HS Arts Fiesta (continued......)

The night programme turned out quite fine actually. First and foremost, was the prize presentation for the top student and the outstanding students in the 'O' levels. Was good to shake hands with Prof Ho, who was the GOH that night. It's actually quite an honour in a sense because he is such a distinguished person in the field of music. Not many people can be like him. Anyway, the guitar and guzhen did quite well for the first half.

Met Zhao Han during the interval and chatted with him before Caleb joined in later. Glad Zhao Han made a new friend! So the second half started off well with the guitar before the band took centre stage for the final item. Just like the afternoon show, the finale had a major impact on the audience. It literally rocked the NYP auditorium. Good job guys! However like I said again, the band must be careful of their balance, intonation and musicality. Noticed again that many of the chords were not in tune. That could be very costly during SYF. The judges will be all out to get bands that do not play their chords in tune. Balance, another important aspect is still not achieved yet I noticed. When the melody is supposed to be outstanding, it isn't. Instead it seems like the bass is louder.....

Ok enough of that. I'm sure the band knows what to do and I'm very sure they'll give it their best for SYF. We shall see next Thursday, 14th April. Good luck guys! Just worried for HS band.....
