jamx prelims
It is truly a great feeling to enjoy when so many people work hard together to achieve something. JamX06 Prelims went past us this weekend with the announcement of the names of the eight bands competing in the finals.
Faces quite a bit of problems during the process. Especially on the first day when it rained not once... not twice but three times. The actual performances were supposed to commence at 4.30pm after a whole morning of sound checking. And as zhun as it gets it started to pour (yes not only rain) at 4.30. But as they say the show must still go on. The rain also means there were no crowd to watch the bands perform. After a while the rain stopped and people started gathering at our stage. And as we thought all was fine... disaster struck again. It started to rain again. So the crowd was gone again. This whole process was to happen once more later on in the evening and the third time more heavy than the other two. However we still managed to complete the performances of the 19 bands.
Second day was better. A bit better. We were supposed to start around 5pm but it rained again at 4.30pm. However we faced another problem this time with a miscommunication with one of the judges and he was running very late for the event. But we also couldn't start without him. So we waited and waited... until the rain also stop. Thank god. And there were no more raindrops for the rest of the night. The judge arrived in due time and we kicked things off with the first of 17 bands for the day. And what a marked difference the rain (or rather the lack of it) made. There was quite a big crowd today. And that seems to give everyone involved more energy. The atmosphere was completely different from day one if you ask me. And it was good. Also thanks to the sound engineer present i learnt a lot about the instruments and band music today.
Really nice of him. Now then i know those speakers and monitors on stage are only meant for the band members to hear themselves and not for the audience. But a lot of bands do not know that and thus complained a lot. It is the balancing at the speakers that really matter.
It was a great feeling to be involved in the organisation of this event actually. Enjoyed myself. One times FINALS to go on 5th Feb 06 (need to advertise a bit what haha). Hopefully it will be an even better night. Do come and support on that day. We'll be at *scape behind orchard cineleisure. The finalists were chosen from 36 bands so are all not bad one. Haha. Yeah. But now very tired. Tomorrow 9-5 day with no break. Will die. Especially during the lab. Bless me.
