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. |
