To teachers involved,


First of all, I, C.Guevara would like to extend my most sincere apology to all the Jit Sin's school teachers who were previously mentioned in the last posting. I've learned that our previous post had caused some unexpected turbulence and dissatisfaction among some community in our school. I would like to state that its not our initial intention to disgrace any individuals;but merely to voice out our point of view. However, we realised that all we had done in the previous post is INAPPROPRIATE. Again, we are here to say SORRY and will be removing the earlier post mentioned.

And also to blog readers, we are sorry that we have to delete the post mentioned. Thanks for your continuous support for our blog.



Yours Sincerely,

C.Guevara

The Brightest Night

一踏入那属于相当高等级的大会堂,立即感受到那股令人无法解释的兴奋感;那从日中华乐团散发出的魅力及气质。。。。

I managed to squeeze myself into a very tiny space at the far end from the stage. Its so lucky of me to have entered the hall ealier, or else I would have ended up like those pity who stood on the isle.... Soon after the opening ceremony, the band marched in to the stage. Everybody became silent. All of the JSCO performers had their seats occupied. Then, the music began after the student conductor waved her wand.Streams of melody invaded my ears and soul....The first song that came into the performance was 羽调。While savouring my mind with the smooth melody, I enjoyed watching the movements of the performers too. Its totally fantastic to see how each and everyone of the giant chinese ochestra band played their parts so delicately; producing a excellent rythem. Its truly amazing that the combination of all sorts of chinese musical instruments is a high-quality form of sound. By manipulating the team work so well, JSCO seemed like a perfect band with wonderful performance on stage, and indeed , it is.

List of musics:
1.羽调
2。北京喜讯传边寨
3。 玄抒情怀
4。 驼铃响叮当
5。西班牙舞曲
6。滚核桃
7。湘西风情
8。新婚别 (二胡奏曲)
9。民族管玄乐 『茉莉花』
10。『秦兵马涌』 幻想曲

Encore.

最后一场的演出使我感到一阵阵的伤感。。。。。我才发现到,我爱上了华乐。。

The last theme was played. I stood up to give the band a standing ovation. JSCO deserved more than that. But the best an audience could do to show his appreciation to their performance is to give a minutes-long applause. Just as the conductor was about to leave, suddenly the crowd managed to get Lim back to his position. The word "ENCORE!!" echoed the auditorium. Without wasting any time, and spontaneously, they played the one last serenade till the end. The ending was so beautiful. Graceful, as I said, the momentum of the performance made its peak; and eventually ended in a calm and peaceful manner.
I felt so hard to leave the auditorium, coz I knew it would be some time for me to be able to catch up with the next JSCO concert. And now you know why I said that JitSin Chinese Ochestra is the living legend of our school, coz this is not merely a personal compliment from me; it's a fact that they are, indeed.
