Big Band Sunday!!!

It's been more than 2 years since the last Big Band P&W (31 July 2005)..high time for another one and with more style and grandeur too! Many people asked me what was the occasion since it's not quite Christmas yet? Actually, the real reason was..'rostered like that lor'..so might as well make full used of it right? Ha ha ha! And Steven came back from Perth just on time to play the saxophone too.. Man, it was meant to be..everything 'swee swee' in place! For the record, we had a 10-piece band..plus 6 singers and the choir!!!

• Keyboard: Gerald & Ying Soon..great jazzy chords
• Guitar & Bass: Albert..soulful leads, Kuan Loong..good rhythm & Geoffrey..very skillful time-keeping..thanks!
• Drum & Percussion: Wilfred..surprised us when he finally produced the 'rrr-tat-rrr-tat' solo & Eugene.. solid as usual, not even a beat or 'ding' out!
• Saxophone: Steven..you're the man! Definitely ain't no 'Big Band' without brass..ha ha!
• Violin & Cello: Rachel..lively, memorable solo & Si Jia..nice mel intro for 'Offering'
• Singers: Jaclyn, Chris, Ron, Kevin, Ying Fang & May Hoong..the cool swingers???
• Choir..raise the bar a notch with their 'ooo..aahh' harmony for 'How Great Thou Art'

We had a ball of a time rehearsing, dancing (ONLY for mucking around purpose) and singing.. Everybody Ought To Know.. Give Me Oil In My Lamp.. This Little Light Of Mine.. Even Charmaine request our troupe to do a hula dance on stage but unfortunately, we weren't wearing grass skirts or Hawaiian leis..diaoz.. And if anyone didn't quite catch the lines..this is how the song goes..

On Monday, He gave me the gift of love
On Tuesday, peace came from above
On Wednesday, told me to have more faith
On Thursday, gave me a little more grace
On Friday, told me to watch and pray
On Saturday, told me just what to say
On Sunday, gave me power divine
Just to let my little light shine
