Performance: SP Open House 2009

Okay. Let's first start off with the Goals for the time.

Short Term: Keep working in locking in time. Abit of prac will do.

Medium Term: For the Year, It'll probably getting my 2 Exam pieces done. The Patitha by Bach Done. Plus, the Sonata by Haydn.

Now we'll jump to the Performance

Performance: Singapore Polytechnic Open House 2009
Venue: Foyer of the School of Business. Block 19, Ground Floor.
Date: 8 and 9th of January 2008.

This is one of our last performances of the year, this time our group wanted to end this with a bang. This one is graded and assessed accordingly, to performance standards. My Group Members this time were Bo Cheng, Dhanish, Prue and Celester. Here is an overview of the actual line-up:

Bo Cheng - Vocals
Prue - Electric Bass
Myself - Keys, Backup Vocals
Celester - Electric Guitar
Dhanish - Drums.

We encountered quite an amount of problems before this whilst practicing over the couple of months. We sometimes have problems locking with Celester. We are trying many means to help Celester keep in time. We normally advice him to keep his Electric Guitar simple. Overtime, although a problem, he has made a huge improvement. Although he has been getting abit more complicated in terms of rhythm, but has been able to cope.

The Actual concert on Thursday is better than on Friday. Dhanish told me that he cannot hear himself playing, Fortunately enough, he was able to lock by hearing the Keys. Friday wasn't as good, but we do have positive critics that we still lock in. I assume this time it was the mixing fault. Dhanish cannot hear me this time.

Well, this teaches me one thing, in order to lock in time with your team members, you need to listen closely to your fellow members. Add some life to your performance with some gestures, movements, all that sort of thing. If you can't hear one, hear the other. All in all, I was generally well-chuffed with our performance for those 2 days.

Happy dayz.
