Symphonie II, a brilliant success
Its finally over.
I guess the 3+ months of practice have paid off.
Now, i have officially performed at 4 concerts, haha.
Alright, now from the beginning.
Woke up at 6.45am today, did all the usual stuff and left for Sembawang CC. My parents fetched us (including Joshua and Alif) there.
There, we brought all the instruments to the lorry waiting outside. Around 8.30am, we boarded the bus to Victoria Concert Hall. RPWS and PHSSB were already there when we arrived. We brought up everything from the lorry up to the hall and watched PHSSB rehearse. Next was RPWS, SWO, and then our turn.
The rehearsal at 12.50pm. We got changed and went to eat our lunch of chicken rice. So we hung around waiting for the other bands to finish playing their songs. After SWO's Symphonic Variants, we went back to get ready.
At last, it was our turn the perform. It was great! And the soloists were brilliant. After the afternoon concert, SWO had their rehearsal before the evening performance. After that, we went through La Passio De Christ. Free time until 6.50. Again, we went to eat and then hang around.
At 7pm,I went down out of boredom since SSW had free time until the intermission. Happened to see Jeremy Chan and Melvin and brought them up. Later on, Aaron, Gladys, Kenneth, Si Yuan, Yi Huan, Darian, and Shirly came. Too bad they were late, so they missed Concerto for Flute in D. Sat down with them until Symphonic Variants.
And then, La Passio De Christ. The feeling was damn great la, especially at the end. After that, we had a special Piano and Flute duet by Shirley and Kai Yi respectively. After that was the encore, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer. It was totally unexpected la, i didn't even know we had an encore piece. So had to share scores with Kenneth and Sean. I played only the first page cause it was too hard to see from so far away.
After everything, we packed up and brought the instruments back to the lorry. Later, we went to eat with the all the people whom all the people mentioned above whom i met just before the evening concert expect Jeremy Chan. So we took the underpass from the MRT station was walked to Lau Pa Sat. At 11.40, we took the train back. We managed to get to the last train heading for Punggol just in time.
Well, thanks to everyone who came to support us yesterday.
Cya!
