hello. stick is back. yay. -landsfromaplane- KABOOOOOOOM. ZE STICK HAS LANDED. Hello band mates (: I shall name you all bandsturrs, it seems cooler. Half of April has passed and it's now the preparation period for our Mid-year's. Good luck to everyone for your mid-year examination. I'm sure everyone will ace it -- that is, if you study. If you haven't started, then what are you waiting for?! Get those lazy butts off the couch and your eyes thats staring at these text now and study. Whatchu' wating for? Santa to give you a nice big chocolate cookie? Anyways, moving on the the current thing. I have changed the layout last night. I had a sudden urge to make a new layout. Its a plain one this time, not blog styled, but full paged. It looks funny, yes I know. It looks plain, yes I know. I suck, yes I know. Sorry for the people whose faces are not in it. Its really VERYVERY hard to find a picture with everyone and use it. Even if i have one, I might find it hard to work with o___O Plus this layout had a certain width limit for the picture, I had no choice to cut off some legs at the bottom and some stuff at the sides. Sorry. Really, really, really, sorry. I hope next time i can provide a better layout. But of course, Stick will fail once again. Yes, she's pessimistic. Byebye, Stick's off to munch on some chocolate. STICK. the old lil' stick, that has satay meat! yummy satay don't you agree? 9:44 PM | Tuesday, April 15, 2008

The Great Passing Out Parade: THE DAY BEFORE GREAT BOOK OF RECORDS: SJC CONCERT BAND - 14TH APRIL 2008. [1] DAY/S BEFORE POP. MONDAY. POP REHEARSAL. Oh look! Everyone's marching along so fine, and we're just blowing our stuff. The atmosphere of the POP. The emotions. We, the music, are going to be the ones reducing our schoolmates to tears just by providing a nice depressing/awaiting-your-future/s tune. See the power we have? (And of course, we're ever so overlooked by the general school-public due to unfortunate circumstances.) I would speak my mind but I'm not supposed to say anything derogatory about any particular thing at all, so no, nothing about how a certain secton had to withstand the pressures of difficult demands. I offer my regards to the marchers, because they're actually quite stressed. They're not going to be blowing their lungs out, but they're going to be the main program. Gonna be watched. Gonna be passing out. Their moment of glory. Marching along hard in these rehearsals. Standing all the while, walking/marching/running around. Tiring, you know? Our rehearsal today was a physically draining one that is sort of a build-up to tomorrow's lovefest. Interesting, no? We won't really be the ones crying, (unless you're close to the Seniors in question) since we've gone through the monotonous and dull part of the rehearsals, so the moment's ruined for us. No worries though. You can have your own celebratory pah-tays after the POP is done and weep your eyeballs out of their sockets by reminding yourself that 'Hey, my senior's just passed out of our CCA! Shouldn't I be crying? Oh yes. I'll start crying now.' Seniors and juniors alike, are you excited/depressed/mournful/fermenting/hyped or high and bundles of emotion? If you're not, then shame on you. You have just joined the exclusively Jackass club (not a bad thing, actually) that has members that are just plain tired and waiting for the entire thing to be over and done with. Not to say that I'm not sad about the passing out. (Actually I'm just... not-really-emotional? I guess I'm slightly rocked, but not to a great extent.) And I can't tell you if I'm passing out or not because that would so ruin the little secrecy thing we've been abiding to, hm? So, I would like to say "Fare thee well, good Seniors, and may thee have good luck and fair wind on your voyage to your destinies." Or something like that. But no, that's a little too epic and dramatic, so we'll settle for 'See you around school sometime.' As for tomorrow, feel a bit happy that we're being released early(ier) for preparation. It's not everyday we get an excuse to skip lessons, after all. Remember, bring along your Band Uniform and those lumps of courtshoes (no stockings unless you want to be anal about it). And. Uhh. Stuff you need to bring. I've fulfilled my duty for the day for blogging, (this makes my second). The MaterialSupplier. Or You-know-who-I-am. 5:46 PM | Sunday, April 13, 2008
on Friday The rehearsal started at 4.00... Cause everyone was slow, we started late. Be faster next time. We would be hot and sweaty if we wear our blazers in the hot sun, so decided to leave them on the chairs we sit in the Hall. ...Well, thats what you expect when you join Band. Get use to the sweatiness. The canteen chairs were arranged at the courtyard for us to sit... Then we began rehearsing. When the Hall was available, we were told to go up. Marie was appointed to conduct for Millenium song, as DM have to do the slow march. So it went on. The band was soft. Bass drum was told to play softer as they cant hear the commands. We rehearsed for 3 times, it was late already. We fell out at 8 pm. Hmm, I wish we can wear boots instead. Go band, Hay. 10:23 PM | Tuesday, April 8, 2008
on Monday In the afternoon, we set chairs and instruments, settle down when told. We listen the recordings in the CD that Griselda burnt for us, giving some little reaction at the end of every song. We were told to practice the songs our own. When the remedial lessons in the school ended, some sections went out to practice but were chased back to the Bandroom by Mr Rama.(Its the neighbour thing again.) When Mr Tan came He went through the songs that we are performing for POP. Said we sounded rough and heavy. Due to Exams, we wont be seeing the Conductors for many weeks. So during the Band hols we have to practice, or we would deprove. (: Go Band, Hay. 3:40 PM | Saturday, April 5, 2008
Pop rehearsal Fri school ended early. So everybody have sufficent time to grab a lunch. Everyone set their instruments and went up to the Third Floor cause AngKlung was using the Bandroom and the Hall was occupied by Badminton. So DM Mui Ghern and Emmelyn guided the Band to playing to POP songs and it wasnt perfect. Then after much carrying of the instruments we decided to play in the classroom on the same level. The Percussionists had to play outside while watching DM conduct. We settle ourselves down and played. Everybody agreed it was horrible.We went for a break and came back, bringing the instruments down to the canteen. And then we rehearsed March Together and Millenium song. Then we went for a five mins break again, cause everyone was tired and not used to it. Stephanie and Minqin had to go to the courtyard and play the beats for the POP so we played in the canteen together with them. We went back to the Bandroom and the day ended. I sound like a robot.T_T Hay. |
