As part of the organising team for the event, I am very satisfied with the eager participation of the audience or students during the concert.
It was a great success, although some aspects of the concert were rushed out.
We decided to distribute facepaint and tattoos among the students to hype up the students. This idea is immediately endorsed by Mr Low, our director of consortium. Face-friendly facepaint was bought immediately for the occasion.
This morning, we waited outside the hall to distribute the facepaint. In order to encourage the students to don the tattoos and facepaint, the organising team members were to set the ball rolling by putting facepaint on themselves.

Maybe still in the World Cup mood, some secondary four students brought vuvuzelas that day, around 10 in total. I heard from my seniors that it was meant to boo any poor performances, but I do not recall hearing them sound. Vuvuzelas are basically a plastic tube which produces a huge amount of humming sound when blown, and each one costs fifty dollars, according to the seniors.
Vuvuzelas were used in the Fifa World Cup 2010 partly because it is in Africa, as it was used during soccer matches there.
Regarding the upcoming Youth Olympic Games in Singapore, I heard rumours of imported vuvuzelas of the youth olympic theme. However, vuvuzelas are banned in the Youth Olympic Games.
