We had our violin recital at Alliance Francaise Theatre yesterday and we all had a blast. We have been meeting up prior to our performance to practise a couple of times. Just before the actual performance, we had a dry run and it was horrendous. We were not warmed up, violins were not tuned and we were off sync with the pianist. So immediately after that, the 4 of us gathered outside the lobby and played the pieces through a couple more times. Thank goodness we got our act together for the actual recital. :-)

But there was a little hiccup though.... as we were crusing through our 2nd piece, we heard a "Thwang...." Apparently Marcus' E string snapped. He walked off the stage and we continued without him. It was a real pity cos he really practiced very hard. He even had a solo piece whereby we were supposed to play his accompanyment.

We're looking forward to our next year's recital. It's really fun meeting the folks once a year for practices and all. Meanwhile, we'll start seaching for interesting pieces and scores. Hee Hee.
