Weather: Grey sky
3rd December 2006

OK, part 2 of ytd post.

The latest band practice
Sunlight streamed through my window, and when i awoke with blurry eyes. I found out that i'd better hurry to band practice as i was gonna be late. I was suppose to report with wei jun and joanne(she holidaying) to the band room at 9 am all together with all those going to sarawak to practice some songs for the sarawak trip. We met there earlier to try out the 4 pieces that mrs chua wanted us to play for the sarawak trip. Thereafter, we decided to try out some new pieces just in case there weren't enough pieces to play. Some included castle in the sky, accolonda and so on. In the end, IF, IF only, there were not enough, we will play covington square(maybe only). but before that, i came earlier to fix my piccolo. and suprosingly, i found out what is wrong and it is like SO DAMN SUPER NICE TO PLAY ON IT... =)
So after that, we had 2 HRS BRAKE. "siao sia..." ok, so since i not hungry. I decided to stay in the band room. Christine came down and handed me her O level stuff. haha, cool, got time slowly flip. aiya, sure get the chance. stayed in the band room with sofie, weijun, rachel, and christine. Just being left in the band room. ALONE!! WAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA!! (Er Hao, Hakeem, just in case you are reading this, we didnt touch other section's instruments INCLUDING the percussion. we didnt touch at all). then wei jun and sofie suddenly sot, wanted to march. so they marched. Behind the white board in the band room is plenty of space. So they marched marched. YOu know the drum beside the conductor's stand? ya, we beat the famous marching drum beat while they marched. haha, relax, nothing happened to the drum. Then after that, since got nothing to do, i decided to pick up my piccolo and played along some marching pieces like bandology, rough riders and stars and stripes. haha, the solo was fun. managed to play out the solo. haha, i was like so happy. =D. can ask christine if don believe. after that, we stayed in the band room and played stars and stripes again.(just me and christine) haha, since she missed the piece so much, while i tried to play the tedious and difficult pic solo. While weijun, sofie and rachel continued marching. haha, so much fun. we even marched inside the instrument room. Then wei jun outside beating his drum, while we inside slack for 5 mins. haha, he didnt realise. =p.

ok, then we went for lunch. no need tell you details. again, me, sofie, weijun, rachel and christine went for lunch. of course, talk talk, gossip gossip, chit chat chit chat. lalala.like what people would normally do laa. then went back to school.

back at school, we started with sectionals. haha, then warm ups, long tones, harmonics, testing of scales, major, minor, chromatic. (you get the idea), then we started working on the 2 set pieces. both laa. we started with movement 1, then 2. studied, played rested. etc. then, it was time to go DOWN. =). Since there is still some time left, since i and zhi hao madd, we decided to try stars and stripes AGAIN, up in the sectional area before we go down. play play play, then go down. haha, so fun. then went down, played the 2 set pieces. then cos amanda play the senza part, never change. juz keep on the same rhythm, mr chua told her like bird like that, like you know the stars and stripes piccolo solo? like bird like that. Suddenly, zhi hao and wei jun stared and me, i stared back. I was like, GOSHH, did he hear it? thought he was in the band room? oh goshh, die liao. then was like soooo super paiseh laa. nv am i gonna do it again, unless we are doing it for marching. haha, at least if the band wants to do stars and stripes ( i doubt so), haha, the pic part, i can fang xin lers=). haha. then went for break. and we took section photos.!!!eeks~ i love these photos mann. especially then one at the top, see there!! up there, my main pic of the blog. haha,hil edited the pics some how, cos she have some programme to do so. I dont have. so i used paint. (eh, wait, back to topic) then the rest of the day was fun. THe piccolo really dunno after i fix, it is like sooooo damn freagin nice to play. ALL the notes come out easily, tuning is in tune and all that. hahaha, but also muz thank huiqin for lending me her piccolo when the pics were spoilt. promise her that i have to give her a bigger present for christmas during the chalet. haha, in band, the 2 movements was fun. Then the senza part, i tried to flutter tongue. haha, andrea said that its cute. haha, cool then. "hil's idea to ask me to flutter again". haha, the flute 1 and piccolo duet was in tune. =D. and for movement 2, got 1 part the super high notes, can play out. hahahhahahahaha. WAhahahhahaha. WAHHAHAHAHHAHA. MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. *mad liaos*. haha.
and that ends the band prac where the piccolo was damn nice to chui. oh ya, and after that, stayed back to help kaiping with her flute. She really must practice if she wants to catch up.
