Just came back from the mega concert.. well, cant say dat it's a v good concert lar..juz slightly above average.. and hl and xy felt cheated becos they tink the concert wasnt dat good afterall.. lolz.. but we tink the guo lao part realli makes our tics worth it.. The concert wasnt dat great afterall cos we can see dat alot of ppl are hun-ing (as in ppl anyhow playing), and it's damn obvious lor.. cos there are abt 2000 ppl playing down there.. so it's v easy to hun4, there are hundreds of hu( gaohu, erhu, zhonghu) , 40 to 50 liuqins( approximately), 5 sets of timpani, so u can imagine the grandness of the concert.. so we were like trying to spot the number of mistakes they have made.. lolz.. then the more we spot the more cheated we felt.. 1) the hu ppl are hun-ing.. cos their gong fa all diff directions one.. starting i tot maybe they haf diff sheng1 bu4.. if even diff sheng bu shld oso be one whole gp of ppl diff gong fa.. but then wad we saw was a few individuals diff gong fa, so can conclude dat they are hun-ing.. 2) got one song, the tan bo one.. got one part the ppl came in bu4 qi2.. it's damn obvious.. and not only is tis song lor, got some songs also.. 3) some perc ppl dun haf sense of rythmn.. can see the way they came in.. diff timing one.. and juz now we saw one mu qin gal (xylophone) hun-ing all the way thru.. cos she sway sway standing infront of a super pro mu qin guy.. so the contrast is there.. one played v well.. and she didnt realli hit the note lor, she juz use her sticks to touch the xylophone plates only.. then her actions v small, great contrast to the guy behind her whose actions are super big.. 4) worse is the tan bo yue.. i can hardly hear wad they were playing.. and there are actually alot of tan bo yue ppl.. but they cannot stand out.. hl felt dat it's redundant to haf the tby cos we could hardly hear them at all.. so disappointing.. 5) the whole concert lacks coordination.. got several parts cum in bu4 qi2.. but cant blame them lar cos the conductor standing at the podium looks so tiny.. can hardly see wad's they are conducting.. 6) yin1 zhun3.. erm tink got some part they bu zhun, when starting they are tuning i tink, when sheng give the a.. but maybe i hear wrongly lar cos im quite tone-deaf one.. lolz.. All the songs they played are v singapore.. combinations of count on me, s'pore, we are s'pore, rasa sayang blah blah.. and some adapted huayue pieces.. the thing made me most sian diao was they asked us to shout majulah singapura or wadever it was.. tink the piece i like most is the one wif perc.. the song is juz trying to depict the 4 diff races in singapore lar.. but i like dat the most cos it's the most hiong, most energetic ( though nt all players are), most shiok piece, can realli feel the impact.. and guo lao shi rocks =D then we were juz sitting right behind the perc, so can see him v clearly.. wahaha.. but i hate the one dat has integrated electronic sounds into the song.. sux.. so nan ting.. but becos the song only haf the sco ppl playing, so still quite alright, but sounds v techno to me and i dun like it at all.. Spot quite a no. of the sco ppl, i spot peng lao, lin lao, yujia blah blah admist the sea of reds..but damn i didnt spot my ou xiang.. wad the hell.. i came to tis concert harbouring the hope of looking at my ou xiang.. and damn cant spot him cos i was facing the backs of the players, how to spot... i dont even noe wad instru he plays..i tot is gao yin sheng but xy told me is dizi.. sian diao.. haiz.. and xy tot my ou xiang is guo lao shi.. but he's my new found ou xiang lar..lolz..nvm.. if got fate one day will surely find him one.. The concert took a long time to start becos they were giving out tokens of appreciation to all the participating organisations and schs..and i noticed nan hua is mentioned in the "special thanks" column..dunoe y oso, maybe becos dat dae guo lao shi took some drums frm nhco.. so we waited v long..sian.. and then they called lee hsien loong to start the concert..so damn funni, he used the conductor baton to wave..then dat's tis huge wave of white light spreading across the centre stage.. haha.. so harrypotter.. as if he's using a wand to cast the patronum charm..lolz.. but actually is guo lao shi giving him instructions at the other end of the stage lar... Yea so overall the concert was soso lar.. nt dat bad lar.. juz personally feel dat they are putting up a show only.. to show dat alot of ppl can play huayue.. tis concert can only see but nt hear.. if wanna hear a good concert one haf to go to those professional co concerts.. mainly becos the proportion is far too out liao.. yah lar the grandness is there but the quality of the music is nt there..so damn noisy and so hard to coordinate.. i mean a normal orchestra wif 80 ppl alreadi so hard to coordinate liao, nt to say 2000 ppl in tis mega concert.. so confirm produce alot of za2 yin1 and alot of ppl happily hun-ing down there..somemore the dist apart so great.. the sound haf to travel longer dist then nt nice liao.. erm but i still dun mind going tonite lar.. but it will be much more greater if i can get to perform.. haiz.. when the players walk in right, i haf the sudden urge to run down to the stage and play wif them.. haiz.. i am so jealous!!! |
