YO HAD A GREAT TIME YESTERDAY!!XD
Yesterday I had to wake up early..well ealier than usual cos I was gg back to my primary school band. Yay finally! Hahas anyway I met Yilin at school at abt 9.30..yeah and we went to find them..they were practising in the AVA room. Haha I was so nervous to go in lor. Then Yilin just kept asking me to go in so we went. Only Mr Paul was there! When we went in almost the whole band looked at us and my brother and his two friends kept pointing at us. =.=Well I had a good look at my trombone section and it comprised of people that I dunno!!! All juniors except some that were from the euphonium section..which I know luh. Mr Paul just ignored us and continued instructing. So Yilin and I went out and went to find the percussion.
The percussion were like playing the same piece over and over and over again!!! Driving us almost mad....The same tune playing over and over again that we had to escape from that room once in a while. Oh but we played the xylophones and marimbars also..quite fun luh..And there's this percussion girl who kept making funny faces like monkeys or purring like cats..oh man so funny! She's a junior so I didn't know her that well..Then Marcus came and also stayed with the percussion. I was very tempted to play the drumset. I tried learning the rhythm mentally but I didn't try it out. T.T Then yilin and I just wandered about and didn't go into the AVA room..just around it. Then lunch time we stayed to eat also..was nasi lemak. Tastes ok luh..at least not like last year plain rice with dunno what meat..Urgh I didn't eat that much last time haha! And Mrs Siah the band teacher in charge brought her daughter to school and she's so cute! She was playing dora the explorer lego set and talking to herself while she 'set up' the legos. Then we went back to the AVA room with the other band memebers and found a place to sit while they were practising. Then Mr Paul came in again. Turned out that Mr Ng didn't come. Haiz.
Then they had sectionals and of course Yilin and I followed the trombones to our special trombone place! Haha. We kind of took charge and asked them to play their competition set piece one by one. And listened. Gave the current sectional leader a break. Raqiib and Hazim the only 2 boys entertained us and made some funny sounds that had us in hysterics. LOLs. I think our section is the funniest..then we exchanged phone numbers and emails..and went back to the AVA room. We listened to them play the set piece (sunset by lakeside) as a whole band and it is quite nice..some parts are like the secondary school set piece this year like "sunrise and night safari" . They had to make animal and insect noises also like night safari! And there's a part that sounds like sunrise..
Then Mr Paul let us watch a video on a professional band called 'blast'. Haha! It's a kind of marching adult band and it really performs. Like walking about and playing their instruments and performing tricks..I like the trombone player..he can cycle on one wheel and play his trombone at the same time! Amazing like some circus people. And I like the drummers also..Then after the video they were talking about today's band exchange at xingnan primary and what to bring so on..and they had to pack up and clean the room. Hahas kind of sad cos afterall this WAS the band that i belonged to..and seeing it progress so much is indeed comforting..:D
Later,
