This week I’m am going to talk about A concert I went to last week. Last week, my family received two tickets from a family friend. Each ticket apparently cost $68 and it would be a shame not to use them. Out of the four people in my family, mommy and I were the ones interested in classical music. Although, even though I went with mommy I was still very reluctant. In my opinion, I would rather stay at home and listen to music than going to a concert. In the end, I agreed because of the high ticket cost and the fact I liked classical music.
After the almost 1 hour drive, mommy and I arrived at the concert hall. When we entered the building I was in for a surprise. This concert that I was dragged into wasn’t even a professional concert. Out of the 33 performances, only 4 were done by professionals. At this point, I was quite disappointed with the concert. Before the concert actually started, I was still shocked that a children’s concert cost $68 per ticket. When the performances finally started, I just tried to enjoy the performances. Most of the performances were done well. However, the technical crew ruined every single vocal performance because of the microphone settings. Still, the microphone problems were trivial compared to the audience. Daddy says I have a phone addiction but I’m nothing compared to the crowd. During each performance, there were at least 5 people on their phones. At its peak, I counted 8 people on their phones. 5 were on Wechat, 2 were playing games, 1 had to pick up a phone call, and I haven’t even included all of the people talking and taking videos. All of this happened after we were informed to turn on silent mode and not to take videos.
Overall, I didn’t quite enjoy the concert. I felt I could have been more productive at home then spend 3 hours in the concert building alone. Then again, I was that enthusiastic about the concert, to begin with. I feel bad for anyone who showed up and had high hopes for the concert. In the end, I never had a high expectations but the technical crew and crowd kind of ruined it for me.
