Back from the Adventures

Today finally marks the end of a 2-week long stint. Both concerts were so different...Play! was great fun and the FF was quite an unusual orchestra concert. I totally enjoyed doing Play! Hopefully we can do an anime one next yr!

That's us below at the Play! concert. (That was the matinee show. Audience was really dead and unhappening.) Photo: Courtesy of Jason (cheek's bro)


The Bassoons!!! Look at that Contra...My fingers are too short to play a contra comfortably. Any finger extension devices?





Kawaii Neh! ;)



Rehearsing and performing for FF kind of allowed me to experience what's it like to be a professional orchestral musician. Scary. Especially if you don't understand the conductor's style of conducting. Which is quite common...since we all have had different conductors leading us from time to time. And they all have their own quirkiness. But having worked with this C before, it was easier for me. We all know his "pattern" very well liao.

1. Belt up


2. Put on your crash helmet


3. Get ready for a ride on the Viking - Can never tell where you're going to crash into later.

Somehow, captain hook (he's from Peter Pan but nevermind lah) always manages to steer us up to shore alive but maybe not kicking...

I thought it was the graveyard that we were playing to. Audience was so DEAD. I think the loudest applause we got was for Across the Stars from Stars Wars Episode II lor. : I loved Abigail's powerful performance - packed with confidence and character. Lovely encore by her. :) Junhong's rendition of the Glazunov was so passionate. Well done! Choice for encore could be shorter and more engaging next time? Nonetheless a fantastic performance. Good luck for the violin competition!
