wow.

Is all I can say for the most recent AJC concert, Spiritanto XII.

Personally it was one of the best concerts I've had, enjoyed and felt at home since con Fuoco IV way back in 2006...

The 'heavy' pieces chosen were really great! Though the band was quite tired we managed to pull through the piece without any breakdown and though many of us made mistakes, our expression was really fantastic... so typical of the Seville kinda band...

I was expecting more for the Year of the Dragon, my newest favourite by Philipe Sparke... Though we did much better during the sound check, it was evident that the band was tired by the 3rd mvt. Bass drum part drove me insane! One of the nicest (and rare) times i get to play the bass drum.

The Raising of Lazarus was considerably okay. Though the band managed to express the piece really well, the piece was not played together at quite a number of parts, especially the perc parts. The pianist did a great job! So did LiWen the glockenspiel player.

I found Banja Luka the best piece performed for the concert. Its a pity I took so long to actually get used to its melody. The piece was well expressed overall and the sirens came in and stopped on time! Was half wondering if Aaron would really sabo the piece haha.

The rest of the pieces were not bad la, not to mention the 2nd performance of Flight of the Bumblebee a.k.a Flight of the Little Lamb for Marimba.......... Glad the players pull through a miracle.

hurhurhur stayed in that very night so anti-climatic.

~pianist is weird~
