a force to reckon with
Cast off those shackles, people, here is a force to be reckoned with.
Remember the famopus "dustbin band" STOMP (http://www.stomponline.com/) who performed in Singapore in 1999? What makes STOMP so appealing is that the cast uses everyday objects in non-traditional ways to play music. STOMP takes the everyday sounds of pipes and brooms, lighters and garbage pail lids, and creates the extraordinary.
What's happening in Singapore? We're going to have our very own STOMP-inspired band, called the Strikeforce. The Strikeforce is a collective of performers from all walks of life that fuses Rhythm, Movement & Drumming into one exciting display of Raw-Power, Innovation & Energy. The core motivating factor is NOT Talent only but Commitment and Willingness to Learn. This band transforms plain dustbins into mini art forms cum boisterous music instruments. The strikeforce is all about 'community drumming', to take music to the streets, straight to the people.
The Strikeforce is made up of an interesting mix of different ages, personalities and occupations that range from teachers, Africans, engineers, designers, IT managers, salesmen, and students of all shapes and sizes. This group has ages ranging from 6 to 66 coming together for 'drum circles' in an Informal but highly Inclusive manner, which means whoever you are, JOIN IN! The Strikeforce started with an intention to educate the young, inspire the yuppies and enrich the elderly. We do not differentiate people and we break the stick-in-the-mud mindset that the Chinese do not have a sense of rhythm.
The Strikeforce is a core and integral part of the City Harvest Music Ministry. This elite group of musicians are constantly called upon to perform at various national and community events like the Chingay Parade. With heart thumping, earth shaking beats, The Strikeforce gave stunning performances each and every time, combining not only their instruments but also coordinated dance steps to give the audience an amazing show.
The Strikeforce.
A Force to reckon with.
