post-performance feelings

ok i'm finally updating. in case i start to forget the mani memories dat i had again.
13th july- XINFONY VIIok fine. comments from yiang and hy: blur. i do agree wit dat. fortunately, everytink including the movements were still smooth and considered alright. I was already dead beat with the previous stay sleeping at 1 plus due t band prac ending late. den didn't managed t take much section fotos. or rather dere weren't ani full section foto. Was it?
N now, seniors hav officialli stepped down. everything is for us to do on our own! when we tot our stress could be over after xinfony, mayb it has jus started. Responsibilites still stay. for the past 3 years, yes. i've been veri reliant towards the seniors. i had depended so much dat i tink i couldn't survive in band without them. Jus a simple decision, but yet taking so long t think. this is part of growing up. but at this point of time, when seniors are going to leave. ppl cry. ppl couldn't bear. but the journey for us ends here. so hope dat memories can stay in our hearts as long as possible! the happi times we had as a section. The happi parts, the scoldings part. everytink that we had endured as a section as a band. i'm really grateful for everytink dey hav done for us. From the first day i joined band, i managed to make so mani friends. And then, expand my friendship circles. i saw mani seniors wen and had saw the fun part of their side, wondering wad's kipping them so hyper all day long. And dat capabilities hav now passed on, we'll continue to kip the crapping going on, and try our best for the band to be even beta. Without the guidance, we may not be wad we are todae.. i'm gonna feel so odd. And all will be the queens and kings of my heart.
comments from all the people around. dey were all amazed by mr pan huei yuan! n i had workshops with him for 2wks. a veri short one bcoz we wer supposed to work on our own pieces for the performance on 14th july, the afternoon directly after xinfony.
he has tis sometink about him dat gets ppl motivated n starts to go high. i rmbed at the start of every workshop for the past 3 years, nobody bothered to volunteer. Dat's the wae of typical singaporeans isn't it? but i noe dere were more sponteneous acts spotted in certain schs of singapore lik other countries. At the start, nobody volunteered. but towards the end, when he asked for volunteers, we moved so automatically without ourselves noticing until he pointed dat point out. Gosh, how did he do dat? And yes, he has got everybody captivated for every performance, he maintain his contact with the audience, and has tis contagious spirit that doesn't fail to get everybody's attention. And a great percussionist! i'm really grateful dat he came again to revive my dying strokings, which i believed had deteriorated greatly from last year. but now i am determined to get even beta. to stop let my wrath being incurred by my weak strokings, which was not meant to be.
14th july- another collaboration :) percussion rawks. my section is still going more and more crappy as years goes. the juniors currently are all so talented. different ppl excels in different areas. well done.Let's try to achieve all rounders. DAt's why we are called percussionists. i hope dat will hav tis undying passion for percussion playing and not forget wad dey hav learnt during the past 2 wks of perc ensemble which dey had fun. I had too. we sang, we joked, we played. it was a wondrous time dat i had spent my time with the section. i could barely stopped laughing. Also to the percussionists of other schs, i really had fun noeing u all! How i hoped the workshop was longer, so everytink can go at a slower pace. But well. the shorter time span had made everytink so precious. i rmbed when i was in lower sec, there were more masterclasses and time to interact. WE even had the time to get a treat from mr pan X= :) but no matter wad, i've gained alot of knowledge every year.
mr pan u rawk! u rawk the whole performance. i luv the jazz pieces. i could really c from how u played on the stage. you were realli having fun. i could not uds when conductors always mention 'bout enjoying music. nOw i realy do, having seen ur performances. It really looks great too. And i believe nobody would wanna watch a tense person play. x) it's gonna spoil the person's day! So... i am going to learn from the fren u hav mentioned. "smile when screw up :)" dat's cool. wired wasn't played. it was a great learnin tour. now, rhythms weren't as challenging as dey were b4 wired. didn't regret spending time on wired. it was a great experience. i am looking forward to nxt year's. dere must be! coz i will be looking so much forward to watch all my juniors perform a great show! dey hav did well.
n i wasn't really confident now. abit demoralised. but dat's life. coz i'll get it back b4 no time. hav fun.
