Oscar Deniro is one of the members of CS Marchingblek. For Nathan, CS Marchingblek
is a family. “CS Marchingblek is an organization or can be called family, that
changes junk materials into a luxurious music”. In UKSW, CS Marchingblek has a
fixed activity every year. They trained the freshmen to play music with junk
materials for the yearly carnival. Sometimes, they also played for some events
at campus like Dies Natalis and welcoming party. For Nathan, CS Marchingblek
had a good organization and good bond among all the members. They are very
friendly with the freshmen and very cohesive with other members. Nathan said
that, CS Marchingblek gave him a lot of things like, new family and new
experiences in playing music. “Every single activity that I have done in CS
Marchingblek is very unforgettable” Nathan said.
Nathan
feels so happy to join this activity. Nathan said that, from this activity he can
find more than just music experiences and new friends. He can find a new family
inside this organization. All the members of CS Marchingblek are so welcome
with the new member, and they also had a good connection with the former
members that have already graduated from UKSW. Everyone can join this activity;
no matter they could play a music instrument or not, no matter they knew about
music or not. The most important thing to join this organization is curiosity
to learn, because music is already living and growing inside you. Everyone can
be a member of this family, a member of CS Marchingblek.
