ACJC Concert Band: MUSE - A night to remember

In the morning, woke up, studied trigonomotry and functions. Went swimming. At 5 met Krystelle to buy friend's birthday present, followed by dinner. After that, we went to Victoria Concert Hall to watch ACJC band concert. Though the emcee wasn't totally good and entertaining, and there are flaws in each of the songs played, but overall it was an enjoyable performance. I love the 'And the multitude with one voice spoke ~ by James L. Hosay', as well as the percussion ensemble. To my surprise, I saw Eunice - a MJ choir member in the first three months this year - performing as a percussionist. Didn't know she was from band. The band is overall good, though not at their best performance, as some of the melody, tunes, rhythm were able to surround me. Their student conductors too were talented and looked very experienced. The encore was the longest I had ever heard, but it was a blast end. Watching this concert has really brought back wonderful memories of performing as a band member just like any other band concert I had watched since the day I left BHSS. Hearing the sliding of the trombone slide revert me to the joy of making the interesting 'noise' from the trombone [Perhaps the only instrument able to do that :) ]. The sound of the band really did make me realise how much I missed band, how much I missed blowing into the mouthpiece of my trombone and produce sounds, music. After the concert, I was telling Krystelle, if I were to join band in MJ, would the self-reward and self-gratitude be better than in Choir. But well I'm happy to be a choir member, going through difficult times to pull through and emerge as a Gold choir for the first time participation in the SYF central judging. It was a total different experience. Well maybe conclusively, performing arts just rawk!
