it has been quite a long time since i went to watch a chinese orchestra concert. i cant rmb when was the last time i paid to go and watch one. but defintely not recently until yesterday.
it was under the request of my ah di raymond to attend the co concert performed by tp students. since qiuyu and i were free yesterday, so we willingly paid $6 to watch it. haha and i think it was rather worth it cos i thought it was a well-executed performance afterall. i can really see the hard work and effort being put in and paid off by the whole orchrestra. i can say they have already reached professional standards, with all the music pieces being put off so well and greatly appreciated by all.
they even have images projected on the screen which changes to suit the different music pieces every now and then, serving as some kinda background and an aid to enhance the whole effect of the performance. watching the co concert just brought me back many good old memories when i was still a part of mjrco, having regular practices every wed and fri, and being able to participate in all sorts of concerts, be it for cny, sch anni, syf, or public performances like montage etc..
Thinking back, it really had been very fulfilling and soul-enhancing to be able to gain so many performing-on-stage experiences, and knowing how cooperation and coordination between all co members were of such high importance. a performance wouldnt be complete without everyone's contribution and hard work. every single one counts in an orchestra, doesnt mater if u are not playing the main melody or you are just an accompanist for that particular music piece. well it may be a pity that i didnt continue taking up CO as my cca in poly now, perhaps i just want to get myself a break from it, or maybe i just want to experience new things, or even becos my determination in learning an instrument is not strong enuf and all the reasons i mentioned in front were just plain excuses. haha.
i might not be a part of CO anymore, but i believe the interest in CO is still in me, i will still willingly pay to watch a CO performance, still enjoy myself thoroughly in a CO performance. or shld i say some kinda strong feeling for CO was already being built up in me unknowingly.
well that is something for me to find out as time goes by, who knows if i suddenly have the urge to take up yang qin or even other instruments and decided to be part of CO all over again? haha the future is unpredictable anyway.
for the time being, i would like to apologise to my beloved juniors cos i couldn't attend the montage concert!! arghhh i would love to go but 19 april clashes with the day of david tao's concert which i am going obviously!! i hate this kinda clashes in dates.. but i couldnt change anything.. so i could only give them mental support while i enjoy myself in another concert.. which is a much better concert? oops i am jus joking i mean much more expensive concert can?! haha i pay abt 10 times more than the price for montage concert to watch david tao's concert ok! haha and i am like so looking-forward to his concert which i believe will be so worth the price!!
so jiayou mjrco! i am sure u all can do it! at least i know i have confidence in mr mike chiang! LOL.
10 more days to sch reopen. =(
