There
was an technical problem with the audio system... The young
performers took the opportunity to meet with District Judge
Mel Okamoto, one of the honored panel guests. |
"The
man behind the curtains", program coordinator Ba
Vovan was quick on his feet to rectify the audio problem
by using a remote mic and a backup tape player to broadcast
the music! It worked like a charm, the crowd didn't even
noticed.
Good thinking!
