Sunday, April 17 ♥

Remember these??

1st I said this

"As we all know, Canberra Band is lousy. But we had an exchange programme with two other established bands. I told my band, " We're gonna embarrace ourselves there." And we certainly did! YAY!! I WAS RIGHT!!
Kranji Band was the first to perform their competition pieces. Of course, they were good. Followed by Canberra Band....Oh my gawd....I juz have to mention this.It was HORRENDOUS!!I just don't wanna go in detail what went wrong, coz' it's just too much! Really really embarracing...paisey...malu....BOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

2ndly i said this

"Yesterday's band practice was like a nagging session. You noe teachers nag rite...And one of them who nagged was me. Really felt irritated with the band's attitude towards music. 13 April!!Competition!!!!Arghhh!!! And this wasn't the kind of reaction i got frm the band.Worst. Playing next after a gold medal band. Hiakkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!! And the band wasn't moved."

3rdly i SAID this

"Canberra Band -bleaaaxx- Alot of wrong notes. Didn't follow the conductor. Rushing thru and slowin down like nobody's business. Ok lah straight to e point.

AND Besides the point.
No sense of urgency. No unity. No pride.
The bulk of us is good. But a small bunch of them are so..." I wanna punch your face"
Mdm Tan was SOOOOPERRR ANGRY...that
She cried.
Even my face, from white turn black sia....so pissed off ..grr..The leaders are trying our best, comin out with ideas to wake the band up.I'll update on that later, after this afternoon's band practice. We'll see some drama....To be continued...*******************************Continued...

The best part was, when Fiona came out to reflect, she cried. That was when everybody else started crying.And the bestest part of all...
I CRIED.
Alot of drama sia...Even i don't know why i cried. Guilty? Guilty for wat? Self-pity? Nah..Maybe just letting the frustrations and hindrance out.After the flooding and all..we started sectional practice. Definitely more motivated and enthusiastic.When there's combine practice, the band sounded much better...We just have to tackle the pshycological part...self-confidence-To be able to perform.11 more practices to SYF.Do u think the band can make it. At least a medal. No C.O.P.And please...you won't wanna see me cry.... "

*******************************
Now, Band SYF is FINALLY over. 13th April 2005 shall be kept as memories (Well..the parts b4 13th April are more memorable, indeed.)

As we all thought, Canberra Band will emerge gettin Certificate of Participation(C.O.P)

Hey..Bronze..It's an achievement ok. First time SYF. Not established. Majority are players from sec 2. Wow..Bravo ah!
