Air Symphony: The Magical Genie

Last night I have attended a concert held at HGH Convention Centre.
It's been so long since the last time I went to concert. I think it was during my secondary school time.

I am not sure whether this is the first time I heard about Air Symphony Wind Orchestra.
The reason why I was there is to support my friend's classmate, who was one of the flute players of this concert. I promised to attend the concert and pay the money without hesitation when my friend started inviting people.

Talk about the concert, what I want to say is, I am quite surprise for the arrangement and organisation of the whole concert. My comment is this could be considered as a successful concert or event. Their themes, their aims, their mission were very clear delivered. I am not familiar with this band, however, I can still remember the four elements the emcee emphasised last night which are dream, passion, courage and believe.

This band is majority joined by former school band member, and of course there are some other music lovers who are passionate. I was surprised when I saw there are a trumpeter who was wearing a pilot uniform and another player wearing a diving suit during the admission. I believe the message they want to deliver is that every players have their normal study or working life, they have their job, they are like those ordinary persons who have to work at normal working hour. However, there is one thing different which is they are all a music lover and they insist to achieve their dreams. This is another identity for them. They have dream, they have passion, they have the courage and of course they trust each other and they believe their dreams could be achieved. The message is clear, and I can feel that.

They might not considered as a professional musician, however they have a strong foundation in playing instrument. Therefore, the concert is quite successful partly due to their playing skills.
The sounds are grand, even if the pieces of score are just way quite simple. They played the songs that I am quite familiar with as I have played it when I was in band.

They played Beauty and the Beast, I dreamed a dream, Disney Medley, Mulan.
And they combined with choir for the song You Raise Me Up, Somewhere over the rainbow and When you believe. Yes I believe that the song list generated is partly based on the four elements.

Besides song playing, they have some entertained programme. They have invited the dancing team from TARUC (yes it's my college!) and some other excitation programme with accompaniment by band.

All of the arrangement of this concert was just nice, including the car parking section, I am very satisfied with their arrangement.
Their brass section are strong and grand. Trumpet and Trombone section are awesome.
The only bad thing to me is there is only one Euphonium player (haha! Therefore I am planning to be the 2nd one...)
For the overall performance I am satisfied and enjoyed.
So, I am looking forward to the next concert held. Good luck!
And of course, they remind me my memories in band...

这场concert我不是独自一人前去观赏。去到现场我看见很多一群群的中学生，我知道这一群群的人一定是代表着不同的学校乐队来观赏这场concert，就像以前的我们。
霎时间我很怀念我们的从前，我们经历过的岁月。霎时间我也很希望我前来观赏这场concert的同时，也有我曾经的队友在我身边和我一起感受和回顾那些年的画面。

看见台上排列好的椅子、谱架和乐器，我真的很羡慕每一位演奏者，毕业后还能再次拥有这个舞台。同时我还很怀念之前的我们，因为我们也曾经有过很多次这样的时光。
怀念，却回不去。心里头真有一股冲动想抱起自己的乐器，和熟悉的脸孔一起吹奏的念头。

每一首曲子，我都很用心听每一个节奏，每一个音符，每一个节拍，每一组乐器，每一个声音。我真的打从心底的怀念过去。Tuning时，我还很感触，究竟是多久，我没有再听见过曾经那么熟悉的声音？我只能不知觉得闭起眼睛，利用听觉来回味过去。
很好听，我真的好久好久没有听到过了，真的好久，感觉陌生又熟悉。

事后我在想，与其羡慕他人能够完成梦想，不如实际点去实行不是更好吗？
音乐，对我而言虽然称不上是一个梦想，但至少，我的热情还是存在的。
我相信除了音乐，目前为止没有比这个令我更能放松的兴趣了。

因此，我会尝试再次去接触，我希望能够找回那份熟悉的归属感。
