It has been a year since Xuan entered Nan Chiau and to my un-expectation, joined the wind orchestra (aka band) and began playing the saxophone.
Her fondness of the wind orchestra, its members, her instrument, the music.. seemed to have increased little by little over the past one year. By the end of 2014, she was humming the music she played almost everyday!!
Once every two years, there is the SFY whereby all the various performing arts in schools would participate in a competition and be graded. Xuan's wind orchestra is also practising hard for the 2015 SYF since the December hols. Another motivation for their intense ice training was their annual concert, this time selling tickets and held publicly--at the Lee Foundation Theatre at NAFA.
The entire orchestra was all thrilled with this public performance and they even custom-made new uniforms!! Xuan was so proud to be part of it.. In fact, she was also one of the few Sec 1s (as per 2014) to be selected to play the SYF pieces and the ensemble together with her seniors!!
There were two sessions on performance day, 4pm and 7pm. Thinking that there would be no difference, we bought tickets to attend the 4pm one..
