Borneo Jazz Preview 2013

The Borneo Jazz Festival Preview 2013 was held at Amphitheatre, Taylor Lakeside Campus on 7^th May and 8^th May 2013. This performance was organized by Taylor University and collaboration by Sarawak Tourism Board (STB). It was just a preview, an official concert was held on 10^th May and 11^th May 2013 and it is held at Miri, Sarawak. Borneo Jazz Festival was renamed from Miri International Jazz Festival. It was a multi-genre performance as they have dancer dance tradisional dance and live band to perform. Unfortunately, they canceled 7^th May 2013 show as the rain was too heavily. It is a pity as all the performers, sound and lighting system were well-prepare but they force to cancel it. The next day which was 8^th May 2013, they started the show earlier as they scared the weather was not really fine. The crowd of the show was not as many as last year; we think it was because of local political gathering at Kelana Jaya, it also caused a very terrible traffic jam on highway.

The Borneo Jazz Festival Preview was just amazing. Although it was a preview, it just liked an official music festival. I could not imagine how great it will be when in the official music festival which will hold on 10^th and 11^th May 2013 in Miri, Sarawak. The sound system, the lighting system were pretty nice and awesome especially those performers, they were so professional and skillful. Besides of the performers, the event crews were also did a very good job and they are Taylor’s student. It made me feel proud to be Taylor’s student.  This was a pity that they cancelled the first day show as it was raining quite heavily. We have been waiting almost 2 hours to watch the preview but end up they canceled it. Luckily, the second day of the show was running quite smoothly as it was also raining on that day. Every participant enjoyed of the show, I could see their satisfaction from their face. Of course, I was one of them and I was pretty enjoying the show. It was such a shame that there was a local political campaign was held at kelana jaya, and it influenced the crowd on that day.
