Day 164 - Christmas Choir 2

I will now assume that SM malls have a choir perform Christmas songs at least every Saturday for this and last month. This is another one that I had a chance to watch/listen to today. They're pretty good. :)

I actually took a video of the song they performed after I took this shot (sadly they didn't sing a Christmas song on their next number, Kay Ganda ng Ating Musika, but they did have dance steps) but the video from my cellphone sucks (as do the pictures, actually). I really shouldn't forget to bring a proper camera when I go out of the house next time.

Anyway, I was a bit more fascinated with this choir as opposed to last time, because this choir had more people in the audience. Or maybe that has something to do with the time, because this performance was around 6PM. The other one, I took that photo around 3PM.

P.S. I'm sorry I skipped a lot of days. There's just not much to take pictures of at home.

Day 141 - Christmas Choir

After my class today, I stopped at SM Southmall to pay my cellphone bill, but wouldn't you know it, the Globe* office there is currently undergoing renovation so I ended up just watching this choir perform Christmas songs in the middle of the mall. Talk about having Christmas just around the corner, the malls aren't just playing Christmas songs anymore, they're actually having live performances of it. I didn't catch their name, but they were pretty good.

Day 85 - Flute Choir

FLUTE CHOIR - Composed of my uncle and some of his former students. My uncle is the one on the lead flute (like I know the difference hahaha), wearing glasses and a light blue polo shirt

Wala kayo sa Photo of the Day ko!

Saan pa kayo nakakita ng impromptu/informal flute choir recital?! Sa birthday party lang ng tito ko nangyayari 'yan! Hehehe. Nah, I'm sure if you're a musician then you've seen something like this or have been part of it before, or something. But since I am not a musician, I'm happy to at least be related to one.

FYI, my uncle, before he retired, was the principal flutist of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, which is short for "He's the best flutist in the Philippines". If you disagree, don't bother to tell me. I'll admit that I'm biased since I'm not a flute person and hello, he's my uncle.

Anyway... Today was his 66th birthday celebration and because he recently retired, it was also a sort of retirement party. Hence, his former students and other music friends attended. After the honoring speeches, he and his students performed 3 songs for us. This is a screenshot of the video I took when they played the William Tell Overture. It was a real treat. I mean, how many people can say that they attended a birthday party where there was a flute choir that played? Before this, I didn't even know that flute choirs existed. Shows how "cultured" I am. Hahaha.
