LUMC Chancel Choir Cantata 2012

The Lagro UMC Chancel Choir

In celebration of the Nativity, our Chancel Choir had a cantata last December 23, 2012. This year's cantata was less formal compared to the previous years. The music genre was more on pop and jazz. In previous cantatas, we only had piano accompaniment but this time, we had the LUMC Praise Band to handle the music. 

However, our expert guitarist Manong Rey could not join us because of provincial assignment from work. Anyway, we proceeded even without a lead guitar. We only had a keyboard, bass guitar and drums but it was worthwhile although it could had been a lot better if Manong Rey was around.

On drums: RR Rivera, on keyboard: Arnel Oroceo, and on bass guitar: Oyi Negre

I had a little problem though because of what it seemed like neuropathic pain on my arms and hands particularly on my right hand. After several minutes of playing the piano, my right hand would become numb. It would feel so thick that I could hardly feel the piano keys anymore particularly with the upbeat and fast songs.

Anyways, I really enjoyed playing with the band to accompany the choir. It was a very wonderful experience.

Right after the cantata, we had our Christmas party. Everybody had a good time singing and playing together although we finished a little late.
