"Money" bands Memorial (inside the dollar symbol performance fee)

2010-1-Saturday, Microsoft Research Asia "money" and the band, is a special day.

On this day, the IT Manager's World magazine, we invited the team to form less than a year of "United Nations mixed forces", and finally ushered in the first formal external performance. And I, as a new Member of the band, or is about to usher in the life of the first stage, but as a band of English lead singer. Although as researchers I have in various international conferences do many times academic lectures, but expect to be in a completely different arena show another self, or they sell it and nervous.

At 11 a.m., the band went to the show start at Shangri-La Hotel, skilled configure instruments, adjust the mix ...

To this end, the band every week in Sigma's largest conference room carefully rehearsal. So every Thursday evening in the company overtime will hear from the "compass" meeting room "now came slightly messy" drum, acoustic guitar and singing. The band's members are researchers, usually work seriously, a slab. As doing research, the band usually rehearsal is meticulous. Each end of the rehearsal, the band's keyboard player Frank will put the recorded sound files by songs cut, sent us all members of the "fupan" checks.

Live performance excerpts: from audience filmed a video

And while we're at the gap band, I secretly observing at the venue.

Site layout is very impressive, red carpet,red stage, there are a host of colourful Red clothes. Musical instruments with good after, the band guitarist Lintao signaled auditioning for two songs. Me and the band's English lead singer Sakai Jun face underneath the open seats, small on a "knife". Feeling nervous and some mitigation, a feeling of excitement over the heart, on the night of the show, but there are a number of background. At noon, everyone in the adjacent hot pot city, bustling ate.

Dinner begins, the venue was packed.

Our two beautiful harmony Bridget and Nannan after an hour of dressed and has a beautiful appearance: a tall, blonde hair short skirts, sexy sheer; one is pure black suit, with shiny bracelet, pure and lovely. On their appearance, everyone was amazed at the dinner was wonderful! though, but since I was the lead singer Sakai and, faced with the sweet and delicious dishes, we did not dare touch chopsticks. In front of a program is made up of four black woman performances of classical music, all black dress, elegant standard action. See their very professional performance, I worried that ask Frank felt that their performances, Frank said, don't worry, our people more than they, certainly better than them, haha. Yasu and Matt has said that our Orchestra has the advantage of "diversity", we just want to wear all kinds of clothes, preaching his own personality. Lintao also said that we are a Team, we have a team spirit.

Sakai passion play

Wait until the host announced the next there will be an "international band" passion on stage, suddenly a warm atmosphere.

Perhaps it is because a whole afternoon, the audience is tired and need a shock performance to rekindle atmosphere. Finally we came to be, a riot scene. This helped the band members appear although "clothing" not very professional but were alive, full of personality, passion. The band's first song from Japan's Sakai Jun "Baby" PlugIn. "I'm tired of giving, My plug inbaby ..." in Sakai, clear high voice, the audience listening to the passion of the researchers. Sakai, not just English lead singer, but also a very accomplished guitarist, has written for many bands wrote songs. Recently, he also is a Microsoft Research Asia special authoring a song for the first home, a man played a kind of author, singer, producer, etc. all roles. It is said that this was after he joined the Institute, explained to the Dean hung xiaowen he first task. As a researcher, usually work without passion, life also need passion. If not full of passionTo life, how can create full of novelty of the innovation Institute of this outcome? lovely researchers, deeply understand this point. I think we are in such a way as to bring its boundless creativity, promote our passion. This is also the reason why Microsoft became "innovation dream factory" reasons!

Tao are unable to perform "gangsters"

Introduction to the band leader Lintao from Japan Tokyo Yasu, beneath the girl was given a scream — the original researcher can also be so handsome!, of course, there are more cool drummer Bennett.

It's hard to imagine that in Stamford school he also jet-black hair "pretty." Bennett's performance today is hard, when I'm at rehearsal worry not hear his drums, I think this guy's must have been because his girlfriend at this point is the audience for his rousing it! original who love can burst into this amazing energy!

That I came, Sakai put Mike gave me.

Makena, I'm just saying "ashamed", no more language, no further introduction. Guitarist Guowei started crazy short prelude. "The crowd sea and see you, as beautiful as charming, ..." the first "air" will bring to the climax of the performance. I know, although I am not a professional singer, but I hope that through the hoarse voice tell people wild, "no longer believe that no longer recall, this is not my" in the past, I'll do it for me. In fact, I always look forward to a very passionate about life. I wild roar on the stage, totally forget the feeling of tension; the light playing on my body, see underneath the audience roars for me, my mood tempestuous suddenly, this moment, the passion that erupted after the end of the day! sponsor staff and I said, when I sing "unique passion, everyone was high; later they themselves go KTV, each of the guys have put that song again!, they do not believe that this is my first time on stage singing. In fact, I don't believe I had burst out of this energy, I think this is the power of passion! is MSRA (Microsoft Research Asia abbreviation), is the "money" and the band gave me the passion!

In the audience excited screams, the band ended the first successful "business".

Party sponsor will prepare a meditation on the spot of souvenirs to band members to thank our wonderful and contains the passion of the show. In this souvenir, a band of each Member of the photo, there is a mosaic of "dollar" coins — this is actually a symbol of the band's name — the "money".

This helped the researchers, in another splendid arena, achieved his vision — "the arena, passion for life".

Maybe next time, they also appear in a larger, broader arena ...
