BIBA PRESS HIGHLIGHT:
Get Loud: Foyer Bands at the 2022 BIBA Concert
By Howie Li, G11L
The 2022 BIBA ‘Winter’ Concert kicked off at 6:30 PM as the two foyer hosts greeted the audience.
Band members and hosts arrived Shunyifornia in two groups, one group at 8:30 AM and another group (mostly band members) at 12: 25 PM. Stiff sandwich and measly pizza slices were served as lunch and dinner respectively. The last rehearsals started at 1:20 PM and followed the opposite order of the actual performance, starting from the last band on the list (Pop Tart).
The actual performances start at 5: 30 and end at 6: 30, with one temporarily added host intro and an accompanying band.
The BIBA Press exclusively acquired a booklet of foyer band performances. The bands and their performances are as the following:

If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
