Band practice today! I went upstairs at 2.40pm. I thought the door would be unlocked already and I wanted to go and set up the things, but in the end we waited until a few minutes past 3pm. When the door was finally unlocked I went in and set up my trombone. Warm ups-Chromatic Low Tones and Total Training. The Total Training dropped on the bowl and got wet. I took tissue paper to clean it. Lonely again today...
We started with A Monmouth Overture. The starting part is played by eupho, saxophone and horn. Then when Mr Yeo asked them to play and they play, CH gave a very exaggerated look to show that it sounds horrible and I stared at him when he was doing that. Hahaha! After a while, we went for sectionals. Darryl said eco garden got echo so he went to the place outside the classrooms where the papers flew everywhere. We did A Monmouth Overture. He asked me to listen to tuba at bar 31 then I said I know already. I don't want to depend on other sections to learn my part. Anyway, suddenly some wind came and we all held our stands and they didn't drop! :D Then water came down from on top?!?! Luckily CH wasn't standing behind a bit, or he'd have gotten wet. Then Mr Yeo came to teach trumpet...
We practising half way, Mr Yeo came, and teach me -.- From bar 46 until a few bars before 57. He said I'm like driving a Ferrari with only one cup of fuel. Once he told me to blow air into the trombone only. But I kept accidentally buzzing,so he ask me take out mouthpiece and blow into the receiver. I didn't want to because it was green and I said that. Then he say just don't lick it la. But I still didn't want to. So he told me to buzz. I buzzed all the notes correctly then he said I managed to get all the notes and he was surprised, but I need more air. All the way until 5.22pm then go back -.- Then combine I think. I forgot what happened already. Bye.
