The concert started at 7.30, so we had dinner first at a Japanese restaurant near the premise. Girlet was a little nervous so she didn't eat much, even though we ordered her favourite dishes.
After a few other performances, it was Girlet's turn. She started with a duet with her teacher playing 'Firefly'. Being her first performance, her teacher thought that would calm her somewhat. Which it did.
Then she played three solo pieces, The Juggler, Kite in the Sky, and Lightly Row, all with only a couple of mistakes. She didn't pause but just continued playing. Look at her very serious expression. When I asked her later why she was so serious, she said she was concentrating very hard, and forgot to smile. 
With some of the other performers.
Anyway, she was very motivated to see the older kids playing so well, that after her concert she continued practising the piano pieces. Let's hope she maintains the momentum.
Edit : Finally found out how to download the video to the blog. Actually, downloading was easy, it was the getting around to find out that took a long time.

good job, girlet !! way to go. why all the other performers so much older wan, ar? She is the only one in her grade?
Thanks everyone. We're just glad she didn't back out or make a fuss before the concert. We're also surprised that she's the youngest there, although she's been learning piano for 1 year already. Before that she did kindermusik and pre-keyboard classes. Our intention is for her to learn to enjoy playing, and not exam oriented.
And mommy did record it but haven't learn how to download. haha....
