Suna Kirac Hall, Robert College
May 25, 2006

An ongoing tradition, the RC orchestra concerts have been the music department's annual chance to showcase its well-prepared talents to students, parents, administrators and alumni. The orchestra tries to play a variety of crowd-pleasing songs, with most of them tending either towards jazz/soft rock or mildly oriental/very Turkish when it comes to the genre. This year's concert lasted two hours interval inclusive and somehow the audience managed to bring the musicians back to the stage for the repeat of one of the songs.

Okay, so I'm still going to live events to get used to the action-reaction aspect of photography. This event was a challenge, though an easier one thanks to previous experiences in Suna Kirac Hall, mainly because the lights are: erratic, very dim at times, turn on and off with the beat for certain songs, colored. Now that's quite a list of things I've been learning to overcome This was also the first time they went on stage this time round (i.e. they have two more shows tomorrow and Saturday) so I'm guessing the show hasn't really "set in" yet... Still, it was action packed, fun and colorful. Kudos to everyone. Oh, and don't blame me for the lame titles: It's not my creative day.

She was having fun, I think... Danced on the stage, sort of.

Enjoy.
