chinese orchestra

Its sad dat most people dont know our college. When I went back n ask for the orchestra, da teacher was positive & supportive. Everythg was going well.... den the magic question came...
Where is your college?

Now i have been in sales with clients aft spm. Customers are easy prey, but often, dey hit u with 1 magic ques.. the kind dat if u answered wrong, dey head for the door. This is the kind of ques.

so i exaggerate... - its just 45 mins from here, just a STONES THROW from rawang.
the response- RAWANG?! OMG! !#$$^$^&@$ ( i wasnt lying abt the 45 mins)

but i departed with a professional orchestra contact. Mr Lim (good surname), a fella that i began my conversation with in English thru the fon, n he struggled to maintain the language with me. i kept with eng, just for my amusement. little wonder y he's only in CHINESE orchestra.

his deal- 5 people, professionals. dey wont mind playing 1 hour plus. charge- RM500. those 'pros' can lift their own asses there, n dey can bring deir instruments of trade, so all we have to provide is the mike. dad says its a good deal...

so ya'll can think about WHEN you want dem to play. u can let those nightingales run for 45 mins, or 30, or u can even let them on 1 hour 15, going on thru the dinner, thereby expanding our value for money (i kiamsiap, not song deir price). dey might be also willing to do 30 mins, let them have a break, feed dem wid DH grub, n go again another 30 min. bad thing is, i havent witness 1st hand what they can cook up, but words are that they are good. they do this for a living, so like me and dota, it cant b dat bad.
think about the schedule.

I bet i know who's playing but not so sure. The people from KL?
One thing is that need to make sure we have 5 mikes. Cuz i think all of them playing different instruments.Placing a mike between 2 players or more(like what my school orchestra does) is a very bad idea.

I'm not sure you can get 5 mikes. College does have more than 5 mikes, i suppose, but knowing how good our college is, you'll probably figure out that we will not get THAT many mikes. Can it be like bangsawan, when we don't use mikes at all?

Erm... it depends lo. But i don't think the sound will get to every part of the hall
