went to NYConcertBand Concert ytd..THE LAST CONCERT I SHALL GO FOR IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS! or else i bankrupt liao T-T
tio coerced to go by sylvia who suddenly had crewing duties -.-
took ICAS English..totally doing it half asleep and that teacher refuses to let me go wash my face -.-
after that met up with yingling and her friend (yining i think) and went to raffles city together to walk around and eat while waiting for yinkuan.
walk walk talk talk then we went to eat.. i tried pepper lunch for the first time lol!
scalded my pinky finger T-T
then we went for the concert..they went in and i got stuck out there while waiting for carissa to pass me my ticket @_@ almost starting le then she come..i 冒冷汗 sia!
The band was quite good la! since they are in the "limelight" (it's the name of the concert series as well lol), they must be quite zai right!
they started off with some piece of which name i forgotten -.-
i remembered it was quite fast-paced!
after that they played Joe Hisashi Works 2! Got my favorite Spirited Away! XD
they played it quite nicely, but a few cracks here and there laa
The next piece is ... i forgot again. but then again i rmb it wasn't that bad. oh no i suffer from shortterm memory loss! >.< strange i still rmb my history facts from last term @_@
oh wait its called sock hop tonight! xD
retro piece @_@ but it was quite funk haha
AFter that the percussion played their ensemble piece..tribal sound system,, upbeat!
then interval.
After that the alumni band played 演歌メドレ!!! enka medore (medley) for those not proficient in japanese! XD
it was quite nice! sounds better than how i play it anyhow..since i suck at my clarinet imo lol
another of my favorite pieces haha
then they played dancing megahits! more retro funk @_@ "my heart goes sha la la la la~~" LOL
after that was a upbeat "latin favorites" and then ended with a fun-filled "disneyland celebrations"! their minnie mouse hat was funny! XD
then their encore piece was UNDER THE DOUBLE EAGLE! LOL i thought that was like our band's marching trademark or smth.. but who cares! xD
short and sweet..concluded in under 2 hours! but then it's still damn late. and carissa had her father fetch her home la. so i have to go home myself T-T
then shuting said she wants to take the cab, even though i suggested mrt.
so in the end we walked a whole lot of distance from the esplanade to marina boulevard to some random business district to take a taxi. when we left it was 9.30. when we reached the taxi stand it was 10.20 LOL
yawn tired...
hopefully can get back my circular measure minitest and see how well i fare! =O
