This
was an occasion to celebrate Salon had been established for 15
years. I had a walk-on part to join a chorus singing at the end.
Salon solely promoted solo singers in Bel Canto for Opera songs. It
never had any group singing before. I joined the chorus singing to
support this rare occasion.
To
celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the reunification of Hong
Kong, the Home Affairs Bureau held an "International Military
Music Show" at the Hong Kong Coliseum at 8 pm on July 13-15. In
addition to the local representatives of the Hong Kong Police Band
and the Hong Kong Choir Association, the event also invited a number
of well-known military bands in the Mainland and the field, including
the Chinese People's Liberation Army Military Orchestra, the US Navy
Seventh Fleet Orchestra, the Russian side guard army band.
This
was one of the biggest events of the year for us. In total, we
practised 5 times together and gave 3 performances in such a short
period. In the end, we were very tired. We also appeared in many
newspapers and news, what a happy memory!
