PEPS & Batteryheadz Showcase 2022 “Awakening”
The marching arts industry (specifically marching bands) has been heavily impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic within the country and all over the world. Batteryheadz Showcase 2022 aims to revitalize the marching arts scene, done in a small scale, to encourage more of such type of performances in Malaysia that encompasses school, university and organization projects with limited budget and resources. We hope that this showcase will provide a platform and inspiration for other marching arts organizations in Malaysia to sustain the love and passion for the activity.
The Awakening explores the story of developing bodies, raging emotions, and the love for the arts that lasts forever. The production follows a group of musicians as they grapple with the difficulties of a world striving in a post-pandemic era.
