luh. I AM LIKE GONNA BLOG ABOUT BAND FROM WEDNESDAY TO SATURDAY. WEDNESDAY: ok, it was supposingly to be sectionals n every wed but this week, we had something different. it was a day for packing for alllll of us. mainly, only the brass section was supposed to pack while the woodwinds were decorating the band notice board. but because the materials came late, so everyone ended up packing their cupboards. all of our cupboards were in a great mess and we packed till our hands almosts broke and eyes almost popped while sorting all the scores out. i hate packing and will never do that again... some sections just finished the packing so early while the others lasted for many many hours.... when everyone stopped packing they started have fun and making loads of noise. so Mdm alya came in and started giving us work to do. she also told us of something which we must do which was the creation of labels of our names on the chairs. so when those labels are all done, we would all have our very own labelled chair. isnt that cool? yeah right.... so then when 6pm came, everyone started leaving one by one. Thursday: it was awards ceremony rehearsal that day. we all got ready early and started waiting outside of the hall for the rehearsal to start. but in the end they told us that it would only start at like 4.30pm. so then we started dispersing into many places doing the things we wanted to do like homework and the unfinished notice board decoration, while some of us stayed at third level to take care of the instruments. so at around 4.3o we went back into positions to get ready and we played. then after that waited for the finale to come and went on stage to sing. right. here comes the irritating part. The teacher-in-charge actually pointed out the Band for not singing and smiling during the finale even when most of us did.Then she said that if we dont smile and sing, They will take us out from the whole thing. DAMN. And when reading out the CCAs they practically forgotten about the Band. Mdm Alya conforted us by saying that it was the Band's 'tradition' to be not serious during rehearsals until it was the real thing. so then they had another one more rehearsal for the finale and we were sent home at aroung 6.30pm. FRIDAY: it was the full- dress rehearsal today. we were released early form class to prepare for the rehearsal but then, the bandroom was used by the aesthetic class and so we could not practice and had to change in the bandroom quietly. so after everyone changed, we all settled down at mdm alya's homeroom and practiced singing the finale song to prevent being scolded again. This time, everyone sang sang and sang. then mdm alya brought us through this mind therapy thing which i forgot the name to prepare us for the rehearsal. after that, at 1.35pm, we all went back to the music room to set our instruments, warm-up and get ourselves tuned. The teacher said that everything was alright, except we have to play louder. ......... by Brick. Hay takes over. SATURDAY: We same kinda early (cause though some of us were late, we werent punished)and we sat there crapping... Some of us set our instruments but some were just not motivated enough. We played the Chromatic scale as a Band, then we were instructed to change into our Band Uniform. Then to test out her light-stick, BM Melodi tried it out in the dark as she conducted the Traditional Fanfare. It works fine. We crapped in small groups. Some of us were already hungry then even though we ate lunch, so we ask Mr Rama whether we could eat the muffins and drink the milo that the Bandies brought up for us. So one by one we came up and took our food. Yum. After that we carried our instruments and went up to the third floor to play the Fanfare. Mdm Alya and the rest were happy in our playing (we thought so too, since we were blasting our lungs out)so everyone cheered. YAY. The light-stick didnt help though, many didnt notice it. And we sat there and crap again while Elysia, Vivian and Stephanie went up for the prize giving and the CS performance. The DM and the BM went around to take some pics with us to keep as memory as they are gonna pass out soon. WE ROCKS. then we put make-up. suck. And we went up and sang the Finale and the end. Alumnis came Back! (: So we went to the canteen to get free food and our dinner was solved. *Hay -No one is supposed to play the piano, except during breaktimes and before/after Band. |
