Forgive me but they're not just ANY bunch of girls, they're the band from Sekolah Menengan Kebangsaan Sultanah Asma. And they're not just any school band, they've also won the 5th International Music Festival in Giulianova, Italy in 2004.
So, to put it mildly, VI didn't just lose to some girls, they lost to an award winning band from a girls' school.
Where? It all happened at the Merdeka Stadium at the grand finals of the inaugural Kuala Lumpur World Marching Band Competition 2007. They lined up a total of 10 finalists and although Thailand won the competition, Malaysia was in 2nd and 3rd places with Sultanah Asma and VI respectively. They had a panel of 8 international judges (none of whom are from Malaysia) and I agree with their judgement when choosing Sultanah Asma.
Unfortunately I don't have pictures to show but if I did, it wouldn't do justice. Only a movie recording would be able to give justice and show the outstanding performance put up by these three winners.
Sultanah Asma went away with USD10,000 for winning the Malaysian category and being runner's up in the international category while VI amassed USD6,000 (I think) for being runners up in the Malaysian category and being second runners up in the international category.
Patutnya tengok dari awal with all the preliminary rounds and the side competitions, baru best.
It was.. FUN!
Ok, ok.. before anyone asks, here's the link to SMK Sultanah Asma's video. Mind you this wasn't the one at KLWMBC 2007 but the routine was similar, if not the same.
