Well... here is the moment we've all been waiting for...
MID AUTUMN DAY / FRESHMAN WELCOME PARTY
The opening act was the "school's" rock band. I guess the guys said the school doesn't really like their music, but they did an awesome job opening it up. |
Act 2 - Traditional Chinese Dancing (Oddly enough, my morning yoga outfit looks exactly the same but in blue.) |
It started out as a joke with some students that I could beat box some. A week and half later, after adding 8 more people (5 singers, 2 more beat boxers, and a piano player), 2 auditions, changing many things, and practicing for 2+ hours a day we went on stage. We performed 'Apologize' by Timbaland/One Republic in front of 1000+ freshman in military fatigues for the Mid Autumn Day Festival/Freshman Welcome Party. It was a great chance to get to Love them a different way and see them outside of class. I'm glad we did it but I'll be more careful about what jokes I say next time. When in China...
Then we were on... "It's now time for class, please go back to your classroom and get ready..." |
Tannah and Eric leading the verses. |
The Chorus - Piano, 5 singers, 3 beat boxers. |
Grand Finale after the dance. Dance? Check out the video for the whole performance. |
