The many days of rehearsals... all culminated to this very evening.
I guess it's really different when you actually know some of the people performing on stage? Haha... As much as it was an evening of music appreciation, it was heartening to see some familiar faces in the high school band in the various sections... way to go people (if you guys ever drop by)! :)
The party popper popping and the blowing of bubbles gimmicks in the "Disney at the Movies" piece were pretty effective... 'cept that some strands of the confetti landed on Junjie's right hand which was doing most of the conducting... Heh heh.
Was great on the whole - was trying to visualise the Jericho scene as the music was playing... the march, the trumpets blowing, the shouts, the collapse of the walls... Selections from "Grease" was great! So was the encore piece which consisted of many one liners from various pieces! :)
And TMS hasn't seen an outing with such an attendance in quite a while... all the regulars were there... and Starfruits did a full turnout! :P
I know most of them, if not some, don't exactly appreciate band / concert / symphony music... guess it really meant something for the whole lot of them to want to attend.
Personally? Had the same feeling I had when I first saw Jan acting on stage some years ago... and him, Peter and Amos dancing at Sonic Festival and subsequently Velocity... one that brings a smile on the face. :)
Oh... I just saw Him smile... too. :)
And eh guys... really hope some of you can start posting some stuff here... if not it'll just be a copy of my own site. Hahaha...
