Esperanza II

Once again at VCH, same conductor, but a different band. Well... it's my sis 1st concert.

"... Jubilee Hall, 2000, Crescendo II..."

With the alumni joining in as well, the band head off to a strong start with the cornet and trombone sections playing well. On close inspection, I guessed that the lack of clarinatists and flootists contributed to a rather weak woodwinds. As with every concert, I look forward to a strong and energetic percussion section. Somehow yesterday I wasn't let down.

"... By Loch and Mountain... Concerto D'Amore... On Main Street... "

The first half of the programme was heavy with overtures. The second half appealed more to the not-so-musically inclined. The dancing and the fast numbers only masked their tired playing which didn't display varied articulations. But the dancing and the cool light sticks were something to comment them on.

But I have to say that the Pirates song was nice. My sis agreed too... Haha... she liked the song so much.

Encore piece was Tong Hua with a romantic solo from the cornet and saxophone. Nice nice nice.

"... encore... YMCA..."
