WELL DONE for realMusic! Jan Concert JIA YOU!

Dear all Alumni band members,

I would like to thank ALL OF YOU for giving such a nice and wonderful performance on the night of 29th July 2007! I know the performance wasn't our best performance but that was the most "realMusic" we could produce at that point of time! I am very happy to hear the whole band finally SING OUT the Cappadocia chorus part. It wasn't breathtaking, not very nice but it is just warmth. How should I put it, even from a non professional recording I could feel the warmth. Seriously NOT very good singing but that's music that we have produced!

All of you have really make this concert a success!! Thank you very much! You guys just rock!

Thank you for the committee members for doing so much!! It is worth it since we have FULL HOUSE!! Congratulations!!

Also to add on, I have received numerous comments from audience that we have played rather well that night and our Cappadocia was simply one of our best song of the night! Thank you for all the hard work alumni band!!

--------------------------------------------------------------


That's the end of our realMusic concert BUT we have another concert coming up!!

20th January 2008, Sunday!

The concert with Satoshi Yagisawa and Kazuyasu Kaminaga!!

Everyone please work hard for this! We have 10 songs to settle and we basically only have 23 practices!!

We need to settle one piece every 2 practices. I am very sorry BUT that's the fact! We are short of time. I need EVERYONE to cooperate! Sorry but please give me your best support for this concert! Let's make it the best concert we ever have!

This is a pure ALUMNI BAND concert! So PLEASE DON'T THROW Lin Sheng's face or any of the 2 Guest conductors!!
