For the past few years, the only music-related concerts i've attended were those Twin performed in. And for the exact same years, YL, CL and i are always left awed at how much time Twin has devoted to the local music scene! I mean, she is a yr 4 Hons student now and let's just say no one would deny how insanely packed school schedule can be at this point of NUS's school life.
So it was 主流一派's music appreciation mini concert the previous time but this time round, we attended Heartbeat Percussion band's 21st Anniversary Concert at NTUC Auditorium!!
Concert started with Twin's short solo performance!
They had this special arrangement for special performers/guest conductors to come down from their seat in the audience when it's their time to perform so you get all these students screaming and cheering as they make their way down the aisle and onto the stage like some popstars! haha.
One of my favorite part of the concert would be when the chief conductor of Heartbeat invited some of the "legendary" percussion band members on stage where they performed a series of musical numbers. Everyone was so at ease on stage, looking like they were truly enjoying themselves and immersing in the music they were creating. =) What a sight!
And with such phenomenal performance comes....
A standing ovation!
Then, one of the band members brought out a group of kids and they began joining the rest of the band on stage for a short performance! So adorableeeeee =)
Throughout the whole concert, we were encouraged to snap our fingers, clap, tap our feet to the music because the chief conductor stressed (over and over again on stage) that this concert was meant to be an interactive one so instead of having the band performed for us, audience are suppose to perform WITH them.
But never did we expect the band to prepare musical instruments for us so we could really perform WITH them!!
Everyone had a different percussion instrument and it was one helluva fun!! Awesomeness!! =)
Instead of a long and draggy concert, this performance turned out to be light-hearted and well, totally memorable! =) Can't wait for the next one already!! haha.
