Band Camp - Good? Bad?
After an exhausting week in school, finally got a chance to relax myself from the intense training in the Band Camp. Well, I really enjoy the camp, after all, its much better than last year's camp. Even though there is more practices than before, we still get to enjoy the games and food. The food was much tastier than last year's, except for the breakfast... hehe...
Anyway, first day was quite alright, playing my instrument, the tuba, after months of not blowing it. While for the rest of the seniors who got to play new instruments, Ariff and I still continue to play the tuba. No choice, we forgotten everything on the major skills... We get to learn a new piece, called "Stone Mountain Fantasy", a great piece after all. We also recieve a good news from our instructor, Mr Lee. He said that we will be participating the SYF for next year. WOW!! Finally the band is joining SYF, so band members, lets work hard... hehe...
The second day was tougher than I thouught. We need to march for nearly 2 hours, which was quite tired for me, for sleeping only 3 hours the night before... Well, our team, Stacato, won first place in the dough ball... Thanks to my members and my dear god-sis, you guys are great man!!!
Well, the game was exciting but violent, as I got hit by the ball 2 times in a row at my head. OUCH!! That night, I volunteer myself to patrol around in the night. Really scared out of the wits of mine, where 6 dogs entered the school, putting our lives at risk, sort of... Anyway, Mdm Tan was still the hero, who scared out of the wits of the dogs, incredible!!!
The last day was the most 'Jia Lat' day, where got to perform our 'Solo Audition' and I passed it, with 76 marks. This was my first time passing, where i remembered last year's result was 37... I think... Well, that was the day where the camp ended. Really do enjoy it, where I learnt lots of things, especialy from Mr Lee.
Well, now relaxing myself from the Band stress. Tomorrow is another day, back for Band practice again.... haiz... This morning at 12am, watching Liverpool winning Arsenal was great... Nice scoring by Mellor at the 92 min, securing the win of 1-1 to 2-1. Well, lets hope Jimmy dont cry about it and MAn United better win the league soon... hehe... Got to go now... Always will remember this phrase, " One Band, One Sound, One Spirit!"
