Band Exchange at Greenridge Sec

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

Hi! (When was the last time I started with 'hi'? Or is it the first time? Haha) Band exchange today at Greenridge Sec Sch, 2nd time, 1st time was last year. It's in the West I heard. I reached just at 7.45am (reporting time) or a bit later because I overslept 20min! The alarm rang at 6am, I woke up and turned it off and slept until about 6.20 when my dad came in and woke me. Know why? Cos my mom's not here, haha. I finished eating at about 7am, so late already. When I reached, Dar was there already, but CH not. I thought he would be there already. After a while, we went upstairs when LR told us to. The reason they were all there is that the staircase shutter was down at first, but later it was open but no one went up. I set up my trombone and took my stand and file. Very funny, and lame. Today I used a mineral water bottle instead my usual one, because I drew musical notes and wrote "BASS TROMBONE" on it. It was given during the 15h challenge. I went out to wash mouthpiece. I put the cap in my pocket (which I don't usually as my usual bottle's cap is attached to the bottle). After that I went back in and thought that the cap was on and put the bottle LYING DOWN on my chair. Then LATER (I didn't even realise it immediately) I saw all the water and then put the cap back -.- My file was there but luckily it doesn't absorb water. So I put my file on the floor and went into the store room. Because I look at Dar and I think he didn't notice, and I don't know what to do. In the store room, Serene setting up her saxophone, then I go tell her. "I dare not go out, because I scared Dar scold." and he walk past me just then... I didn't even know he came in cos my back facing the door. (Since when did I become scared of any of my own seniors -.-) I stayed in there for very long... Jaslyn came in, I told her also. I asked her to help me take the chair and clear the water. Then she don't want at first -.- Go out then come back in because I wasn't with her. She thought must go outside -.- I said just pour in the dustbin (store room). Finally she went to take it in (I was in there all the time, daren't go out) She put the chair there, I tried to shift it to the dustbin then immediately spill on the floor -.- She tried to pour then spill, then I pour and never spill a lot, haha. When she was pouring, I stood against the door so that people won't enter (hopefully) then Brayton go open the door and bang me, haha! -.- Then I thought maybe there's extra chair outside, so I left the chair in the store room and went out, don't have. I went back in and just luckily for me, there's 2 others in there. So I switched with one of them, but still I dare not go out. Ask Serene who was going out already, to help me, and she did. Then I dare to and went out. OMG what is wrong with me?!?!?! Maybe cos I see his face then I scared. Cos you know we're similar in a sense that we sometimes look unhappy (even when we're not). But even so, I was never scared of him...

Cheng Heng came while I was in the store room. LR say don't need stand so I left it there and we left the band room. 2 buses, one for Brass one for Woodwinds. But I heard LR let us brasses go to the other bus, so some brasses went. Cheng Heng sit right at the back row alone :( I thought he'd sit with someone. I sit alone too but that's cos it's only 2 seats so no space for another person but the back in one row. I thought only I would do those kinda lonely things (no choice for me la -.-)... When we reached there, we went to a classroom for warm ups. We did Chromatic Low Tones then Brayton conducted Overture No. 1. He said when Mr Yeo comes we stop. During the song, we just started Part B (Trombone and eupho melody) trombones just played the first note then stop already, cos Mr Yeo came, haha. We tuned and CH, Dar then me. CH and me very sharp and we pull out a lot of the tuning slide, haha. But he's sharper. For once his tuning slide is so much out. Mine not first time la, haha. I put my hp on GPS cos I wanna see where we are, then I took out my hp to see if signal there alr. Dar ask 'did CY just sms u?' I said no, then when I close GPS I saw the message, haha. She asked us if we're going for musart performance. No wonder he asked, cos she said 'You guys'. After that we went to the hall. I didn't sit with my section :( They draw lots again, this time we're 2nd! Last time we're the host, we were 6th (last). Now Greenridge's the host and they're 6th (last), haha! Woodlands Ring 1st. There was WRS, NAS, GSS, Dunearn Sec, Changkat Changi Sec and Orchid Park Sec (Wind Orchestra, nice name).

First round set piece, then break then 2nd round, choice and set piece. Every band played Overture No. 1 except Orchid Park with Overture No. 2. 2nd time I heard it, 1st was at Greenridge here too, when the 3 bands combined during last year's exchange. I played the semiquavers part VERY NICE!!! I don't know how I did but I just did. I don't know it I tongued... I think I did well. During break, I went down but didn't eat anything. There was donut (chocolate I think) and water. Then we went upstairs again. When I went for break I didn't put my trombone w' the rest... Darryl's bass beside CH's tenor, they're SO CUTE! :D Big and small, like mommy and baby!! :D I kept telling Serene 'so cute!' I wanted to put mine there too, but didn't, cos don't know if got space for me to sit there or not. There was a man from Nanyang Academy Of Fine Arts who commented on every band after the 2nd round. When it was our turn, sometimes I can't hear what he said. I didn't hear anything about Monmouth, even if he did comment, I didn't know when he stop talking about Overture and went on to Monmouth :S Overture this time wasn't as good, semiquavers not clear, and some wrong notes. Monmouth, one part was disgusting. 4 bars after 23, I was supposed to play (low) A flat (minim) D (minim) G (minim) C (minim) (position 3, 4, 4, 6) I played G instead of D and it sounded obviously wrong cos the sound is like 'plak' -.- Not just that note. Melody, over pitched 2 Ds to F for a split second then got D... and more mistakes.

We ended late, so there was only Mr Yeo's 3 bands left (the rest left). We got sweets from them :) In the bus (I think dear CH alone again) Darryl came to me and said '17' (?!?!) He put one bunch of sweet in my hand (so many!) then gave the remaining in the packet to the back. At first I thought it's for the band. Then I thought, and realised it's for Trb Sect. He gave it to CH behind :) Why got this odd (opposite of normal, not opp of even) no. 17 ah?! Unless the packet got 51? We're supposed to reach sch by 1pm but 2+ then reach. Dar waited (for CH) because he go tuition then ask CH to bring up the trb for him. (I didn't know what he's waiting for at first, until I saw CH with 2 trbs and Darryl not here. After keeping the stuff, LR let us take sweets given by GSS, I got a jelly cos there obviously isn't enough of everything for the whole band. There were only 30 today I heard. Then left school at 2.30pm! Bye!
I haven't been talking to you for how many days?

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

Yesterday was band exchange programme at our school auditorium with Dunearn Military Band, Greenridge Symphonic Band (both under Mr Yeo too), Teck Whye Concert Band, Woodlands Ring Military Band & Queenstown Concert Band! :D We came at 8am and warm up and practised before they came. They used classrooms to warm ups and Sec 4s brought them here. They all settled down ater 9am. Very full, so some of us had to take their place when they go on stage then when they come back we shift to the next band's place when they go on stage. But our section didn't need, haha. The band leaders drew lots to see who will play first. Liang Rong got last. So 1st: Teck Whye 2nd: Queenstown 3rd Woodlands Ring 4th Dunearn 5th Greenridge 6th Ngee Ann. I'm not sure about the 2nd & 3rd, I think it's like this. First round we play the set piece and our choice piece.Dunearn's choice piece is Pecos Pueblo, the song they played at the exchange at Greenridge Sec. That time we played Novena. Their song's longest, quite good. During Overture No. 1 part B the semiquavers I could hear very clearly, and it's a slur also. So good, they can tongue so fast and it's soft tonguing too. They only got 3 trombonists too, haha. Opposite us, 2 girls one guy and the guy is bass trombonist, haha. So coincidental. I recognise him.

Before we went up, Darryl & CH emptied saliva first in the bowl. We can't keep the bowl on stage. But I emptied on stage before we started haha. Then Darryl look at me. I also did that the day before he never say anything. Shucks, I messed up the first few notes of my melody at B for Overture No. 1 which was so easy! Arghhh! And at A Monmouth Overture our melody somewhere at 112 was messy. I wanted to record but then when I pressed the button the light came on and never record -.- The light has to be on first or else any button will just turn it on -.- i asked Darryl how he played, he said 150 was a success. But 150 is easy... Then he go high 5 CH then CH said "So loud for what? Idiot" -.- After that was break.

Cai Yan was here! Before we started CH said Cai Yan is in the first row but me & Darryl couldn't see her. Chen Hua go put his instrument at my place -.- Then I got nowhere to put mine. Then Cai Yan call me so I just put it beside his which is a bit blocking the way. So sweet, she gimme present! ^_^ I've never gotten anything on Valentines' Day, first one heheh. Got flower, chocolate and a paper :)

There was some food at the canteen, cool. Like tarts and drink but I didn't eat, haha, cos I go toilet then about time already. 10min break only, cos we're behind time. When we go back, 2nd round play choice piece only. This time I managed to record. And I played well! :D But soft even at my melody :( At least I hit the right notes there... I asked Darryl how he played, he's satisfied.

Then the schools started leaving, Sec 4s went to see them off. We started clearing the things on stage. One guy came to me and gave me a present. He said "Ngee Ann Trombone Section. This is from our section, (something something) section." He was mumbling so I couldn't hear the school and section but should be trombone section too. I said thank you and no idea why he said thank you back. So nice of their section :) I got a lot of sweets from band people later, haha, even those I'm not close to and don't talk to.

From Fernandez

From Chien Wai

From Percussion

From Tian Hoe

Thank you all who gave me presents, esp dearest CY and Woodlands Ring Trombone Section ^_^ Happiest Valentines' Day (and first one too) yay! Bye! :D

Determination to succeed

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

I have to work harder and push myself. I have to perfect everything everytime. I can't play badly once and go "Most of the time I can play but somehow not today." I must play well every single time, it has to be "I can always play well and I never play badly."My downfall has already happened once in Genting, and it's because "most of the time I can play but somehow not that day" and that was the day that mattered most. History cannot repeat itself, ever. If I don't make it perfect everytime, the one time I play badly could just be the most important day. How well I played during rehearsals before that does not matter anymore. Once I mess up, it's over. It's the end. It'll be too late to regret, or blame it on bad luck. I've experienced it, I've gone through the heartache, I've shed the tears, it must never happen again. This SYF Central Judging, I must play better. I will work harder. I will play better.

21st Century International Band Competition pictures from the website

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

I went to the 21st Century International Band Festival website http://www.21ccad.com.sg/2008band/en_gallery.htm. It's the Genting competition last year. Actually last year I also went but there was nothing about the competition, only other competitions. But now the results are there, and the pictures also!

This is the trombone & eupho workshop. Is this our workshop or is it another group of people?!?! Should be us la... or else why only 3 pictures?! But don't look like -.- Another time when we watching Japanese bands videos in room 10 I could hear something, I thought it's another trombone workshop in room 11... The one on the left looks like Darryl...

This group of people is the same as those in the previous picture. The one at my place don't look like me one bit.

This one confirm is our workshop, although we're not in this picture -.- But those 3 euphos nearest to the camera is our school eupho section. And I remember the Caucasian on the right.

NAS Band performing on the day of the competition. (I made the picture large but no difference, still so small)

Also NAS Band performing on the day of the competition.

Bye! (I hope that was our workshop, I don't want other people's workshop picture)

Band Practice & CNY Rehearsal

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

19 January 2009 Monday

Last Saturday Ms Leong said there'd be a CNY rehearsal today, so obviously the quintet has to go. But this morning, after assembly, Mr Lim (band teacher) asked all band members to see him. So I went to see him and Ms Ong. Ms Ong said other CCAs are having the whole CCA perform so it's not nice if we only have 5 people perform. And she said, almost every band member will get at least A2 at the end of secondary school because of all the concerts & performances we have. And she thinks it's not fair that only those 5 people get the CCA points and the rest don't, so she asked Mr Yeo and wanted to pick a song that's still fresh so she chose Sesame Street. Then like last year, the band played Incredibles then the 5 came out. So the band will play Sesame Street then the 5 people come out. When she said this my reaction was like "Aaahhh!" Then I kept shaking my head then she said "Rebecca, you shake your head, are you not sure about Sesame Street?" Then I shook my head again. Aaaahhh! Then went for lesson.

At 3pm I went upstairs because Ms Ong said she wants us to run through in the room before going to the hall for the rehearsal. After a while, we went in and set up instruments. I flipped to Sesame Street and shift my stand closer to Cheng Heng. Then he look in his file and said "Ah Sesame Street." I asked him "What you looking for?" He said "Sesame Street." I said "Here." "Oh ya hor only got one" Haha, cute. We did warm up with Chromatic Low Tones conducted by Germaine. I think she's going to be student conductor. Then we practised SS. After a few times, we went downstairs.

So boring there, 3.30pm is when the full rehearsal starts, not the one for band what. We could actually have stayed up there. Hours at the hall you know! I just play and play anything I want. A while later Darryl came.

Oh ya, there's one part at Overture No. 1 I blasted a bit then there's echo throughout the whole hall, yeah! :D Finally we gathered in concert order. Then we went by the back door to the stage. Before we started they go on the spotlight! Then they go fiddle with the stage lights. When we playing, the stage lights keep going on and off, tsk, stage light have to be one obviously, so people can see us and we can see our scores! After that, the 5 people came out. The band so nice, they clapped as we played and after we finished they clapped & cheered. Aawww... :) Then go back upstairs and dismissed. Bye bye.

Band practice & SYF uniform

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

Band practice today! First thing in the morning, marching. Again split into two groups, now I'm under Rebekah. CH didn't come! :( Our group didn't count, last time in LR's group we count. Then later we combine together. Then 9am went back to the room. Actually we went upstairs first, I set up my trombone and stand. Then we came down. When we went upstiars, LR asked us to go for sectionals, warm up during sectionals. But Ms Leong wanted to get 5 people for CNY quintet. Not whole band will be performing. It'll be like last year, 5 people (I remember CY playing) for Da Di Hui Chun. Two clarinets, a horn, a trumpet and a darling trombone. She asked if I'm the only trombone today, ya I am. Then she got Tian Hoe & Benedict (clarinet) Yihui (trumpet). She wanted Shazana but she don't want, so she got Brandon, at first don't want but Ms Leong got irritated so he took it. Trombone- me of course, if my kor kors were there, she'd definitely not get me.

So 5 of us took our stands and went to the music room on the other side of the store room. She passed us the scores and we started practising. Later LR came and said he gave the others break, so Ms Leong gave us break too. Went toilet only and after that I took pictures! :D Of our sectionals places. Then went back to music room and waited for the rest to come back. Break from 10.10am to 10.40am. The guys were late. After they came back, we continued. This time we stood because we'll be standing on the actual day in the hall. When we end, the note is fermata so we have to hold till Tian Hoe gives the que to stop. Ms Leong recorded us! Sounds like a duck. It wasn't perfect. But Ms Leong said me and Yihui were the most constant ones.

After a while, past 11am, we went out. When I went out I saw Darryl walking! I practised A Monmouth Overture. Then later he came. He didn't set up his trombone because it was already past 11.30am then. Problem at the semiquavers again :( 4 semiquavers at the 4th count of bar 21. We completed the whole song. Then we move on to "Monmouth". We doing half way (not even half actually) then Rebekah shout for horn and trombone to go in. So I put down my trombone and went. Darryl of course don't need to already so he used my trombone.

So I went in and waited so long. Finally my turn, XS size for skirt and blouse. Have to change in the store room, yucks. When I rushed out. Darryl left already :( I pressed the water key, so much saliva! Dismiss at 1pm-.- Apparently LR didn't want us to leave when the rest were trying uniforms. Why not? It's got nothing to do with us what. Bye.

Performance for Sec 1 Orientation

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

7 January 2009 Wednesday

Yesterday I asked Darryl (by sms) what time today's Sec 1 Orientation is. He said 'They nvr say." So I asked Cheng Heng, he told me it's 230 so I thanked him :) Lessons ended at 1.30pm. I went to the canteen with Xue Qi for lunch. Met Mavis by chance and she said Rebekah said it's immediately after lesson but I believed Cheng Heng, so I ate first. Jaslyn joined us later. We reached the room at 2+, very few were there. I heard the Sec 3s & 4s have lesson until 2.30pm. Today we face the door so that there's space in front of us for the Sec 1s. So cramp!! My section no space la! Last row got 3 trombonists, 4 tubas and I think 5 trumpets -.- What's more trombone right to the left beside the whiteboard.

Ms Leong was here, Mr Yeo wasn't. She asked if we're comfortable with Kokomo, then someone said no. Then she said if no then we won't play it -.- Tsk, who the heck was that?! Before Cheng Heng and Darryl came, one batch of Sec 1s (don't know how many classes) came and Rebekah introduced every section. Some people play a note, some just show the instrument. I just stood up, held the trombone high, then sat down again without a word, haha. Someone laughed and said one only. What one only, got short term memory is it? The rest not here yet cannot ah? Even if only got one so what? Got problem is it? Oboe also only got one what, nothing wrong with that right? We played Sesame Street. Serene hadn't come yet so there's no one blocking me and the Sec 1s were standing so they can see me. We played Sesame Street only, no Kokomo because of that selfish idiot. When I played my melody at 'Peanut Butter' those near me looked at me! Because that part I played louder :D I played a few wrong notes, but the first time was the most perfect one. Then Darryl and Cheng Heng came. Very cramp.

Today I'm not so lonely, yay! :D Darryl talk to me a lot, and Cheng Heng a bit also, better than yesterday. Must talk to Cheng Heng more also, as much as Darryl, although it's not as much as when they argue. Eh? Now they're not arguing anymore! I think we played 7 times altogether, because I remember taking turns to introduce 7 times. I remember the second time we introduced trombone, Darryl say want to do 'this one' together. It's the trail. It's the one where we pull the slide without tonguing. Then when he finished, he sat down and just started without counting. Then somehow Cheng Heng managed to play together but I didn't. I was late, so it's not together. Then later I say he never count. Cheng Heng said "Ya lor you never count! You just start then we (looks surprised and hold up the trombone)" Haha, it's not that exaggerated. Third time he sat down after talking then Rebekah move on to percussion -.- Then someone told her then she "Wait wait, trombone wants to play something!"

I think it's around this time one batch very noisy. Then Darryl got so irritated he said "Are we here to perform or to watch them talk?" Ya it's irritating and probably tiring for Rebekah. 4th time Cheng Heng introduced. He held up the trombone just like me, high up :D He said the trombone is special because it uses a slide and you must have long hands to play it, haha. Then 5th time he left out the long hands then Rebekah said it. 6th time it's me I said "This is the trombone. It's unique because it has a slide so you have to have long hands to play it" Then I trail down and up, still standing. Don't know why Darryl always sit down first then trail.

Oh ya, we talked about Chinese name, our siblings, and... other things. Then I ask how to write Darryl's Chinese name, he said he don't want to show me -.- But in the end, me & CH figured it out, haha. And we talked about Cai Yan, her hyper behaviour. Then about CL teacher, Mr Liu -.- He' still teaching me, and Darryl's class HMT. I forgot how that got into topic. I told Darryl he teaches his class HMT also. Then he said he doesn't take higher mother tongue. I said I know, obviously. Then CH "Obviously la!" He's in 3R3 :) Oh ya, our section play CO songs. Darryl trying to play Matsuri then I asked if he can play Ju Hua Tai.

He talk half way got saliva on my hand. "You spit on me!" CH "Bad senior!" then later CH talk got saliva on Darryl. "You spit on me!" Hahaha! Yesterday also Mr Yeo asked the whole band to play the beginning of Kokomo (our melody). CH "Yes! Beginning! Beginning!..." Then Darryl wipe his face. "Sorry sorry!" Haha! Back to today. I asked why his bell always drip water. He said got meh? I said look at your pants. Then got a drop of water there, "Eh?... Condensation, condensation." HAHA! There was some dust or small insect drifting in front of Darryl. Then Darryl point at it while it drifted. "Aiya, it's just a.... don't know what thing only!" "Spider..." -.- ? Oh ya, me & Darryl were talking about the bowl spilling that time then I said I want to take the bowl and splash it in his (the one who spilled it) face. Then he said so evil then I said his senior bully me eh! Then I told him about telling her he spilled it. Then he asked "Then she said it's ours right?" I said "No, she just say then you clean la" Then Darryl say it's her own junior spill then she don't want to clean... He seemed quite irritated, he was from their section before so I didn't expect him to be so irritated... But anyway, that means he cares right? :)

CH kept laughing at me today. He say I watch Sesame Street. Then also once I asked Darryl if he's cold, he said no. I was so cold! Then later I said I'm shaking already. Then CH I think twice saw me shaking and said "Shaking... hahaha..." Then the third time I look up and saw him looking at me then he turn away and never laugh, haha! Then Ms Ong came with the CD of the Genting competition. We watched only ours and I saw trombone. Darryl emptying saliva during the long rests and the camera showed him, haha! I remember that part when we were playing. Then they were like "Darryl emptying saliva!" "Anything wrong with that?! Anything wrong with that?!" Just after the video ended, another batch came. Just nice, haha. Darryl introduced. Finished at almost 7! Bye bye.

Band exchange programme

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

Band practice today! :D Finally, after so long! Today is exchange programme at Greenridge Secondary School. My mouthpiece was found in Darryl's case, hahaha! Anyway, there were 3 schools at Greenridge. Us, Greenridge and Dunearn Secondary. Warm ups first, chromatic low tones. The first note I play already felt like there was a lot of saliva in the trombone. Then Total Training. Then a little performance by every school. We're up first, with Novena. My sound sounded weird, and I played horribly. The other schools went to the side and sat on the floor while we played. Very supportive, they cheer before and after we played. Then after our performance, we went to the side to watch the other bands play. After all 3 bands played, there was break of 25min until 11.05am. During break, we just stood around and did nothing. They gave us a bottle of water. After break was combined, 3 bands combined. Mr Yeo said there's over 10 trombones. I think there were 5 bass trombones including me. (Not the instrument itself, the song part) We played Overture No. 1. It's only my 2nd time playing. The stand that Darryl passed to me was spoilt-.- So I shared with the person beside me. He knew almost the whole Overture No. 1. I think he learnt before. We didn't sit according to schools, we sat according to our parts. I learnt a bit of it. After Overture No.1 we played Overture No.2. Overture No.1 is easier. At 12pm we went back to school. I kept my trombone and went home. Tomorrow got Suky's concert. Bye!

21st Century International Band Festival

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

28 November 2008 Friday

Last day in Genting. After breakfast, take all our stuff and gather at the grand foyer. Taking attendance-asking every section if all the members were here. Cliff called Trombone and looked at me. I thought Darryl was there because I saw him just now, so I nodded, and was wondering why Darryl didn't answer. But later I saw him come and he sat behind -.o So actually he wasn't here... Actually I'm sitting with Xue Qi, Jaslyn & Xuan Lin are behind us, Darryl & James are behind them. But later changed, I go behind and sit with Jaslyn. Me & Jaslyn went toilet, then when we came out, I stopped at the entrance because I wanted to take a picture of the band. Then this cleaner lady came in with a vacuum cleaner and it was about to run over Jaslyn's feet then she screamed. Hahaha! It's Jaslyn who's gonna be hurt but instead of her screaming, it's the cleaner screaming, hahaha! Jaslyn just stepped over it. I didn't get a picture. But actually I did get one not of the band, of the place, I think it was before that. Jaslyn came up with an idea. I got a picture of someone in the end. Don't know whether it's obvious because my camera was facing away a bit. Anyway, I got the picture :D Thanks to her idea :D I'm not going to put it here, not safe. But I will put the picture I took of the place :D Look!

Actually many schools were there, but no one walked past here when I took the picture. Pasir Ris Sec sat beside us and the silver eupho player was beside me. Not directly beside I mean, there's space between the schools. Maybe Darryl saw her too. Haha, she talked to him a bit during the workshop on Wednesday. You know, my room has 2 windows. One's facing outside. Outside my room also has a window. I went to another end of the corridor with another window and saw the theme park! So I took 2 pictures of it. I put my phone outside the window :O Haha, look!

Outdoor theme park

The bus came at about 9am. We put our instruments and luggages on the bus then got up. Me & Jaslyn were a bit late, there was only one place left I think, so we had to sit in front of Darryl & James. Haha! We stopped at Yong Peng for lunch again. This time no sharing. I was fine on the bus because I wasn't hungry :D When we reached school, we brought our instruments upstairs to the store room. Then I went back down and waited for my father. Go home take bus again -.- Another long bus ride. When I reached home, I went to my grandmother's house first. Ate dinner there then went home. I took pictures of some things. Look! :D

My lanyard! :D

My Lucky Rocks! :D I used it the first time I learnt marching in Band! :D I brought them along :D

My room card key

Next year's competition is from 23 Nov to 27 Nov, Monday to Friday also. I want to go again! :D I don't think we'll be going again soon... Bye!

21st Century International Band Festival

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

27 November 2008 Thursday

Today is a free day actually but I had to go for a workshop with Darryl. Yesterday during the debrief after the results, Mr Yeo chose 2 people from every section to attend a workshop conducted by Professor John Howard on next year's SYF set piece, Overture No.1 For Wind Band. Mr Yeo said "Trombone Section, Darryl & Rebecca, because you're the only 2 in the section." Haha. The workshop was from 10.30am to 12.30pm. I brought the booklet, my file and my trombone. Darryl asked "Need to bring that one meh?" (booklet) Actually can just take notes on the score -.- Why didn't I think of that? Actually I wanted to borrow slide oil from him, he said later. But later there was no time, so my slide haven't oiled yet.

We went to the Grand Ballroom but the people there said we can only send one person from each section to the stage due to space constrains. At first I think Darryl wanted me to go. He said "You go la. Or I go?..." "You go la..." So he went. So I, and those who didn't have to go, went into the waiting area (where we waited before our performance on Tuesday) and sat in a row behind people from the same section from different schools. Then later we went out to watch them have workshop. We put our instruments in front of the stage. I took my file and sat somewhere. I couldn't see trombones :( The workshop is Professor John Howard conducting them and they play. If they've never tried it before then they have to side-read. I followed with my score. Haha, when he asked trombones to play, I keep saying "Darryl!" but not shout, just say only, and quite soft :D Once he asked 2nd trombones to play, I did that again. I only heard one trombone at first, then later I heard 2. One person kept coming in early. I think that at first, the one person who played is Darryl. I also think that the person who came in early was the other trombonist. I think only, I don't know because I didn't ask him. They learnt the whole song in 2 hours. It's an honour to attend a workshop by that professor I heard. The woodwinds got to send both representatives from the section to the stage. Not fair -.- Then after it ended, me & Jaslyn were waiting for our seniors. Waiting and waiting, wondering why they haven't come down yet. Then (Jaslyn) "There!" (Me) "Oh cheh! Hahaha!" Haha! Darryl said it's actually very easy, just learn the rhythm then very easy already. Go back to school he play for me the rhythm. He said it, so if he cannot play I whack him! Hahaha!

Then went for lunch. At first me and Jaslyn only, later Yi Hui, Germaine & Serene joined us. They went for the workshop too. Then we went to the outdoor theme park. If my birthday wasn't over yet then I would have been counted as a child and my ticket would have been cheaper. My birthday just passed by 4 days, haha. We went to the roller coaster first, called corkscrew. I think I've never been on one. There's 2 parts where the whole thing just go completely upside down you know! And when it goes down or turns it feels as if you're gonna drop out. Freaky. I kept looking down. At least I'm not in front where everything can be seen. My neck hurt after that-.- And I had headache. I didn't scream, haha, or cry. I thought I might cry. Serene was also not feeling well so when the others went for other rides, the 2 of us just watched them. I ate ice cream too, haha. I wasted money. I only went for the first and last ride, both roller coasters -.- I should have stayed in my room and learn Overture No.1. Anyway, after theme park was dinner, then the Closing Ceremony. The top 3 schools performed. Hmm...I can't remember anything after that... Bye.

21st Century International Band Festival

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

25 November 2008 Tuesday

Today's the day of the competition. Woke up at 6.50am, washed up and went for breakfast. At 8.30am Darryl came and asked me to go for sectionals. He's in room 820 now. We went to look for euphos and he talked to me a bit :) Or else I'll be bored. Did I have a good sleep? No -.- Haha. Sectionals in Darryl's room (with euphos -.- -.- -.-) Practising with ANOTHER section during SECTIONALS is a WASTE OF TIME. THEY make mistakes, WE stop. Stupid mistakes, damn heck irritating to the core! Darryl has to understand that sectionals means one section. When I'm the SL in 2010, I will not make my section suffer like me now! Xue Qi thinks that if Kevin was here, DL won't make us have bi-sectionals because then there'll be 3 and not 2 people. His thinking not straight is it? That reason might be possible, since she mentioned that during practice in school, we trombones don't practise with them, but why practice with them here? She makes sense. There's a high chance that's the reason. *sighs* Anyway, sectionals was fun (although it's irritating) He very bad. Last time on MSN say will show me how to write his Chinese name the next day, until now haven't. Haha! We were talking about Sara, a current Sec 3 who quit band, trombone, last year. I was saying her Chinese name sounds like mine. She's Shi Ya, I'm Shi Ying. Then I said "Oh ya, you haven't show me how to write your Chinese name yet!" "....(thinking)...don't want." -.- And, MIRACLE! My playing was perfect for the first time. Don't know why, I could play the whole both songs. Usually I'd get tired at the melody of Singapura Medley but today both were perfect! After sectionals,went back to my room, then went to gather for whole band rehearsal. Went to the area outside the gym, which is one floor below first floor. We went with instruments and files. Silent practice/singing practice they call it :D Just sing our parts and do positioning. Then go to the Grand Ballroom to practise. There for 20min then tuning room for 15min where we did no tuning, just practising some more. Then lunch. Then practise more in James' room this time, even more irritated for some reason. Then went back to my room to get ready for the actual performance.

Changed into band uniform and black shoes. Gathered at the singing area for singing practice again. Then to the tuning room and after that's the actual performance!!! I played badly. Won't mention the details. After that, we gathered at hall 6, I cried but the tears didn't flow out. I was already emotionally unstable and you added to it. Left our instruments there and went to watch the last band perform. Went back to rooms to keep instruments and went to singing area for debrief, then dinner.

My bag. Took it yesterday. This and the chocolate are my 2 birthday presents :)

Outside the window at the lift lobby. Taken today.

Outside the window. Taken together with the previous one.

Outside my room window. My room has 2 windows since it's the last room. The other window just faces the other rooms.

Bye.

26 November 2008 Thursday

Woke up and got ready for the day, then went for breakfast. Then went to the room again, workshop starts at 10.30am only. Darryl came to say, meet at the lift lobby at 10.30. At 10am, Xue Qi told me it's 10 already. I was like, so? It's only 10, the workshop's 10.30. She said Darryl said 10 so I quickly set up my dearest 宝贝 trombone and left the room, although I still thought he said 10.30. No one was at the corridor! Everyone was like...surprised and all, even DL wasn't ready. He probably said 10.30. Anyway we can't gather at 10.30 because it starts at 10.30. So I waited outside his room and we went to the lift lobby. Our workshop is sectional but ours is with euphos (again -.-) So we waited for them and Darryl asked me if I brought writing material. I forgot! So I ran back to get the pencil case and booklet (which has pages for lesson notes) and ran back.

Darryl's trombone & my trombone! :D Looks like mirror image right?

Hmm...I won't put the details of the workshop but I'll say I did learn some things. And DL and I have the same reaction when something happens. We look at each other, hahaha, very funny! At the end of the workshop, we had 30min left, so the instructor (who's a trombonist) asked if we wanted to play any song. Pasir Ris Sec (who had 6 trombonist & 2 euphos (1 gold)) played the last part of a song. I don't know what song that is. They also only have 1 female trombonist! The instructor corrected them while they played again and again. Then after that, he wanted US to play. All DL's fault la! Before they played he already wanted to play Novena. He put the file on the stand and opened to 2nd page of Novena! He wanted to play bar 121 which is 2nd page. Then the instructor looked at it and asked us to play. "All your fault la! Later cannot pitch the high F!..." Haha! But luckily I managed :D After we ended, we went for lunch then went to Meeting Room 10 to watch videos of Japanese bands perform. Can hear the trombone workshop in Room 11! :D We were there.

Watched until 4pm+ then they said the hotel gave us free game of bowling so I actually wanted to go with them to see them play. But they went up to 22nd floor and did nothing at the corridor so I thought they weren't going anymore. So I went to Jaslyn's room to play eupho :D Then I found out they all went bowling I don't know where -.- Eupho's easy, very easy. I played high high B flat. And I didn't use much air and the sound was loud. I played some parts of Novena on the eupho.

After dinner was the Friendship Concert. Liang Rong wanted us to sing happy birthday to Ms Ong so we did, and another school sang it in Chinese! :D After the concert, the results were announced. I wrote everything in my diary so I won't write here. Our results, my feelings, my reactions, everything. My face was wet, and I lost a lot of water... Bye.

21st Century International Band Festival

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

Yo! I'm back from Genting! Acually I came back on 28 November but I didn't blog because I have to write in my book first, rack my brains to think for those days I haven't written for.

24 November 2008 Monday

First day in Genting! :D I was a few minutes late and missed my attendance. We're supposed to be there by 6.30am! We went to get our instruments and Darryl wished me happy birthday for a 3rd time :O He asked me to keep his file and Total Training for him -.- But I did anyway, because I'm a nice nice junior :) We filled up our white cards and shifted the things onto the bus. I couldn't bring my trombone up, haha! But later they said there's space in the luggage compartment, so Benedict shifted my instrument down. He lost his balance for a while because his right hand's holding forgot Horn or Clarinet then his left hand's holding trombone, so not even. Haha, careful... and thanks. Ah yes! Jaslyn gave me chocolate for my birthday present! :D It's nice :D

We stopped at Yong Peng for lunch but me and Jaslyn weren't hungry so we shared Nasi Lemak although it's already not that much. Then later in the bus, I got hungry, which made me have headache which made me vomit -.- Which made me feel better. Luckily the bus already stopped at a toilet so I could go throw the bag. When we reached Genting, we stopped at a temple. It's related to the founder of Genting Highlands... I think he owns it or it was built for him, I forgot already. Called Uncle Lim, then I said Darryl is also Uncle Lim xD Shh...! Last time during band practice he sat like in a kopitiam then Ms Leong say something kopitiam, then he's like "Sorry sorry..." xD Anyway, there's toilet there, it's the only time I went toilet throughout the whole journey :O When we reached the hotel, we settled down and got our room keys. Then we went to our rooms.

This part's very funny. At the lift lobby on the 22nd floor (all our rooms are on that floor) I put down Trombone (it's heavy) and told Xue Qi to go look for our room, 817. So she went off with her stuff and my luggage also (my small bag's quite big and I got a trombone to carry). Our room was right at the end, the last room, so she took quite long. So I went to look for her. It's a long way from the lifts. When I found her, I put down Trombone when it was only a few steps to the room (heavy!) and walked towards the room and ask her to help take my trombone. She said "Sure. So light, carry all the way also can..." Then I walked to Trombone again and went "You think very light ah?! Light then you try carry all the way-(suddenly stops)" Darryl opened the door and walked out. -.o I stared at him with a surprised look and he asked "You rooming here ah?" I didn't reply. What in the world was that?! Funny...and shocking, to find out that my senior is right beside me when they randomly assigned rooms. Then dinner and desert. I ate my fill :) Not bad, I thought it'd be worse.

My dinner-rice, curry chicken, potato wedges, steamed egg and vegetables

My desert (doesn't look like anything right?)-cake, jelly, jelly and mango pudding.

After dinner, I went to try Xuan Lin's blouse (uniform) and changed with her because mine too big. Darryl wanted to change room... so he did, and he's not beside me anymore, but still very close-3 rooms away. No actually only 2, 820. After dinner was Opening Ceremony in the Grand Ballroom. 2 bands performed. My jacket was still wet -.- I put my bottle in my bag and it must have accidentally been pressed. So Germaine lent me hers, she had 2 :) Went back to rooms, bathed... Xuan Lin & Jaslyn came to tell us we had to gather at 10.30pm. I thought we could sleep already, haha. So we and some other girls went to the grand foyer that area but no one was there. Germaine called Liang Rong and we went back up to the lift lobby on 22nd floor, everyone was there! :O We were just on time, or a few seconds late. Briefing for tomorrow. Have sectionals in the room. I went "How to have sectionals in the room?!" Because only 2 trombonists are here...! I couldn't sleep because someone was snoring -.- -.-

Tomorrow is the competition already!!! Bye!

Band practice

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

Band practice today! It was supposed to be 8am to 12pm but it wasn't. Darryl didn't come. I thought he said he was coming... Either today or next Saturday. Cheng Heng had a workshop today, so he also didn't come, so I'm alone today. I took T3 today! I thought it'll be easier than Kevin's trombone. First time using T3 after changing trombone. Then I went to the classroom block toilet to wash the mouthpiece. When I went back, we took attendance and went out for sectionals. T3's water key is really leaking. Some times I saw water spray out from it, so I put tissue paper. I'm addicted to tissue paper too! Hahaha! Sectionals from 8am to 9.30am I practised by myself :) Novena & Singapura Medley. Ok, this is one time when nothing funny happens in the section because there's only one person :( Then when we're practising half way, it was only 9.10+am but Cliff told us to go back in because there were parents walking around. There's brak until 10.15am. I took a picture!

Serene & Shi Mei's alto saxophones. Looks like mirror image right?

Today's open house, we already decided no to perform downstairs at the canteen but we were still performing in the room. The alumni person called Jezer came and he used Kevin's trombone. Ms Ong was here since we went back into the room all the way until practice ended. She called on visitors to come and see the band. There was a poster outside the room with our name, Ngee Ann Secondary School Concert Band, and wrote our performance times-1030,1130,1230 and 1330. It's ridiculous. They didn't even tell us we're performing and just put posters. We were supposed to end at 12pm but ended at 1.20pm.

We played many songs. Novena, Singapura Medley, March "Blue Sky", YMCA and Seagate Overture (I didn't play, I didn't have this score). Jezer took out Kevin's scores and messed it up a bit. He took them out of the pockets and didn't put it back before he left. So I put it back but don't know if I put it in the correct place. Singapura Medley is so slow then I play half way and start playing wrong notes, correct position but embouchure loose already, I think. I prefer Novena, it's faster and most of the high notes aren't that long. Some times after we played, we got applause! :D First one was from Ms Ong and a visitor. Once the applause was louder, then we turned behind, our seniors! :D Cai Yan, Zhi Hui, Xue Ting and Shir Lin came. Jezer emptied his saliva on the floor!!! Then he left and cleaned the saliva first. Then we played YMCA. Cai Yan sat beside me a while and see Kevin's file (all the Chinese words and drawing of eyes, haha) then see how I play. But I only played the very easy part, because when it comes to around part B, my sound gets a bit weird. One senior ever said that kind of "rrrrr" sound is because embouchure too loose. And some more Cai Yan beside me, I don't wanna play wrong notes in front her. Other times I don't really care, but still care. If I knew today was like this I would have used Kevin's trombone instead of T3 which is softer. Jaslyn's alone today, so at the melody where there's only trombone and eupho, it's very soft! And it can be heard when I play wrongly. And sometimes I can't hear a melody at all...

M Ong was talking to some people when we were not playing. Then she sudden;y said "Rebecca, can you hold up the trombone?" Then I just hold up a bit and the band's like "Woa...." Then Cliff said "Not high enough, stand up stand up" but I saw Ms Ong was talking to them already so I didn't stand... Cliff really wants to show off the band, haha! I should've done like Chen Hua did before. He held his baritone saxophone above him and he was standing too, haha! I should've stood up and held the trombone high, face upwards and go to position 7, hahaha! That'd be something I wanna see! :D If I'd known we're playing YMCA I would've practised it during sectionals. There were some extra chairs (so many people not here, especially brasses, woodwinds too many cannot here lower brasses) so the visitors could sit in the room. Luckily I'm not near them. Later, Cliff decided that the songs we play were too long, the people got bored and walked away, so he decided to play part of the songs only. Novena-bar41-96, Singapura Medley-bar 53 to the end. Just the fast parts of the 2 songs.

There was lunch at 12pm, it was provided but I didn't eat much. I asked Ms Ong why she told me to hold the trombone. She was telling the visitors that they need long hands to play trombone. Haha! :D Great job Ms Ong! I went back to the room after lunch, there was only me, Xue Qi, Cliff and Jaslyn. I went to keep T3 and took out Kevin's trombone. I went to wash the mouthpiece, Jezer used that one. There's 2 but I recognised it by a dent on it, which may've been made by me. And he didn't wash the mouthpiece first before using. The toilet was locked -.- so I used the water cooler. On the poster, there were concert times but actually we just kept playing even when there was no one walking past. I kept looking at the people watching -.- What for actually, they should be looking at us. I saw a person talking about trombone. Trombone is cool, yeah I know. Even when I'm not blowing (too tired or sound not nice) I still position because I want people to notice trombone. I think I'm the most attention-seeking one because I move a lot. I purposely try to show off trombone, haha. We really just kept playing non-stop!!!

I also emptied saliva on the floor but immediately cleaned it. Then put paper on the floor and empty on it. Only for our very last performance there was a whole group of people gathered to watch -.- It's our last performance and we're all tired already then they come and there were less people earlier when we're not so tired -.- I only slept 5h last night (couldn't sleep) and play so much today... I'm tired... DARRYL!!!!! Well, I don't know if it's the trombone or me, now I can pitch high F. I hope I can it on my trombone too. When I closed the trombone cupboard door, I knocked my own head. Ridiculous. Nadhirah said I look so tired. Ms Ong said it's the Sec 1s first time playing so many times. I seriously need to improve!!! Bye.

Exam results

♫♪I love NAS, Concert Band, Trombones and my seniors!!♪♫

It's the last day of school and my class got COMPASS magazine. Band's featured! The 2nd National Band Competition, trombone section's in it! :D But the picture is so small! I got back my report book today. But before that was the Great NAS Clean Up. 1h, but nothing much to do. Last time we had it, we cleaned the tables and chairs first, then put them at the back. This time we put them at the back first, so it's only the windows and teacher's table to clean and tidy. Then the whole school went to the hall at 11am to get back our report books. Only today, the CCA record, where we write the activities that were not recorded, was collected. Isn't it a bit too late? How to make any amendments if they collect today and the report book is given today? But when I got the report book, it was written that I participated in the National Day performance. So no worries :D But there was also the record that I participated and represented the school in National Band Competition but the Sec 1s didn't even participate! We only went to watch our seniors! And points are awarded for that competition! So I get 1 point for nothing?

Anyway, my class position is 15/39 when my percentage is 70.8% and Wen Ling is 8/39 when she's about 72% -.- That few marks makes so much difference in position. I got 1 B4, 2 A1s, 3 A2s and 4 B3s. Haha, I got 4 different grades in the proportion of 1, 2, 3, 4. And by the way, all the grades and marks I'm talking about is the overall for 2008. You know what kind of A2 I got for Science? 74!!! -.- The subject I most want to excel in is none other than SCIENCE!! I want to go to 3R1, triple Science class! And you know what kind of B3s I got? 69, 69, 68, 68 -.- Again, so close to the next grade! All 4 B3s, so close to the next grade! -.- EL, CL - 69. Maths and Home Economics - 68. For Literature, I just got a B4 with 60, or else I would have stayed at C5. For CA1, SA1 and CA2 I got C5. My L1R4 Aggregate is 9 and my L1R5 aggregate is 11. What JC can I go to with 11 points? My remarks: Rebecca is pleasant and well-behaved. She has made an effort to interact more, an essential life skill. Continue to work hard and pursue higher academic goals. My CCA remarks! :D : Rebecca is a conscientious student with a positive work attitude. She has the potential to go far and has improved through the guidance of her seniors. She has shown regular attendance and commitment to the CCA. :D

Band practice tomorrow. I hope I'm back to normal. It's one month to my birthday, which means it's one month - 2 days to the concert and one month + 1 day to the competition. Bye!
