A "Knock" To Remember Ended in Success!

I would like to apologize for the very late post after A "Knock" To Remember.

Its been two weeks or more since we had our finale in The Apartment Downtown, KLCC. We, The Knockers are very much pleased with the outcome of our series of events as it eventually lead us reach our targeted objective, raising Rm 10, 000 for Shelter: Home For Children.

Our finale, A "Knock" To Remember was a memorable night as we had up to almost 200 participants, dressed up in formal attire and attended the cocktail styled party. From Taylors College Petaling Jaya, our project advisor, Mr Sri Kumar and lecturer Mr Phua Yeong Tsann attended the finale as well. Shelter Home sent five representative to attend the event, they are Mr James Nayagam, Ms Elaine Wong, Mr Anderson, Mr Evan, and Mr Antony Arul. The mebers of the media that attended our event includes, Time Out KL, Star R.A.G.E, Remaja Tv3, Joyce Wong or better known as Kinky Blue Fairy, and also Shaz from Xfresh.

On that night, the guest starts to fill up the place from 7pm onwards. By 8pm, The Apartment Downtown, KLCC was rather filled up already. Our MC for the night, Roshan from Mix Fm started the event. As promised, Taylors College very own duo, Diche & Ashleigh performed a acoustic song to begin the night. Followed by Project Knock's project manager's speech. After that, Shelter Home's Mr. Andreson and executive director of Shelter, Mr James Nayagam gave their share of speech. Our launch gambit then begins, using a mock cheque as sign that we achieved our obejective.

A audio visual is then shown to the guest. The slide show consist of the series of events organized by the Knockers and also the effort put in to raise awareness for Shelter Home. Moving on, it was performance by the Snow Symphony. Singer/Guitarist Nick Davis requested the audience to particiapate in his performance by singing along, which they did! It felt like a rock concert for a while there.

9.00pm, our first lucky draw begins. Followed by an auction session. The auction items were pictures drawn by kids from Shelter Home. Karen Belarek then hits the stage and performed her very own song! Her angelic voice brought everyone on cloud nine. Moving on it was a funky musical performance by Russel Curtis. Another lucky draw and auction session then begun.

By 9.30pm, most of the guest were done with dinner. They then witnessed a highly energetic performance by a dance team, The Mustang Crew. Their dance moves leaves everyone speechless and motionless as it was smooth and unpredictable. They were then asked to stay on stage to play dancing game with the audience. A few guest were invited on stage to participate, among them are project manager, Pradeep Chandrasekaran and project advisor, Mr Sri Kumar. Their outgoing and interesting dance moves cracked everyone up, sounds of laughter were heard everywhere.

The last two performance were by Vinodh Menon who a performed a cover of Elton John's Your Song and one of his band's (Mystery Of The Glass) original song. Ray Cheong and Ash then ended the night with 3 of their original tracks. Ray and Ash were nicknamed by our MC, Roshan.. The AshRay.

Approximately 11pm, the guest starts to leave. The Knockers hugged each other and shed a few tears of joy. The knocking night then comes to an end.

A "KNOCK" To Remember's List of Performers

Diche and Ashleigh

The Snow Symphony
The Snow Symphony is a duo formed by singer-songwriter Nick Davis and violinist Savy Ho. Their collaboration began early April this year. Their songs consist of hard guitar strumming and melancholic violin lines. They are now in the early stages of recording; due to be released at the end of 2008.

Karen Belarek
Karen has always been into music for as long as she can remember. She comes from a big family that are music enthusiasts and would have to constantly fight for the mic. Her interest for performing has built up over the years; overcoming stage fright. Her genres are indie and soul, and she adores Jason Mraz and his music. Her parents, family, boyfriend, and friends are her inspiration because 'everyone has a story'.

Russell Curtis
Russell Curtis plays funk, soul, and old school R&B. He currently has 3 singles out and is still working on a full album. He created the Russell Curtis Concept which is basically performances that include impromtu jamming. You can catch him and his band at Ali Yaa in Damansara every Friday and Saturday, from 10pm onwards.

Mustang Crew
Musang Crew is a well known dance crew is the local college dance circuit. For those of you who don't know, they came in first place at Dance Quake '08, another Taylors College project. They incorporate animation and skits into their dance routines.

Vinodh Menon
Vinodh Menon is the lead singer of rock band, Mystery Of The Glass. Playing alongside with him are his band's guitarists; also Knockers, Nick and Pradeep. He will be performing a cover song and also Mystery Of The Glass' original song, entitled "Things Will Be Ok".

Ray Cheong and Ash
Ray and Ash play a fusion of various styles; funk, blues, rock, and folk music. One of their main influence is John Mayer. To them, John Mayer is one of the most respectable musician of this generation and the maturity and talent that he exudes really inspires them. If there ever came a time where they could be an opening act for a musician, it would have to be John Mayer. They would rather not join any competitions because their music is their passion. It's not about competing with others. They just love entertaining their audience even in their own living room!

All the performers were kind enough to take time off from their work and daily life to come perform at our charity event.

Their charitable efforts are very much appreciated by the KNOCKERs!
