"Alto 1 的声音很齐" - 俊豪

It’s 2 hours before performance, running short of time; I can’t understand why the conductor needs to go through the bloody pieces although he’s not conducting them later on. Told him to stand aside and do the listening while Alex conducts, yet he stubbornly refused. And the best part is that his rationale for doing that is to cue the ensemble in. HUH!!?!? What the hell are you talking about??!!

The other antics of Domy:
- ladder climbing on stage
- late for sound test
- changing the MC script on stage during the dry run
- pulled his ninja stunt on Jai just before La Partida
- urging the ensemble to look at him during performance (hahaha! Obviously no one bothered to look, except for Edwin who couldn’t make out what he wanted)
- Flaring up at Yong Kiat! That was the best one yet, he did it in the most high-pitched Auntie-ish tone, almost burst out laughing. I’m definitely nominating and seconding Yong Kiat to assume presidency next.

The concert went pretty well, though I’d say there’s a lack of differentiation in the playing. Haru was steady and perhaps too steady. America was unresolved rhythmically, Get Back and La Partida was the usual bull-dozing, ELO unsettled here and there.

I really want to thank the hardworking juniors for helping with the instruments. With UCC so close to CFA, I doubt they’d have much problems, which of course is my perfect excuse for being lazy. Long Live the PMs!
