Photodump! - NUSSO Concert Edition
Oh well. I haven’t heard a student orchestra before so this concert really surprised me in all the bad ways. Still, only the lower strings were bad. The winds were really good.. save for a single horn which was constantly out of tune. They did very badly in almost all the soft sections too.. the strings were like.. quite horrible with the attack of the notes. All the notes screetched into existence then wavered as they tried to play it soft. Strangely though, me and Oswald noticed that all the difficult sections were the ones that sounded good. This only means one thing. Poor fundamentals. Hahaha. Still, its better than Good fundamentals without practise.
I’m so tired.. And for those who don’t know, uncle John Lai is pretty critical already. Sigh.. why some people’s lives so tough? I almost feel bad.
On the way back.. the realities of the sorry state of my studies was revealed to me. I’m really quite worried for it already. I shall go into obsessive refuse-to-say-yes-to-anything mode. I’ve been too obliging not only to tasks people ask me to do but to useless activities on my own part as well. Have to blame myself for being so slack and not turned on into school mode so far into the semester.
Lastly, some photos of the turnout.
