It was already 7.30pm and it seemed like the hall is not even half filled. Everyone especially the crew was running around, making sure things are in control. I personally was being worried about the drama and getting ready to control the projectors with Joanna backstage. It was a big relief to see the crowd finally start filling the big hall.
When the hall was pitch black, it was already the cue to play the videos lined up for the opening of the whole event. As soon as the videos were done, the lights were on slowly, seeing Charissa and Kimberley dancing their ballet-ish dance on Awakening. Once they finished together with the song, the dance team has already gotten ready in front of the audience. The worship team started playing and singing Point of Difference, accompanying the energetic and well-choreographed dance. It definitely got the crowd moving their bodies, if not, tapping their feet to the song. It was really good since it was a live performance.
The committee decided not to throw the CF t-shirts away loosely, so they had games this year. Whoever who volunteered to go up the stage and participate will get the t-shirt. Now, there were a couple of games which I thought they were pretty lame (again, I always think that games are lame) but it definitely made the crowd laugh and get comfortable. Joseph, the emcee made the crowd feel at home for sure.
He later introduced the lyrical dance on Worthy is The Lamb song. It was a moving dance, accompanied by two guys with flags. I was pretty sure the crowd was paying full attention to the whole dance.
What's more impressing is at the end when all the dancers put their hands together to use pieces of satin cloth to form a fan. Seeing the coordination of them swapping places from one end to another, just makes you feel like being a part of the dance. It was really impressive.
Joseph then introduced Joe Loy and the Warehouse Project, our invited guest singer. The band did a few numbers, featuring Stop and Stare and some of their own produced songs. I have to be honest, during the rehearsal, I thought the singing was a little off here and there, but I definitely can't doubt their talent. They did perfectly well during the real thing, hyping up the crowd. You gotta admit, everyone's up for good singing and music.
Performances are almost never ending. After the few numbers they did, the crowd applauded profusely. The whole hall became pitch black again while curtains are being closed. The crowd must be wondering, "What's next?". The drama team now getting ready for the drama. The drama, originally named Redeemed, was changed to Measure Up by the committee. Consist of 6 actors, they played different roles in different scenes.It was written to be an emo, yet meaningful play. It ended with a heroic escape from death. I thought the drama could be better in so many other ways but it still brought the message - the message of Christ - across, I believe.
Pastor Rose took over the stage to share the gospel in respond to all the performances that night, basing on the drama as well. It was a meaningful preaching that is relative to the lives of students that were attending the event that evening.
As soon as she finished preaching, the worship team took over the stage and started Praise and Worship. It was one of the main highlights that night. They were singing their hearts out, leading the people in praise and worship to the Almighty God. People were all hyped up and moving together with the songs. Some of the CF people were actually jumping and dancing to the song.
The event ended at roughly 10.30pm and people can be seen leaving with a satisfied heart. The crew was of course busy packing up their very own props, instruments, rubbish and everything else. It was a great experience for those who were involved that night. After months and months of hard work and practices, it finally paid off.
Well, all good things will come to an end. Come to think of it, it kinda seem like after so many practices, it all ended in about 2 hours. Having said so, without those practices, that evening wouldn't be as successful as it was. A great BRAVO to the planning committee for organizing the whole event and praise God for guiding everyone involved that night. I believe the seed is planted and it will be harvested in due time.
