I brought my trombone back! :D My trombone is 49 inches, one position is about 3 inches apart. And, CH damn rocks! My trombone with the slide extended all the way (means past position 7) is 76 inches. I calculated and in cm, it's 190cm! OMG! First thing I thought of: Same height as Cheng Heng. CH's hand's as long as the slide, and he same height as the whole trombone! Damn cool!
SYF's tomorrow. GO TROMBONE SECTION! Hopefully you realise all the staccatos and everything. I tell Darryl he never play the staccatos then he don't believe. Wanna get what Gold like that? Can't he be like CH? People tell him then he correct the mistake la. People tell him then he say don't have -.- Hopeless la. I don't care anymore. Because of him, points are going to be deducted, just because he THINKS he's playing correctly. Wth, SL -.- CH would be a good SL after SYF. Just hope that he wakes up and play properly tomorrow, which is almost impossible.
We must get Silver of more than 73% because during the 2nd National Band Competition, they got around 72/73% and same for Genting Competition, which means NO improvement. We better improve this time. If not I'll be even more depressed and cry even more than in Genting. Well, I might even hold a grudge against him...
Last year I blamed myself because before the competition I practised then I couldn't pitch the high notes during the actual thing. I probably won't blame myself this year. I'm more aware now, and more well prepared now. I will not tire myself out before the competition. Who knows who I will blame this time. And by the way, eupho is still playing wrong notes now -.- What's more during the melody, and play so loud also. Starting part also. WTF, that one confirm minus marks. Idiot! Can't these kinda people just get out of the band?!
The band is as good as its weakest player. This is the line that made me cry my eyes almost dry. But tomorrow, I will not be the weakest player. This line will not make me depressed. This line will not have any effect on me. I will be the strongest player as much as possible. I will be proud of my playing. If I am disappointed, only a small percentage of it will be my fault, because I will play music with all my heart. I will not be angry at myself unless I screw up, which is 1% (out of 100%) possible. I am a Gold player. But the results don't depend on only one person, it depends on everyone together. If I play well and we get a Silver, it just means that others are Silver players. I will only be disappointed in their selfish ways (of not working for it) for making everyone, including those who worked hard, get a Silver. But I know I've done my best in my life. I have never put all my heart and so much commitment and hard work into anything else but this. I will do my best. I will do my seniors proud. I will do NAS Band proud. I will do myself proud. Tomorrow is the day, it's a matter of life and death. So everyone just work hard and there'll be no one to blame because then, we are all selfless and committed, we are all Gold players. No matter what, NAS Band is still one band. Gold is our attitude.
