Guitar Camp!

wheee! I shall be attending a classical guitar camp at Frazer's Hill from tomorrow till Sunday! Okay...so maybe this isn't camp rock and roll...but it certainly is gonna be fun and games and music! :D

This is my first music camp and I'm so psyched!!! Maybe because I'm getting another rare opportunity to perform solo on stage?(3 infact) And yes! Catch up with some of my old ensemble buddays! Oh and my sis is coming along with me too... guitar enthusiasm runs in the family XD

Good to know the only reason why he's control you more and more is because he's losing control :)

And thats one thing I won't bring up to the mountain XD

Oh...

Putera Concert!!!

Hooray!!! I'll be attending the long awaited Putera Concert tomorrow night at the Malaysian Tourism Centre-walking distance from KLCC and a familiar haunt for any of the nation's classical guitar enthusiasts!

Heard from my master that the Princess of Negeri Sembilan will be attending it too! Which means us-the audience probably has to dress up formal for it? Anyway me and my sis won't be taking chances to stick out like a sore thumb amongst the VIPs...looks like I'll have to dress up formal for tomorrow's Contract class lol... not expecting any kind comments XD

Okay...

On another note, (yet another musical one)

The photos for the Guitar Alive 2009 concert have finally been posted on the official site!

In stark contrast to my previous ensembles, this year's guitar ensemble family extended itself to a whopping 15 members!! with an age bracket that ranged from the youngest-9 year old cute dota whiz kid, to a respected 20 year old college student! No debate this time over the few old style ensemble names...a unanimous decision was made to name ourselves- Dandelion. With this year's program list of ours consisting of 4 easy-to-play nursery pieces. Overall good team playing by all of us, especially the younger ones, but yes once again there is always margin for improvement in terms of coordination. Communication is the key. After all, we are a large family :)

Enough talk! Pictures pluck a thousand notes!

Us! Rehearsing on stage infront of the other performers of the evening...

Caught me, but bad angle XD

Dandelion! Spot me? :)

Curtain calls~ take a bow!

I love this angle XDD!!!

Well no roses and no encores this time round :(

Nonetheless another eye opening (lucky not ear splitting) hands-on experience with classical guitar stage arts! So ends another fruitful year of practicing and thus beginning another cycle of sowing the seeds of melody into the hearts and minds of the crowd with our beloved instrument!

Quote of the day:

Life is full of ups and downs.

But without them, would you want to live?

I guess the same applies for love...

:)

Tudos~
