Today was competition day. With over 1,500 entries the organisers had 10 different competition venues working today starting from 8 am! |
These are pictures of different contestants. Most categories (all popular music) required the contestant play with a backing track and to also play an own choice piece or own choice program. |

Each room had a very nice very large background poster. | 每个赛场都会有非常漂亮的巨大的背景海报 |
In the main hall, there were many large orchestras performing. Note that they are performing from memory, quite usual in China.
在音乐厅中有很多组乐队在表演 |
|
Some had really colorful costumes of their native peoples, and the young children looked especially cute. Each large orchestra also had a team of parents to put the chairs on/off the stage. 有些参赛组的选手们会穿上漂亮的民族服装,还有十分可爱的小孩子们会站起来演奏或者坐在椅子上演奏。 |

Below are two videos of this competitor. |
After lunch, I found Prof. Li Cong autographing his music books (with music CD) for young people.

The first video is an example of playing with the backing track. Performing with a backing track was like a test piece. The competition organisers provided the sound gear for 10 different venues! Some contestants performed standing with dance movement. | |
There was then an own choice solo required for most competition categories. | |
One of the largest orchestras all played standing - I guess the parents did not want to put that many chairs on/off the stage!!!!
一支庞大的乐团正站着表演,我想也许是他们的父母不愿意帮着把椅子搬上、搬下舞台吧(开个玩笑)。 |
|
I saw several contestants play the music and make nice dance steps as they played. |

Improvising on a Chinese melody written on the program for him. Compere Xiao Chang, a Masters student majoring in accordion, enjoying the moment.
罗曼克即兴演奏了写在节目单上一条中国旋律(《爸爸去哪儿了》)。在一旁的手风琴专业硕士研究生、主持人常笑多享受这一刻啊!! |
