Just went to a mini-concert tonight….. A concert sponsored by my college organization in my university.
A blockmate (classmate) of mine is one of the performers. She’s the lead guitarist of her band.
Due to some technical difficulties, they were not able to perform right away.
While fixing the problem, some rude guy started shouting along with his friends. They wanted them to start right away.
The band performed quite well. They also sang songs that I knew like Crush & Ignorance by Paramore then Especially for you by MYMP (Don’t know the original singer of this song).
But the worst part is, while performing, the boys sitting at the back started booing at them because they wanted something more louder than what the band was performing.
They were also booing at the band…. Tsk… Quite rude right?
But what bothered me was that I was more irritated of the boys sitting at the back than the vocalist of the band ever was.
Poor girl… What if I was in her situation? I would definitely lose my cool and start shouting cuss words on their faces.
She just continued performing like nothing happened. Props to her for being like that.
And I also felt sorry for my blockmate. They didn’t deserve a treatment like that.
The band was so professional. They didn’t mind the rude behavior displayed by some of the audience.
And the boys sitting at my back. Were they really upperclassmen? Or better yet.. Were they really Psychology majors? I thought Psych majors are supposed to be mature. And they also smelled like cigarette. I doubt that those students were Ateneans or students of XU.
I can probably compare what happened tonight to what happened during the silent protest while SNSD was performing in the 2008 Dream Concert. Rude Antis boycotting their performance. True, They did something wrong because of their misbehavior but they didn’t deserved to be booed or boycotted by thousands or millions of people. And their fans are the ones to be blamed because they were the ones who cause the ruckus during the concert. It’s good that they continued performing while the audience were silent and some booing at them. That is how true professionals act. Truly, a Valiant effort.
Arrrghh…. Tonight’s event really irked me.. Tsk….
