Well of Illusions!

Sunday, January 25, 2009

Today was a damn tiring day.

Woke up in the noon.

Slack at home for a while.

Started preparing the instruments & sticks.

Prepared & went off.

Bus-ed to Tampines Changkat Community Center ( TCCC ).

Reached Tampines interchange & happen to meet Weihong there.

So, we bused to TCCC together.

Practiced with Deli they all in the begining. ( Artsphere Chamber Orchestra )

After a while of practice, Deli they all went off.

Left with the Symphonic Percussion.

We had our full run practice.

Left for dinner together around 7pm.

Dined together & have to get all the instruments ready for Songhua to send over.

We got all the instruments down on time.

While waiting we saw a cat.

Will post the picture.

Benjamin says that the cat has been at TCCC all along.

So, we name it TCCC cat.

In short, TCCCC.

Played with the cat while waiting for Songhua.

Songhua came & we loaded the instruments into his van.

Can u imagine, a small size van having to load a instruments this much?!!?!

we loaded this :
3 花盆大鼓

2 排鼓

2 小堂鼓

1 小钢片琴

1 suspended cymbals

1 woodblock

Had our sound check done after reaching.

Performanced at 9.30pm.

Had an interval for us to rest after the third song.
Rested for around 10 minutes before going for the performance again.

I was so tired that i drop the 马锣.

But I reacted fast.

By the time people look over I had already picked up & continue.

Overall performance was not bad, but the place is not good.

We played these songs :

1. 喜庆锣鼓

2. 老虎磨牙

3. 锦鸡出山

4. 冲天炮

5. Lion

6. 龙腾虎跃

Ended around 10 plus.

Move the instruments to the loading bay, help to load & train-ed home.

TCCCC & Benjamin.
