Oops, I forgot what happened at last Friday's practice. Let me think...
Mdm Yanti was in charge, she's back after having her baby! Omg Vanessa actually came today. Sounds unfamiliar? That's because she hasn't been coming since forever, so I never wrote anything about my junior, who's not my junior anymore. I think we warmed up together first then Sec 1s went to music room while we stayed in band room.
The usual stuff... In the last hour of practice or so, Mr Yeo left the juniors to do sectionals while he came to take a look at us. Before practice ended, we went over to see the Sec 1s perform for us! Now that Vanessa is on tenor saxophone, Jun Yuan (eupho) is the only lower brass player left (no tubist) so he got quite a lot of 'solo' in Chorus of Frogs, haha. He's quite good (or maybe the rest are not good). Jaslyn you better be proud of him! Then Mdm Yanti said that they're gonna change uniform, omg. Hello, which band changes uniform after one year?! People only change after a few years -.- For more than a decade, we've been using the same uniform. Only last year we changed to the long sleeve ugly uniform. Then, Hong Kong Winter Band Festival, it's $700. Later she said those who've gone on school overseas trips before have no subsidy so it's $1000 -.- And finally news about the SYF photos! The order wasn't processed so we get our money back -.- Couldn't they have returned us the money earlier, it's more than a year already! Even this year's Sec 4s left already, let alone LAST YEAR'S sec 4s. ...
Today, we had marching in the ISH because it was raining and the groung was wet. Half way, those basketballers barged in and we were forced to leave even though we haven't marched for 45min. What the heck is that? We got the key to the ISH -.- Darryl came back. He came at 9+ and Cliff came too. After warm up (they came in the middle of warm up) woodwinds went to music room while we brasses stayed in the band room. Actually that's not because woodwinds are easier to shift like what Mr Yeo said before, it's because I didn't wear socks today and you're supposed to remove your shoes in the music room, HAHA! Darryl took us while Cliff took the woodwinds. They are like our Mr Yeo and Mr Yu today :) But the brasses didn't last long, cos they irritated Darryl with their attitude and their playing so we had sectionals. Trombones shifted in front, but still very noisy. Darryl taught us :) Mostly Procession To Peace, the entire song. So today, I learnt that the starting part where we have only a few notes should be bell tone. And PTP is supposed to be a cute song? Benjamin still cannot count 2 bars before H. Seriously what's his problem?! Already clap tempo still can lag like no one's business, and it's so freaking obvious. Heh, I think after leaving us Darryl's attitude improved already. It's ironic... Then we played Symphonium the starting only. Then he took a eupho out to help me with Kevin's solo. Omg when he take out the eupho and put there and go wash mouthpiece I felt like crying when I saw it. Suddenly entire mood change like mood swing but luckily it didn't last long. Last time eupho took the solo from me, then now he's using a eupho, it's like an insult to me. I could play the G a few times today. Then combine both songs, Darryl played with Benjamin (with the eupho) in Procession to Peace. When came to Symphonium, I ask him to play for me, so he sit beside me and play with me. When came to the solo, omg, we're not together, and he... doesn't know how to play. I thought he does cos he played with a trombone before... No energy already, last few bars never play, he also never play. Nothing unusual because I'm always tired. If I'm more tired then I skip the last few bars. -.- Then whether he play with me or not no difference what! Oh ya, he looks like he didn't wear socks also, but I think have, haha. Got back the damn money for the SYF photo today. Darryl didn't even know he paid. I took for Kevin! I'm going to see him on 18 June for lunch with Darryl and Cai Yan (2008 section)! YAY!!! ♥♥♥ I owe you a treat! :D
