Thanks to all that came for the 'In Harmony 21' concert...

we enjoyed performing for u guys,

we enjoyed playing under Prof James Keene's conducting.

we had learnt a lot from all 4 of them...

the guest trumpeter was a replacement..
as the original trumpeter's wife has taken ill and couldn't come to Singapore.
(We pray that she'll get well soon~)

so Dr James Zingara was invited to come on his behalf.

Dr James Z's session with the brasses was laced with his sense of humour, although he worked more with the trumpets, but we learnt quite a few stuffs on general brasses related matters.

hahaha, more info for me...

learn more, then got more to pass on to my brass students.

like what some of my friends in the audience mentioned...

"the look of satisfaction on the performers' face after the concert..."

we really enjoyed the concert...
although the full band sessions prior to it was 1 of the most taxing, both mentally n physically.....

quite a number of us had fallen ill during the 1.5 weeks of practice with Prof Keene.

some of them are still recovering on concert night. in fact, 1 of them was still having fever.

the commitments of the musicians, i dun doubt it, especially when we got major projects.

the guest soloists blown the audiences off with their musicalities and technics...

kudos to Prof(Dr)James Zingara and Prof Lynn Klock...

"soloists and conductors that steps into our band practices, add new life and colors to the band amidst our busy schedules."

i thank them for it.
