I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!:D
Band practice today! :D I was slightly later than usual and I saw Darryl in the bus! :O When I saw him at the bus stop one stop from the interchange, I was like so surprised because I thought he walks to school although I've never seen him walk to school, and he sat at the seat right in front of me! :O
When I reached school, Xue Qi and Jaslyn were already there and Xue Qi had the card key and steel key to the M-Learning Room but she didn't open the door. Apparently she was waiting for me. So the three of us went to open the door. I managed to open the door but we couldn't open the steel gate inside. And I found out, after the card key unlocks the door, you must quickly unlock it with the steel key or the light there will turn red and it'll make a sound like an alarm. That was what happened so I closed the door and tried again. For the steel gate, the key could go in but we couldn't turn the key.
While we were trying to open the steel gate, the PA system had announcement saying national anthem was starting soon, then I got a shock, haha. Then while we were still trying to open the steel gate, the national anthem started but people were still walking and Darryl and James also. Then we were standing there and it's like so awkward so I said something. First time I do that during national anthem. In the end we went to set up our instruments first and Xue Qi went to tell Cliff it couldn't be opened. Then when we came back, it was open.
Ms Leong was late by 30min again. We practiced Montego Bay and Frere Jacques. Ms Leong doesn't know how to spell Frere Jacques. She spelled Feres Jacques on the white board haha! Half way through practice, a tuba needed oil. So he went to look for his senior in the canteen. I don't know how they look for their seniors. It's like they are practicing in the canteen half then you just go and there and ask for oil? Then Ms Leong said we must maintain our instrument. I asked her Trombones also can use that right? Actually I already knew Trombones can use that but that was an indirect way of telling I want to use it. Then she asked the senior and they both said no-.- When Cai Yan taught me how to oil my slide she also used that one. All the instruments can use that I think. But anyway, because of that, I didn't oil my instrument. I was thinking of doing so during the break but I didn't.
I'm going to have a duet with Xue Qi- Jolly Old St Nicholas. actually supposed to have the duet with Jaslyn but as I said, she is louder than me, so Xue Qi is taking her place. But at the end of Band practice Ms Leong was counting how many duet, she counted me twice were surprised. Then when I told her Jaslyn isn't playing she asked why and someone said because I'm too soft. I didn't even say anything ans she said that's not a good excuse-.- What the heck man! What's a duet if you only can hear one player?-.- If she wants her to play that much then why not just give her two solos? Why make me unhappy? Some people are only playing twice- combined and solo. But me? I'm doing the most, 4, - combined, solo, duet and duet. Why in the world would anyone want to hear to pairs doing the same song and with one person doing it twice? And if it's at the end I might be tired from playing the combined and solo piece in front. If it's in front then I might be tired from playing so much until the combined piece I can't play well. Urghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
At the end of practice, we played our solo pieces. And before I started I asked her when I could get to oil my instrument. She asked me really need ah? Of course when I need, I really need it right? Can't be fake. I MUST oil my instrument on Friday!! And I'm going to object to my doing two duets!
