I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!:D
Band practice today!!:D I arrived late. I arrived in school at 8+. In the bus 72, the air-con broke down, then the bus captain stopped and called someone to inform him/her about it and that someone complained. He said it was reaching the interchange already, then I heard the person on the other side saying in Mandarin" Going to reach the interchange already? ...Then let them complain..." If it was already going to reach the interchange then it wouldn't matter that much right? And then at bus stops he wouldn't let people board the bus just because the air-con broke down. At 1 stop, there were a number of people who wanted to board the bus. And at another stop there was a woman there. The driver opened the door and said "No air-con, no air-con." She said it didn't matter but he closed the door after that and she was knocking the door but he wouldn't let her in. Then later in the bus 291, the road was crowded so I was delayed again. So I was a few minutes late but some seniors were later. I don't know if they came earlier then went out again or if they arrived later than me.
Actually at the bus interchange, I sent Jaslyn a message asking her to please wait for me if I was late. Then when I reached school, I called her but her handphone was switched off. Then I called Xue Qi but her handphone wasn't with her, it was with her auntie I think because when someone answered the phone, she said something about the phone with Xue Qi's aunt. Later when I asked Jaslyn if she received an sms, she said her phone was off.
Today we combined with Seniors at first for a while. None of Jaslyn's Euphonium seniors came so she sat with me. I heard My Yeo shout"What the *toot*!" but later I thought he said something 'file'. Then I told Jaslyn, she said he did. I was like"He did??" Then I was going to set up my music stand but I was also holding my Trombone, so I asked her to hold it for me while I set up the stand. So she was holding the Trombone and I was setting up my stand when Mr Yeo went there. Then he told her, pointing in Darryl's direction,"Your senior is sitting there, I don't know why you are sitting here." Then we were like so surprise, she was like"Where??" then she look there and he said"Oh I thought you're playing Trombone." Haha! But actually, even if she's playing Trombone, why must she sit beside Senior? She can also sit beside another junior right?
After that Seniors played something, Mr Yeo said if the sec 1s don't know what to do then just watch the seniors. I saw the score sheet all the notes are low, from B flat downwards. That's warm-up I think. Then he asked them to play B flat Major scale and the juniors also played. Then move on to E flat Major scale and some other scales, then me and Jaslyn were like "Huh? What's that? What's that?" very lost. Then I saw the 2 French Horn juniors didn't play so we also didn't play. So embarrassing! Haha! Xue Qi said she didn't know what to do so she was just faking. Haha, but I think Mr Yeo could tell because she was right in front! Oh, and my score sheet, which I didn't use, kept flying to Darryl because the wind blew! We played something new, Mary Had A Little Lamb.
After a while, we went to the M-Learning Room. Ms Leong asked us to decide on our solo pieces from Standard Of Excellence book and our duet pieces also from the book, for our recital on 5th July. I chose song 116, Alouette and actually I suggested Sakura as the duet piece with Jaslyn but she didn't want it. So we asked Ms Leong to decide for us from the 2 shortlisted song, number 24, Lightly Row and number 32, Jolly Old St Nicholas. So she got us to play both and chose 32. She said I have to give the queue to start together.
Then we all played together the songs that each of us chose for solo, then we stand in front one by one and play our own songs. My Trombone slide needs oil, and when it was my turn, I didn't play properly, but when I went back and practiced, I could play properly without stopping-.- Yeah, that's about it, bye! There's Band practice on Friday and it's Cai Yan's birthday on Friday!:D
