Ted the Twin….

In-Tune temporarily lost one of its members, Ted Atebe, after he flew out of the country for further studies. The entire group will surely miss him while he is very far away from us, but we believe we are one in spirit.

There was a going away party held for him at the Atebe residence in Westlands..and it was well attended with almost all of In-Tune being there, together with Drama Band members and other friends and family. Joseph and I missed out on the grub, but from what we so repetitively hear, it was fantastic. After the stuffings, there was a bonding session in which everyone had a word or two to say about Ted and the mark he had left on us.

The Drama Band group made it a less tearful affair with their occassional humor and wit and even though we were saying our goodbyes, it didn’t seem like we were actually seing off someone. But not just someone, seeing as such In-Tune is a brotherhood.

Ted will be missed by all, with his humor and dedication, it won’t be easy but we’ll manage. As for his ‘other half’, Craig, is still with us, as strong as ever. None of us can comprehend how it feels to be separated from your twin brother. In-Tune sang ‘Truth was Standing’ one last time with Ted and then the group AMO Junior gave us an item and finally Gifted.

Joseph, Tichy, George, Ted Okoth, Edwin, Jamo and myself then stayed behind for our last practice with Ted the Twin….and then it was time to leave. Ted, even where you are, keep the Torch of Christ burning, and remember that In-Tune is with you all the way…

In-Tune with the Petals

The sabbath had been rather chilly that day, but nonetheless, the sun was a bout to settle down on a superb day that had seen In-Tune have one of its most successfull pratcices EVER! It was therefore also a coincidence that most of the guys had dished out their best suits and ties, and were definitely clad to the nines. (I’m not saying that In-Tuners aren’t immaculately dressed on Saturdays now….they are indeed some of the best dressed guys in Church….okay thats a little biased) Moving on,
Chris, Joseph, Edwin and myself had left the rest of the guys socializing in Church and decided to make our way to town, as we were used to…little did we know of what was in store for us, and what an eventful evening that would be! Reaching the CBD( Central Business District), I decided to take what we call our ‘Little Pit Stop’ which is at the Bakery just next to the KCB Bank on Kenyatta Avenue.

The Profiler! Enter In-Tune

Name:Nyatichi Phillip
Age: 18 going on 19
Occupation: Cisco Certified Student
Voice: versatile Bass, Tenor 1 tenor 11
In-Tune: member
Hobbies: Godly ministry, singing, music, the wacky, funny and eciting things
Welcome to the wacky world of Tichi, as he is so fondly nicknamed within the In-Tuner circles. The baby of the group, and to the consternation of many, the most aggressive and outspoken, Phillip has shed of his earlier facade of a timid shell and metamorphosed into the limelight to become the gregarious fellow he now is.
If you want comedy central, you’ve come to the right place. Together with Chris, they pulled off an unforgettable outreach at Pangani and firmly established established themselves as the comedians within In-Tune. But deep within the recesses of this outwardly humurous individual lays a surprisingly intelligent brain! hehehe, Tichi is a bright guy, both by academic and conventional means and if there is a guy who loves hanging out at Church, it must be him.
He loves bringing out new concepts in the way we sing and as far as innovation is concerned, think outside the boxes dude! as he complains…The youngest in the group has a bright future if you ask me.

The Profiler! Enter In-Tune…

Name: Nyaundi Ronnie

Age: 20years

Occupation: student

Voice: versatile tenor11 and barritone

In-Tune: newest member

Hobbies: singing,Rugby(former player), football…sports basically

They say silence is a virtue…and with it lies hidden intelligence. Ronnie is arguably the most laid back guy in the group. Add that to the fact that he is the latest entrant into In-Tune but the speed at which he has ‘gone with the flow’ is amazing! One moment he wasn’t there and the next….voila!

Ronnie used to play rugby at his high school,I guess you can tell from the buffed up look of his photo…but after that, I have no idea where his rugger aspirations went. He is an ardent fan of Arsenal FC, come to think of it…all of In-Tune is Arsenal except for Edwin and George who was won over by someone else. Anyway, thats besides the point. Apart from Chris, this guy is the most punctual In-Tuner I know, and apart from George…he plays runners up again to reliability. Ronnie will pull through for you through thick and thin and his ‘freestyle’ nature doesn’t betray his acceptance or perception of anyone.

When it comes down to singing…its serious business! No time for humor and jokes and the job has to be done for Nyaundi…but if you distract him…well, lets just say its all downhill from there, because its hard for him to say no to you!
