Dear All,
sorry for not updating my blog recently due to the preparation for my school Band concert. Yesterday was the concert for North Vista Symphonic Band (NVSB), together with North Vista String Ensemble (NVSE) and North Vista Alumni Band (NVAB).
We have come so far to perform in the Victoria Concert Hall (VCH). This was our 2nd time that we come back to VCH since 2004. You could probably say a homecoming concert.
It was really months of hardwork for all the performers to come to this far. To be frank, this is my 2nd Vista Musica that I felt so much pressure and stress. Not only I'm a player, I'm also have to be in-charge of the logistics aspect of the concert. It was really massive. Even though it was really tired, I have learnt lots of valuable experience from all parts.
Before that, I was in school around 7.30 am before going for breakfast for my brother, Cher Hui. After that, I started to check what were the stuffs the band need for that night concert. The school rehearsal started at 08.3oam. I need to run two places today from AVA to LT to check whether everything was on schedule. Everybody was going through their stuffs and by 11am, the buses and lorry arrived, we brought all the instruments and logistics up and we were off to VCH for our final rehearsal at 1pm.
When we reached VCH, the banner was already installed up, so efficient. Then we started the rehearsal proper. We went through the whole concert to see how it was..... During the rehearsal, I was super stressed with the chairs arrangement. It went horribly wrong during the actual rehearsal at the combined Band position. We got everything correct in school but it was not turned well at VCH. I nearly broke down. So Ee Ching came in to give a hand, lucky we managed to deal with it but in my heart, I'm still worry.
After the rehearsal, we all got ready for the big day at 5pm. I went out to the tix counter to see how they do and went back to change. The moment of true was here. The concert started sharp at 5pm. First up, the Main Band started the ball rolling. The songs they played were St Peterburg March, Flight of Valor, Asian Rhasphoy...... after that a 20 mins interval, the String Ensemble was next, this was their first time playing in a public performance. Next, the Percussion Ensemble playing two songs. The storm was quite & interesting item from them. The moment for me to perform was here. The Alumni Band performed three pieces: Evergreen '70, I only care for u and Disco Party III. It was really good as I could feel that everyone of us were doing our best. The audience were really sporting and I felt that applause was really good. Just want to say a big thank you to my friends who have come and support me and the Band. I really appreciated it.
After the whole concert, we packed up and went back to school.
Once I got the I will post it in my facebook, will put a link in my blog when I do it.
