biennial syf..
11 may 2007. at sch.
went very early with geri, yq and zh... to queue for tickets for morning session. haha.. tot we were quite early.. but there are quite a no of pple who had started queue-ing. and i didnt know my fren was as crazy as me. she was first in the queue. she reached 635am??
results? haha... surely got pple happy and sad. luckily when i was happy when i took part in syf. Chosen- Time To Take Back The Knights. woohoo! victory song. when we first sight read this piece, it was very nan ting. cant even get any melody out of it. that could be a reason why we felt that we want to conquer this piece. we tried movement for rosa, jericho and loads more. we spent quite abit of time choosing for the right piece.
lin sheng is really a good conductor. he totally let us have a say in whatever pieces we play. we are able to decide our concert repertoire.. and syf pieces, he will bring alot of scores and ask us to sight read every piece and ask for our vote and see which piece we like. if dont like the piece, how to play well right?
then when a piece is decided... everytime, he will ask us for our opinions on how to make the music sound nicer. maybe there are a handful of pro players in my batch, so... every band prac he will ask "ze me yang?"
very very nice conductor. sigh, my vocab is limited. but yar, nv once raised his voice at us. we took really long to peak the other time. sometimes, u can see he is quite pek cek..somemore our really lousy aircon makes the band room so HOT! 2 additional fans are really not enough.. and fans would affect the playing. sigh, tj no money mah. there was once aircon spoilt, 70++ band members tried prac in band room, i felt like in a SUPER hot furnace la. in the end, we had to shift to LT to play. then... too much echoes, lin sheng ended the prac early.
he always ask for transparent sound from the clarinets. hahaha!
and he conducts with chopstick during our usual band prac. and is the round wooden kind. sometimes the piece gets quite exciting, lin sheng will get high too.
same as ms sia, they very zu zhong tuning.. and warm up. we can spend alot of time doing warm ups. sometimes i get very sian of the warm ups. but it is very impt to get a good basic.
old man surely felt so disappointed this time round.
sigh, most prob used up too much magic during 2005. left alittle for 2007. hahahahaa okok, band, recover fast okies? we still have syf 2009 and counting.. anyway, 30 years... all GOLD medals... which sch can do this right? gold or more, nothing else.
actually, i tot of many many reasons why we didnt get the gwh this time round.
could it be YOKE-YEO? this is such a fine eg. she is kinda jinxed leh. she ruined tkgs (but luckily we're back, STRONGER!!) and now, she wanna ruin my tj :( :( :( :(
could it be the number 14???? i believe in the feng shui!!!!!!
could it be the new arrangement of band seating??
could it be.... blah blah
hahahaa so many reasons, not definitely not because of lin sheng or juniors... everyone tried their best. even the lousiest band, their band members would have tried too.
i am feeling... hmmm how to say leh. went to be with the band after the results. crying, expected. boys are crying.. i really dunno how to console them. lin sheng came.. and started to an wei those who were crying. sigh, all bowed their heads. no encouraging words can help right now. they need time to get over this bah.
they will put up a VERY good performance on 19 may.
haha, wanna hear tj syf? the choice piece, very good. when i was listening, nearly moved to tears. maybe it was tj who is playing, the jap song is REALLY nice and touching.. and they played with their hearts out.. but perhaps not enough la.
arrrrh! put the song on rep mode. so so very NICE...but not perfect.
hahaha last but not least, congrats to MJ!!! yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah gold!!!!!!
and... i was really very touched. THANKYOU geri and weekiat!! for the tix. really loh... omg.. thankyou... again, i am so so blessed to have great frens like u pple..
talked to geri last night. hmmm, i will make an effort and do everything to keep our friendship btw the few of us going.. for next 5 years, 10 years, 20...30... and more more more more more..
