ers. Indonesian children songs,
until Heal the World. They sang so naturally and beautifully.
4. An unforgettable event of awarding our Oma/ Tante Poel
(Pauline Fernandez), almost 30 years with Cavido, and
voila! She's already 87 years old, you know, and at the
earlier establishment of Cavido helped Sister Franceline,
whose interview via video was played, in the choir. Oma Poel
has been with us for almost 30 years as the choirmaster before
being replaced by Atok several years ago.
5. It was such a surprise to have learnt that our favourite guy,
Henni has been loyally accompanying us for 24 years something
since the age of a school boy. An organist! Uedan! Ha ha ...

Well, maybe my blog is getting you bored, but you know.
Not only friendship, but also the atmosphere of being a big, big family
was in the air. Everybody smiled, laughed and blushed as pictures,
slides and videos were shown in the light of the reunion.
Have you ever experienced such moment?

I am truly proud being one of the CAVIDO choir members!
Though I did not sing, and was not its active member anymore
since I took my further study in Bandung in 2005, several times
a year I dropped by in the St. John (Melawai road, South Jkt)
7.30 mass in the 3rd week, and sing a few songs I have once
learnt.

Viva Cavido! Keep up your spirit high and high!
