WMS LEO Charity Concert 2012 - Share 4 Life On Vibrant Earth


Leo Charity Concert



On the 31st of March, the Leo Club of Wesley Methodist School organized a charity concert. The event was our club’s annual community service project and the aim of this concert was to raise public awareness about the environment as well as protecting and preserving wildlife. All the members arrived in school at 8 am to make final preparations for the concert on the day. A full rehearsal was even done to prepare for the concert that was going to be held tonight. The guests arrived at 6 pm and collected their tickets at the registration counter. The guests were allowed to enter the school at 6.30 pm and the event officially started at 7pm. The emcees for the event were Leo Andrea Tan and Leo Kathreena Korotuna.

For the opening act, a student of the school, Chloe Soh gave an amazing singing performance which really got the crowd going. Our ex student, Kheng Yew along with our current students, Eugene Yeo and Charmaine Yeo too gave us an intriguing singing performance.

 Tokens of appreciation were presented to our VIP guests who included Lions from our sponsoring Lion Club. Our members then presented an act about animal abuse, deforestation and pollution. We showed humans being mutated as earth has become completely polluted. The mutated humans then performed a dance called the Sad Dance to express their regret toward polluting the environment. Then, one human who seems to have not been mutated is shown leading the humans in correcting their ways, telling everyone it’s not too late to stop and make a change. The now non mutated humans then presented a dance called the Happy Dance to express their happiness towards saving the environment. A heart shape was formed from pieces of hearts by the Happy Dancers and the Sad Dancers at the end of the Happy Dance. We could tell that the crowd truly enjoyed the act. Afterwards, it was intermission and all the guests were invited down to the school canteen for some snacks and light refreshments.

At 8.45 pm, the guests returned to the school hall for the second half of our club’s charity concert. The second half of the charity concert was started off with a video presentation in conjunction with our club’s 10th year anniversary. It was a nostalgic moment for all the Leo members past and present as they look back at how it all started and how much the club has grown in the past 10 years. The guests were then treated to a band performance by our very own Leo members, Leo Tham Jia Vern, Leo Lau Jia Cherng, Leo Yap Woei Cong, Leo Yong Jing Ting, Leo Kelvin Yap and Leo Wilfred Cheah. They performed three popular songs, The Great Escape, Iridescent and Pumped Up Kicks. The guests enjoyed it and sang along as well.

 Afterwards, A.RON presented a beatbox and rapping performance which was truly welcomed by the crowd. Once, another one of our ex students, Kristen Chee gave a magnificent solo singing performance to wow the crowd. Then, two of the students from our school, Melisa Rahman and Hervena Kumar gave an amazing dance performance. We were all truly amazed at how well they could dance.

Our school band, BlackOut was then giving their turn to perform. They perform three songs, All Star, Knocking on Heaven’s Door and Song Two. The crowd sang along and you could feel the place jumping. The lead vocalist of the popular band, Wanted Symphony then performed a few songs. They couldn’t perform as a band as their drummer could not make it due to some unforeseen circumstances much to the disappointment of the crowd. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. For the finale, all the Leo members went up on stage and sang to the song We Are World. We managed to get the crowd to sing along with us and we truly concluded this event on a high.

Leo Charity Concert Finale


At 10.40 pm, the event officially ended. All the members stayed back to help clear up the hall and clean up the classroom they used as changing rooms. The members then went down to the canteen for some light refreshments and snacks. Everyone clearly tired out but it was great experience for them to organize such a big event.


The event was a success and we could see that guests truly enjoyed themselves. We managed to raise over RM 10000 which will be donated to charity. Although some problems did surface during the concert, we managed to solve the problem by keeping a cool head and using proper judgment. The members fulfilled their duties well and we could see all the members working together to make this event a success. I hope that the spirit shown by the members will continue in future club projects. We would also like to thank the Lions from our sponsoring Lions Club, the Lions Club of Ampang for attending and supporting us throughout this event.
