Harmonica Competition 2008

Last year, the annual Harmonica Competition was held in Komtar, on the 20th and 21th of December 2008. I took part in the quartet (junior category) and ensemble. Also, I accompanied for 3 person on the piano- yingchen, wei lee, bingjia. Early in the morning, about 7:45am, my brother and I reached komtar, met our members. Then, watched the exciting competition. Besides, there were also seminars and concert held too. The concert was performed by Ozalis. Throughout the concert, i had really enjoyed myself. Thanks too for the organiser!! =p

The end!! In 2008 harmonica competition, apparently everyone had passed the competition. If I am not mistaken , the passing marks is 65.., passing marks for bronze not sure, silver not sure, for gold is more thatn 85 marks!! So, CLHS had won 2 big trophy ( 1. Blues-Chengchun (Baby Elephant Walk) marks-81.xx (silver) 2. Solo Open Category-Wei Lee (Serenade and Dance) marks-88.xx (Gold, Champion), it was totally out of the blue, by the way, Congrats..!!! Keep it up!! Ying Chen also won gold in the solo junior category, with (89.xx marks) but no trophy, a person with a higher mark-93.xx from Yu Hua High School won the trophy.

CLHS Harmonica Ensembles had won silver!! rank 3 out of 5 groups , PCGHS 2 out of 5, Heng Yee -Champion! Very sorry to see and say that PCGHS harmonica members were sobbing, hugging each other, consoling each other when the results were announced, maybe they were shocked or watever....They blew "Fiddler On The Roof" .On the contrary, although we were only 3rd, we were quite satisfied, because we had improved a lot compared to last year!! But, we will try our very very best this year to win the champion!! Hope so!!

More pictures too be upload, stay tuned!!
