so nice of him! so dat nite, me n cm went lo.. they were mostly very good.. the solo pieces were all fantastic too! 1st time watching a harmonica concert and it is really pleasantly surprisingly enjoyable! all except for one girl who was hitting the tamborine and shaker.. she was not following the whole orchestra throughout the concert!! she didn't even keep to the basic beat.. of cuz i'm not a music expert myself. if i were performing i cant say i would not make mistake. but i feel that she shd have tried harder! it was especially obvious when they were playing the song "Under the sea" from Little Mermaid.. the shaker's supposed to give that relaxed feeling.. like u r really at the seaside.. but she was totally off-beat!! the beat was just the most basic beat of "one-two-three-four".. know wad i mean? but she was totally in her own world, shaking her own beat.. throughout the whole song!!! really drag the whole orchestra down. cuz the rest were playing very hard and they sounded great! she spoilt the whole song, the whole concert and my whole evening!! !#$%!! either they need to find someone who is more serious or she really need to think abt wad she had done.. i feel.. i can see the orchestra was putting in a lot of effort. she shd respect them! even tho juz playing the tambourine and the shakers may seem like just an unimportant minor task, but it matters a lot to the songs! if played well, the song will become more lively.. but now not onli does it spoils the song, she also confused her own team members.. the one hitting the drum was confused by her beat.. or her off-beat.. that he had to pause several times to regain the proper rhythm.. if she makes mistakes in between the songs, i'm sure it will be fine.. no one will notice.. but she was off through the whole0 concert... realli got nthg to say..

but if i ignore wad she had done, the concert was really great.. the guest performer Mr Yasuo Watani (if i'm not wrong) may be quite old, but certainly no lacking in his energy n techniques when he blows the harmonica... really impressive performance.. i think the ticket price is charged too low, becuz he is really dat good. he shd be in esplanade, having his own concert n selling tix for $100++.. yep dats how good he is!! my new idol!!

den our sch's kids also put up a perf.. not bad la.. they played very well.. but their instruments sure lose out when compared to nus one.. haha..


then today went to PAYCO's concert at esplanade. it was another wonderful concert.. 1st few songs were quite western, but very very nice.. those by Ky were fantastic!! veri nice!! so proud to be from the same jc n alumni as him! all the songs were very nice.. some of the songs were quite contemporary.. or it sounds so to me la.. but they manage to play it very naturally.. very beautiful.. realli had a great concert..
