okay. so now i am currently in the library's computer room,idling time cos i will only be meeting chan and trish @ 4plus. this place is SUPER quiet and it kinda of freaks me out. probably because there arent many ppl in sch except for the j2s who are having their block test today.
so today was band and i was sosososo scared. you cant imagine how worried i was for the combined today cos only j1s have to attend due to the j2s having block test. and there are like only 2 ppl in my section, including me?! it was like wth?!
at least it's still better than pae.
yeah, i was the ONLY j1 trombonist during pae lah! i'm the only pure trombonist during the pae batch according to cheeri. seems that there's another person who can play the trombone but he aint pure trombonist cos he seemed to have switched from tuba to eupho then to trombone. yup. and he didnt join band >.< so that leaves me alone.
luckily i still have jannah with me. i told her like dont know how many times i was scared lah. HAHA. cos tkgs ppl always tell me that ms seah very fierce and all that. jannah claims that she's just crazy. LOL. but according to her, she's alrdy very nice to mj band. cos her angry mood in mj is in fact her happy mood in tkgs o.0 her temper was rather good today but could tell that she was a bit angry when one of the flautist kept on laughing and couldnt play properly. courting death it seems, according to the tkgs ppl. HAHA.
we played the circle of falls, which is actually major scales and it was extracted from the 'i recommend' book! hahaha. then we played a bit of vesuvius. gosh. i was forced to play the 1st part and jannah also had to come up from the 3rd part to the 2nd part cos ms seah realised that there weren't anybody playing the first part. and oh my, i have to practise my high notes once more. the score is SICK! loads and loads of lines drawn below the black dot and i was like 'what note is that?' lol. the highest is high Bb. i was having difficulty playing it. my pitching is always not correct and even if i can pitch it, i cant play it during the actual one cos tempo is quite fast and i cant pitch that fast and well!
and ms seah still kajiao-ed me " the notes not high what, just a lot of lines only" >.< she's rather.. comical? haha. like when we were tuning the notes, the clarinetist was rather soft and her sound was also not opened. so ms seah actually told her this
ms seah:"put yr hand into the bell"
girl"huh?"
ms seah:"put yr hand into the bell. take out the snake or the big fat cat out of yr instrument. you sound so stuffy!"
LOLOLOLOL.
and i realised that ms seah's way of tuning is very similar to mr wong's. both of them would use the keyboard to play the tuning Bb and we are supposed to tune with it. difference is, ms seah does it one by one and not section by section. i dont know why but it was so obvious if you're playing out of tune in the band room cos i can hear the clashing VERYVERY clearly! i have never heard it so clearly in chung cheng before! jannah said maybe because the keyboard sound was very loud so thats why we can hear so clearly. hmmmm... !
i hope there will be more trombonists coming to my section cos it's rather impossible for 2 trombonists to survive right? it feels like hongting and ee loong batch to me. cos jannah is a bass trombonist, and that reminds me of hongting. i have to play 1st now and this reminds me of ee loong. OMG. BUT! rumours are rife that a trumpeter may come over to my section as well as to the french horn cos there are only 2 trombonist and french horn players when there are 7 trumpeters! so inbalanced right? there are 8 percussionists as well! so many! my batch of band players are damn weird. you either have a section with too many ppl or a section with too little players like mine >.< it seems that there aint any tubists cos i didnt see any today during combined.
alright, guess i just have to practise to prepare for combined on wednesday! hopefully, wednesday would be even better and i must count properly and be more confident when playing!!
btw, i missed out triton ogl outing today. wonder if it was fun, they must be still playing @ sentosa now! aww. who asked myself to have band today and i also have to get my fbt shorts so that i can wear for chalet this coming wed! :D wonder how many i should buy. HAHAHA. and i will be watching the leap years later! though i know the leap year is alrdy like one week ago? HAHA.
step up 2 looks nice :) kinda of feel like watching. hees.
