13th Hong Kong Synergy 24 Drum Competition - Part 2

After the first round competitions, the final itself was inside the TST Cultural Centre.  Luckily, unlike with normal shows, they do allow photography during the drum competition.  I was too far away to get really good pictures but I managed to snap a few anyway.

As always, it was amazing to watch the chinese drums.  It never ceases to amaze me how good a bunch of primary school kids can be.

As with last year, Gerry's drum team came first.  That's two years in a row that they've come first now!

13th Hong Kong Synergy 24 Drum Competition - Part 1

Recently, Gerry's school drum team took part in the annual HK Synergy 24 Drum Competition.  The first rounds are played in an open environment so I was able to go along and take some pictures.

The finals took place inside the Cultural Centre and I'll post pics of that next week.
