(this is a seriously backdated entry, sorriee people)
It's been a real tiring day today, but I feel I should cover the 3 concerts I've been to this year (considering the exorbitant prices!) held by Chinese Orchestra, the various dance clubs and Harmonica, with the most expensive one being Dance Nite obviously..zZz..
Frankly, after watching the concert, I have seriously no idea why dance concert tickets are so highly sought-after, because if it weren't for friends performing, I would never ever spend $18 dollars to watch it.. All the dance items were of really high standards and everything, but.. the show wasn't spectacular? Or particularly breathtaking.. It was good, but just.. not awesome enough. In fact, I felt rather emotionless while watching the concert (apart from the tear-jerking, moving, beautiful Chinese Dance items) which is plain weird because I usually get really excited when I watch dance performances. Maybe I expected too much from the concert, but those expectations were certainly justified, if not, raised even further by the insane hype surrounding the concert so I can't help feeling disappointed. Also, all the talk about tickets being sold for crazy prices on the notorious black market only piqued my interest further, so I (kinda rashly) made the decision to go, only to end up feeling sore over losing my money. XD haha, only myself to blame right?
OH and speaking of the concert, it was a superr overdressed event! I sort of expected it cos of past experiences but dance concert really blew me away. haha this was my expression when I saw a girl in this black floor-length dress in the toilet - O.o (I mean, dude! this is just a school concert! Not prom..) And it was the same everywhere. The skirts only got shorter and the heels higher XD Thinking about it, it kinda felt like a fashion show, with the limelight not on the dancers but on the people strutting their stuff offstage. Anw if you're wondering what I wore, I just wore a striped jacket over a humble little tshirt and paired it with a matching skirt and sneakers. (and this was after I made an effort to dress up, but apparently it wasn't enough to compare with the smokin-hot cleavage-baring black mini that my friend wore, heh)
As for CO concert, it was really cool because everyone seemed so professional, especially the concert master and the solo guzhen player, so I really enjoyed it =) haha actually I went only to support a friend, huiwen (though I couldn't see her throughout the concert, save for one item) but I'm glad I went cos it was really an eye-opener for me.
Lastly, I went for the Harmoc concert to support 2 friends (lawl and qiqi), and whilst it wasn't as good as CO due to the limited sounds a harmoc can create, it was still a pleasant experience overall. Haha unfrog-grettable!! ^~^
