Kashiwa Municipal High School Symphonic Band

Please read through!

Hi,
Firstly, would like to wish all members a belated merry xmas and an upcoming happy new year ahead! =)
Hope everybody has been well. Ok, now on to the main thing:

There will be a concert by the Kashiwa Municipal High School Symphonic Band. Strongly recommended.
They are actually a very good band, 200 strong band in Japan which has won numerous awards.
Mr. yea has strongly recommended this concert to the main band and has thus bought 50 tickets at an early bird discount of $29. However, as less than 50 of the main band members are going, there are only SEVEN tickets leftover. Please consider going for this concert as this is a rare opportunity to listen to them.

Kashiwa Municipal High School Symphonic Band, led by Mr Shuichi Ishida, attained the top band recognition in Japan. The band popularity draws crowds over 100 000 at its annual concert. It has won many accolades including the Gold Award at the All-Japan Band Competition, Excellence Award at the All-Japan Marching Band Festival, General Grand Prize at the All-Japan High School Wind Band Conference and the Golden award at the All-Japan High School Invitation Wind Band Conference.

The band has adopted 'shamisen' ( a traditional Japanese guitar with only three strings ), Chinese instruments and enjoyable perforamnce that include singing and dancing. These preformances are intended to showcase a global flavour and impressive saging.

Details:
Friday, 11th January 2008
Esplanade Concert Hall, 7.30pm
Tickets: $36 $46 $100 (currently only $29!!!!!!!!)
Conductor: Mr Shuichi Ishida
Repertoire: To be confirmed.
Personally, I feel that this concert will not be as heavy; one that i should expect filled with gimmicks, dancing and all. Good chance to learn from them, and possibly to incorporate some elements into my upcoming concert.

Please let me know if you are interested, as Mr. Yea needs to sell the tickets fast as well!


Best of regards,
