Rhythm in Batu Pahat

Went to Grand Sea View Restaurant on the 21st August 2008 with mommy at 7 pm to attend the Chinese High School Musical Concert 2008.Arrived very early and met and had a small chat with the Headmistress of the school who just arrived about the same time as us.We went in first and handed over the 2 tickets which was courtesy of mommy's colleague.Then we were each given a bottle of mineral water and a small booklet after which we were being ushered to our place. ( Gave me the feeling of like in the cinema *giggles* )
The musical concert started at 8 pm sharp with the Headmistress giving a welome speech followed by the ribbon cutting and gong beating ceremony.After that 2 master of ceremony came on stage to introduce the programme with one speaking in Mandarin and the other in English.Those were the performances that night - 24 drum ( 24节令鼓 ) , Choir, Chinese Orchestra , Guitar rendition of the song ' Take me home, Country Road' ,Stringed instruments group present those classics like ' Finale from Symphony no:5 ' , Solo singing, Wind instruments group,and the orchestra music group (harmonious combination of chinese musical instruments and the western symphony).
The song i liked best was from the 24 drum combined with the Chinese musical instrument performing the famous Kitaro's song- Matsuri. Every performance received thunderous applause and the mini concert ended at near 10 pm.
