The final played out in two days at the Gusman Concert Hall. Six kids made it. The organizer divided them into two groups, three tonight and the rest of three tomorrow afternoon. The link up on Saturday is:
- William Ge
- Angeline Ma
- Anthony Ratinov
Parking again, is problematic. There are at least three signs.
The organizer sent us an email, directing us to park at a garage but the attendant, an elderly gentleman looking puzzled, then said, “we’re across the lake from the Hall.” Then gives us the direction to the purple parking lot near the Gusman Concert Hall.
As soon as I get off, I see a valet parking sign and a few men huddling around a sign with their phones in hand. Inside, there is another sign, asking the patrons “Did you remember to pay for parking?”
I think that’s it for me. Hopefully the next one, in five years, will be hosted elsewhere or they got to improve their act.
Among the three kids, I like the last one, Ratinov who’s far more polished.
We didn’t get the Sunday ticket because someone has an event to go. The winning order is:
- William Yang – 1st Prize
- Anthony Ratinov – 2nd Prize
- Nathaniel Zhang – 3rd Prize
- Angeline Ma – 4th Prize
- William Ge – 5th Prize
- Angie Zhang – 6th Prize
Good luck in Warsaw, kids!
