WHAT better way for Star-NiE to celebrate its 20th anniversary than to have a percussions group, coincidentally marking its 20th year, make a special appearance at its annual contest grand finals?
Hands Percussion (Hands), that was set up in 1997 has nurtured many students and has its roots in a Chinese drumming school society before going professional. For the contest, 23-year-old group member Yujiro Ohmori, who is of Japanese-Malaysian parentage, will be coaching six student volunteers from the crowd on drumming basics.
