We arrived at 14:00, and waited roughly two hours while Mrs. Ester and her spouse were coordinating their staffs to set up the stage. We could not just stand and do nothing so when opportunity arrived, I get to help them a little on stage.
About 16:00 when the competitions have finished, we came in and brought our show to the audience, while the juries were calculating the scores.
I could tell that most of us were quite nervous performing live on stage before the public. Gabe were good with his Nocturne play even though he did miss a note. The second song was Eccosaise. He lost some notes there he had to stop for a second, but he managed to smoothly slip right back on track and finish the song.
Overall this was not close to our best performance. Nevertheless it’s a valuable and rewarding experience for all of us. I personally enjoyed the whole show, especially soundtracks from Jay Zhou’s the Secret movie. A timeless jewel of musical experience imo.

On our way home, Gabe said enthusiastically, “Next time I want to play in a bigger mall, pa!”
“Yes, we’ll do that..” I replied with the same tone.
