Song of Joys-chorus night (Singapore Choir Association)

Last Saturday(8/12/2007) I went to the Esplanade with my parents for the choir concert as my younger sister (who is member of the International Festival Chorus) gave us three tickets before. At least, this was second time I went for the choir concert by choir group. Last year, the whole family went to the old Chruch for the Chistmas Choir by the IFC. Through my younger sister had be member of the choir group since her friend introduced to them.
We had be there(Esplanade) before 7:30PM. Well, just nice we reach there on time and had to wait for awhile before entered for the seats.When we entered the concert hall, it was very big and we were siting at the right of the conner top. VERY high..... O-O;; And it was good view to see expect that... couldn't see clearly through. =_=
During the concert, there were number of songs for night concert:
1)Festival Suite
-The Flower
-The Fountain
-The Flame
-Festive Cheers
2)Laju Laju ake Boat Song (Indonesia)*
3)Celebration of Tribal Harvest Festival (Taiwan)*
4)Kojo no Tsuki ake Moonlight over the Ruined Castle (Japan)
5)Geylang Sipaku Gelang (Singapore)
6)He comes at Chistmastide
7)Dandansoy (Philippines)**
8)Arirang (Korea)**
9)Fill the Cup#
10)I Love#
(note: *Male choir**Female choir#Combined group)
One of the song "He comes at Chistmastide" was sang by IFC with the other choir group and the performation by Raffles Junior College Chamber Ensemble. They did pretty good on that day.
What I liked the most besides "He comes at Chistmastide", were "Kojo no Tsuki", "Arirang" and "Geylang Sipaku Geylang". The "Fill the Cup" and "I Love" were nice. But one problem was that I didn't see my sister which poition she was standing because most of the IFC group members were wearing black outfit. >A<>
After end of the concert, the conducter guests were preasnted flowers by the choir members. Besides that, there was photoghrap with the guest of honour for the night concert.So three of us had to wait for sister at the main entercen awhile before picked up my elder sister for the family dinner. ^_^' Hee hee!!! What a wonderful day for night event. X)
