Friday was SNYO concert. It was certainly a bang. The last piece absolutely rocks, with the orchestra in full bloom, with the pipe organ and everything. That kind of feeling really stirs up the emotion in people and leaves behind a ringing ecstasy etched in their minds. If us audience can feel it, I'm sure the performers themselves must have been super elated at that time.

I've felt this "ringing ecstasy" feeling before in several occasions. As a performer I got it twice during this year's RISE concert, during the William Tel and during the Britten finale. You know the kind of feeling that makes people play furiously with their heads held high with pride with happiness rushing throughout their body. It rocks man =D As an audience, I think I experienced it during this SNYO concert and also during the choir concert finale, where they sang "Can you hear the people sing."

Aw.. but shucks, that ownage feeling, it's so much better than when you're in it than when you're watching it. I can give an absolutely sick analogy, but I think most people know what I'm going to talk about so I shall give it a pass.

I shall brush up my skills during this holiday, and try to finish learning and perfect my Haydn Cello Concerto in C 1st Movement by the January SNYO audition next year!! I want to get in!!! =D
