Sinfonia 2009...
the event that we practised and worked hard for it...
the event that we are looking forward to...
finally it's over....
Well...
today, we meet up at school at 9.45 and take the bus to the Esplanade...
then we reached the Esplanade back stage. Before we enter the Esplanade, we have to scan our security pass which costs $50 if we lost it. After that, we are brought to our respective rooms according to sections. When we reached there, we saw many viola and violin 3 players were already there. We are told not to play our instrument. According to the band president, we should conserve our potential energy so that it can be changed to kinetic energy during our performance. So, we sit in the room and wait for our lunch. The lunch provided is quite nice... after that, we went for a rehearsal for strings. Then, we have a full dress rehearsal at about 4pm... after the rehearsal, we give a present to our string conductor, Mr Luo Biao. By then, dinner is ready. The dinner is also quite nice except that the rice is hard like rock. But, we are also given a mango pudding as dessert.
The performance starts at 7.30pm. Then we play the first song and the other 2 string songs. We have a rest after that. When we are going back to our resting room, Andrew said that he was nervous. So, Joshua ask him to take some chocolate. In the end, almost everyone in the room take chocolate even they are not nervous. While we are waiting for our turn to perform, we are entertained by "The Retarded 2" from cello -- Jolinna and Adele. many photos are taken... But it's not with me now... so will upload later when i got it.
After the performance, we take group photos and then rushed to the lobby to meet up with wei hock and Aik Khuan. When we reach there, Ms Katherine Soo from SEG saw us and congratulate us. Then we meet with Zach's relative and we have supper together.
Actually today is quite tiring lerr... still have CP e-quiz tomorrow... But it's worth it! The first time i perform on stage... the first time i enter the concert hall of Esplanade..... and many more the first time... A good experience and a nice memory...
