What can I say about the concert last night. Hrm.
I think first of all, they need to shoot all the tenor 2s. Move some
altos to sing tenor 1, and have the tenor 1s take the place of the
tenor 2s. I'm sure it's not all of them, but enough of them to create
this awful raspy and throaty sound.
I did like the powerpoint presentations, although after a while, it
was a little too much to be having a presentation after every song. It
also doesn't really create the nostalgic feel that I think it's trying
to achieve. Maybe what they should've done is to have a spoken
timeline. Not sure if that would make it less monotonous though.
Oh, then I'd like to shoot some of the audience members for being
overenthusiastic clappers.
My favourite song: Bogoroditse Djevo, although it was done a little
too fast. Not enough serenity.
My vote for least favourite: Honey Suckle Bee something or other. This
was the song that I first wanted to shoot all the Sops for their awful
and out of tune entries; until the Tenors opened their line, after
which not only did I want to shoot them, I also wanted to have their
carcasses drawn and quartered by wild horses.
Wah damn mean lah.
Highlight of the evening was my post-concert Gin and Tonic, my new
preferred alcoholic drink of choice.
