Performance for the ICA Global Youth Conference

Date of Performance: 15th October 2007 (Monday)

Sounds Easy was delighted to be part of the The International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) Youth Conference that was held between the 14-15 October 2007. We were invited to sing for their farewell dinner, which as held at DXO, a club house at the Esplanade.

We were contacted by Wen Wen from ICA several months before the event, and she requested that we sing songs in English, as the audience came from different parts of the world. Concentrating on the theme of love and friendship, Sounds Easy presented the following in a cappella style: (1)Medley of "Heaven is a place on Earth" and "I think we're alone now", (2)"I’ll Be There For You” (originally by the The Rembrandts), (3) "Thank you" (originally by Dido) and (4) "Stand by Me"(originally by Ben E King). The audience were very lively, and gave us warm applauses, especially during "Stand by Me", possibly because it was familiar to most of them. After the show,we were invited to join in the party as well.

There were also many firsts for Sounds Easy during this event. This was our maiden a cappella performance at a club, which is typically reserved for dance music. Sounds Easy also donned a new set of costumes - ladies in light green dresses and guys with matching dark green shirts and light khaki pants combination. These "maiden" experiences made this show a truly memorable one.
