Band practice today! I joined in marching despite my knee injury, so obviously it wasn't as good as usual. A bit painful. I noticed that Kevin marches very... hard, haha. He looks like he's stamping his feet :D It was around 9am we went upstairs and warm up. Actually, it's not really warm up, it's blending the sounds. No warm up today, but can consider that as warm up. Wah, play semiquavers Bb, A for 2 counts per bar then the other 2 counts hold Bb. Whoo...
At 9.20am we went out for sectionals. Kevin stayed inside and oil his slide. Suky came shortly and stayed for the whole practice, yay! She's very hyper, never seen anything like it... :O She talk half way can suddenly "HAHAHA!" and throw her hands in the air, haha! I see her I also want to laugh :D Add some fun to sectionals :) We practised Symphonium. Kevin mainly play his solo. (Did he even play anything else? I don't remember hearing any other part...) I played my 2nd trombone, first page only. When Suky teaching my juniors I also go listen, heheh, they don't know how to give 1 bar of nothing like " 1 2 3 4" -.- They stunned, haha. Her teaching style different from my seniors and mine eh... Of course, my style is acquired from MY seniors :) She doesn't clap tempo, and she doesn't tell you where to start playing. So you're free to practise what you want, she listens and corrects. Of course my juniors are totally clueless so I have to "Play from beginning, 1 2 3 4!" for them la... I'm also not used to this actually. No one's taught me since around April last year, even if my senior suddenly goes "Play here, 1 2 3 4!" I will also not be clueless, but hers is like, huh??? Not used to it, haha.
Kevin's using the trombone Suky used :O She remembers it by the damage not the number : After a while, we went in for combined practice. Suky sat between Benjamin and the tubas. Kevin could play the high high G during sectionals but now he's tired already so he can't pitch. He's quite unhappy, I can understand the feeling. After all, I've been through it... Poor thing... So I kept on going "Jia you! Jia you!" for him, haha, hoping it at least makes him feel slightly better. Hope it doesn't 反效果 and make him feel worse :s I can tell he's practising very hard already! That Mr Yeo everyday only know how to insult people. Just because my senior is tired and mispitch the HIGH HIGH G, he said if he cannot play, will give it to other people to play, as if he slack and damn lousy. BUT HE IS VERY HARDWORKING OK!!! HE PRACTISE SO HARD STILL GET SCOLDED FOR WHAT?! For secondary school level he is very good already! AND THEN HE IS ALREADY SO UNHAPPY AND HE GO ADD TO IT BY INSULTING HIM AND TELLING HIM TO PRACTISE SOME MORE. OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE, IS HE NOT PRACTISING ENOUGH?! He didn't even see Kevin when he was practising and playing the G la! Still wanna talk like he was born a professional tubists can play solo in high school. -.- -.- -.- Damn pissed off, and damn heart pain for Kevin too :( GO KEVIN!!!!! Lots of love :)
