♫♪I'm a happy 2nd Trombone!!♪♫

Happy Founder's Day! Yesterday it was, but I came back very late at night. The performance was ok... During the performance I suddenly remembered something. Last time during a performance, I could always remember which note I play wrongly because it can be counted in one hand. But now, after having braces, I'm mispitching so many notes. Kevin's solo was great, although his 3 high high Gs were not perfect. First one pitched then dropped, second one cleverly skipped but it didn't sound too incomplete, third one pitched and dropped too. But other than that and one note which was flat due to position too low, it was perfect, and beautiful, really. The sound was a nice trombone sound, a very typical Kevin sound :) Gave him a sweet to cheer up. Being Band Major for this band is -.- But I'm NOT gonna give it up ok! For the sake of my dear trombone section and band.

♫♪I'm a happy 2nd Trombone!!♪♫

200th post. I didn't blog for one week, which is last Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday :S But I have reference from Jaslyn's blog, heh heh heh. Oh yes, I got haircut on Sunday, yucky.

Tuesday 14 July practice. I ate lunch with Jas and went up to the band room. I was gonna do Maths homework but Xue Qi and Chong Jin came and distracted me. I got songs from Xue Qi's phone and was doing Chong Jin's English for her, for fun. Then in the end didn't do my Maths.

Later we went in and set up. I forgot much, but warm ups was definitely Chromatic Low Tones and Total Training I think. Then The Incredibles! Mr Yu came as expected. Last time he said he's coming around 12 or 13, so I thought would be Tuesday, 14. He came at about 4pm. He looks like he cut hair too. I'm not sure, but his fringe is like mine, haha! (Ya, I got SHORT fringe now -.-) He asked one of us to go with him first. Haha, everyone asked Cheng Heng to go, I also. Kevin: Why me?
Me: Because you're senior.
Haha, so he went until 4.40pm+. Oh ya, very funny thing. Ms Leong's phone was in her bag and it rang but she's in the music room. So Mr Yeo took it to her. Just as he closed the store room door (store room is linking the rooms) Kevin came in from our band room door, haha! Then he went into the store room also. Then Mr Yeo came out of it, with Kevin behind, HAHAHA! They say it's like magic trick. Kevin took tuner from him. Then went out again. When they came back we were playing Incredibles halfway.

Then when we finished, I went out. Just then it was a short break. Mr Yu ask if I want break, I say no, as usual, heh. Play scales again, as usual. He always start with scales. Mr Yeo came a while to see. Heh, tiring. Then Incredibles. Oh ya, he talked about planes , it's related to the air that I'm supposed to blow into the trombone. Must have enough air if not it won't go straight, it'll be like a plane in turbulence. He said something about Xi An in China also. Something about many stone figures of soldiers there. I think he's talking about the Mandate of Heaven. We learn in History last year, but when he asked if I learn Chinese History I said no, haha. So, he said the 'trail' is not called trail, trail is one note. Then I said "Glist?" yup, I learnt that alr, from Jezer. Glist starts on the 4th count. I glist from C to F, but probably he thinks it's not nice so he told me to glist to A instead. Yeah, then 5+ I went back in and Jaslyn went out. He doens't play eupho but he can teach her nice sound. Haha, her senior stayed inside. When I came in they were doing Heal The World. Mr Yeo did bar 35. I just missed my bar 30 melody -.- Then I forgot what happened alr.

Thursday 16 July, I brought my Art sketchbook although no art today cos I want Jas to help me draw. Art's on Friday and we're supposed to start painting on Friday but I wanna finish first, cos in class doing art is irritating. So she looked through my D&T book and found plane picture and drew it. Xuan Lin came. I took songs from her too. Rebekah came and told her to ge the key. She went and came back without the key, so I and Jas went with her. We found Ms Ong this time, and we ran up the stairs. Kevin came in very soon after we unlocked. No conductors today.

We warmed up with the usual things and did The Incredibles and Ponyo. The Incredibles was yucky, the percussionist kept rushing and play wrong rhythm then the whole band play yucky because of that. And got once Kevin came in early one beat, I think everyone else did also. -.-""' After Ponyo, it was 4pm already so Rebekah got us to sectionals till 4.25pm on Heal The World. After that we went back and play The Incredibles and Heal The World. Ms Deepa came up, she was just watching. The Incredibles was still yucky, Heal The World was "not together" according to the majors, but of course better. We're dismissed later than 4.30pm, but never mind.

Friday 17 July, all alone. After lunch I went upstairs to put my bag then went toilet. When I came back, miracle woah, Jas' senior sitting there alr, and it was only 1+. Take my favourite spot, GRRR -.- So I took my History things and studied on the other side's table. I saw Kevin and Chen Hua go in, at I think 2 so I went also. Sat there and continued reading but very noisy la althoug only a few people. Then I set up. Aiya! I forgot what happened today alr, la. Jaslyn you la, blog so little! Haha! Mr Yeo's not happy today, for obvious reasons. I asked Serene if we could call a locksmith to unlock the bronze trombone case, she said she'll sms Ms Deepa. I told Suky on MSN on Thursday about that, she say call locksmithWe were dismissed earlier than 6pm today :O

Saturday 17 July, sectionals but Mr Yeo came. Kevin came at 8.08am about there. We played everything today, in order. He decided on the order to play at Takashimaya, Ponyo first, then I forgot. Have to remember!!! There's Ponyo, The Incredibles, Heal The World, Kokomo, YMCA and Sesame Street. Mr Yeo's still not happy. We ran through once in all the songs in order. Mr Yeo asked how Andrew (Trumpet) injured his hand.
Mr Yeo: They say you flagged a taxi. I don't believe it, (He asked how he got injured)
Andrew: I flagged a taxi
Mr Yeo: (Laughs, really)
So actually it wasn't the taxi that injured him, it's the car in front of the taxi that go bang his hand -.- And drive off after that -.- Then practise until 9.30 break till 10am. Rebekah and some others got cake for Mr Yeo, his birthday's today :O After break we continued. After a while, he asked us to go for sectionals on Flight Of The Piasa (finally, we've never played it in combined). He said we can scrap Mamma Mia! and I was like "Har?..." Then he said (I think he was talking to me) "You like ah?" I think I nodded and someone else said something too, then he said "Ok lor, but you all must practise ah" Hehhehheh.

Then Mr Yeo talking to someone halfway I think, when Rebekah went out to take the cake and say "Happy birthday, tomorrow is your birthday right?" HAHAHA! It's so sudden and funny. We sang him a birthday song in English. Kevin conitnued in Chinese but nobody did. Then he asked "Where's my Chinese version?!" Haha, so ya Chinese version. No Malay or Sri Lankan (Faris and Andrew) version. He blew the one candle and cut the cake. We took band picture. Lol, he put the chocolate cake on the conductor stand. Actually Kevin stand in front but too tall so he sat right in front, in front of Mr Yeo even.

Kevin looks cute right? :D The same expression as that of Darryl in the picture before SYF...


I know I got little fringe la huh, but it wouldn't be so ugly if that idiot didn't cut it like that ya? Then we went to music room for sectionals on Flight Of The Piasa. Mr Yeo said A Brazillian Portrait also, but we didn't practise that one. I put a score in front of that alr, I think YMCA. Anyway, after that dismissed, bye! Happy birthday Mr Yeo! Haha!
