[ 188. Xinfony IV ]
Well, just got home from that xinmin band concert. Have lotsa comments, but i'll keep it short. Well, for once i've seen a reflection of how secondary school crowds behave. Ermz... rowdy? loud? no manners? understatements, i guess. Actually... it kinda bugs me when the house lights are off and people still happily talk and yak and talk and yak like no ones business. Someone even sang "Why are we waiting?..." LoL. Talk about ugly Singaporeans. Enough about audience. Now on stage, we have 2 very adorable emcees... who... erms... broke almost all the rules of emcee-ing:
Rule 1) Be polite.
Apparently the female anchor started off with "The concert is about to begin. Kindly switch off all handphones and pagers." Clear absence of p's and q's.
Rule 2) Don't talk when audience clap.
Their already small voices needs only the audiences' whispers to cover. Imagine what happens when the audience starts clapping.
Rule 3) Use the mike.
One of the guys happily recited his lines and the mike clearly drifted away from the mouth.
Rule 4) Don't apologise for the blunders you make.
This is the ultimate. The male anchor came out and said something like this at the end. "(Name of female anchor) and myself would like to apologise for stating the wrong names at the graduating members award giving earlier on. We are sincerely sorry to the parents, friends and relatives of the people who's names were annouced wrongly. Sorry."
Well... on the flip side, i'd have to say that one of the interesting things to note is that i'm certain that the male emcee has a higher pitch than the female host. I was giggling to myself half the time when he was talking... haha.
Anyway, i'd say xmsb did a great job... and all the best to you guys next week at the syf... =) cheerio~ |
