BEARYLICIOUS Hi Bandits! I am here to blog about Monday and Wednesday. MONDAY: Band as usual. Mr tan came in with His coffee and started drinking. Then he discussed some stuff with Mdm Alya before starting practice with us. Ma'am Clare was halfway going through Concert Band Clinic so He allowed her to continue before starting Band, at the same time coaching her. Then we started playing Kidz Klassix, but we seemed a little tired and slack. The playing went on and on until Mr Tan felt a little pissed when the band continued to remain irresponsive. So he walked out of the room and called Ma'am elysia out with him. We were told to practice Kidz Klassix properly. Then ma'am came back in and allowed us to a 15 min break. OH not again. Mr tan became so angry that he left the band room...well actually He had some personal matters to attend to instead... We went on with sectionals and we have to practice our parts properly. Mdm Alya gathered the people playing the ensemble in the storeroom and started to create thier parts with this fascinating music notation software. Lunch was good, but it was nothing compared to Band. Now we have energy to play better, whoot. (And when walking back to school, we saw many orange pointy things with white stripes and flat bases.) Mr Tan came and conducted Kidz Klassix, now we have filled ourselves full with Shrooms Burger and Fish Fillet, we are able to concentrate. We went through Blue Ridge, and Mr Tan thought we might memorise and play it while closing our files. But after that He seemed to have forgotten... WEDNESDAY (TODAY): So anyways, today's practice was for the 70th anniversary. so all the main band mambers had to report at 8.15 am for preparation of the rehearsal. The junior band remained in the bandroom for the practice with mr yea. Then warmed-up and tuned by 8.30 so that Ma'am clare could go on with a combined band warm-up. Then at 8.45, we were ready to go up the hall carrying our instruments. Up there, we just played what we were supposed to and stop when we are told to. For the whole time, we were mostly doing nothing. It was really messy when Ma'am Clare conducted the ensemble and the Band at the same time, as we were told to split up. -.- It was a bad idea. BUT the whole rehearsal only ended at 1 plus, and nothing much was done. Some had lunch late and then there was nothing much to do in the afternoon session cause there's so little time left. So we only had a while of combined rehearsal as a whole band. We tried playing Blue Ridge with our files closed and it was not bad. We were told to memorise the songs that we are playing for 70th cause it would be dark during the performance and cant see anything. It was really a boring day, we would have spend much time practicing instead. *Brick Hay |
