we’re better.

21/11/08 

ok,so today was st pats open house…band had to perform for like,no one.open house,so little people came,not that i counted,but the amount of people watching us perform was absoulutely pathetic.

and we’re were suppose to start rehersing for the performance at 745,but yeah, thanks to the current main council,with their inability to decide things together,and come to a decision together,things were pretty screwed.ended up starting practice at 830.

well,for most of us.i was running around trying to do things the sec3 council should have done earlier on;getting the sec 1s organised,getting scores ready,and photocopied,and lastly organising the main band.

then i had to help the librarians photocopy scores,probably 40 odd pieces of paper were used…

and i finally managed to have 5 minutes of rehersing my part,and then it was time for performance,nto saying it went well,but better than expected.

we played

1. tales of the emerald isle

2.british invasion

3.oye como va

4.postcards from singapore

5.smoke on the water

and maybe a few other pieces.

sec ones played too,but their sound is seriously damn horrible.my batch were producing much better sounds than them,and playing harder pieces than them by now,and we had also started practicing for POP..theirs is the total opposite.its pretty scary listening to them,and knowing that their going to be seniors next year.my direct juniors are coming in next year,so this years sec ones seriously need to wake up their ideas and get their act together!

anyway, next year,my direct juniors are coming in,that is,my juniors that are 2 years younger than me, and thinking of them coming in is sometimes scary cos being a band major,i have this huge responsibility of taking charge of them.hopefully my council,the current one,can do the job,together with my batch.and its scary cos my directs need to be better than this years sec 1s,cos their directs havent taught them well,so their band quite suck la.so yeah we’re going to be better than our seniors,more organised and definitely more united.

 (i hate the current council in our batch,me,  peter and kent.they cant do shit..asyraf and ryan O were much better council mates)

today,i had to wake up at 630,so i could go to school for sectionals.we were supposed to start at 9am,but since everyone was late,we couldnt start on time and we started at 945am,then ryan garnell,shaqil and me ordered macs..and it came at 1020,and by that time we had already split up for individuals so i went to eat macs.stupid people never give straws or tissues…idiots.then i went back to do some serious practicing,i have a solo during band camp next week…its a test for our choice piece,so the whole band is doing it…
