Yamaha JMC Graduation Concert 2011 - Banana's Cha Cha ensemble

姐姐 had been at Yamaha music school since Jan 2008 from Music Kids program. So it had been 3 years, going on 4 years, how time flies! After 5 weeks of hard work, they performed a pretty good Banana's Cha Cha ensemble. Click here for the video we took of their Banana's Cha Cha ensemble performance: http://youtu.be/hHnA-oKxQNo

At the concert:

The girls with flower headbands and wristlets

Finally a lady-like pose for us

My favorite photo, serene amidst the action around her

They say Ginny is so funny with the twisties

Recap the moments during extra classes to prepare for concert:

Playing with flower garland lei.
This eventually ended up on the tamborines instead

Just know that after performance, the children go to the stage to get their graduation certificate. But the certificate has a blank with no name! Like a blank check... Why couldn't they at least print the child's name on it? And I don't remember teacher mention they will be wearing graduation robe, so luckily 姐姐's dress falls around her knees. Otherwise would look a little funny if she's wearing a mini skirt or if the boy's shorts are covered. Some of the children's performance is singing and dancing, but JMC is about learning to play isn't it? I hope 弟弟 get to play for his graduation concert next time. I mean, we could watch their dancing at their kindy concert and I want to watch 弟弟 perform his playing on stage next time.

It will be another year before they will take the first exam. Heard that only JMC have graduation concert so do not need to worry about concert at every level.
