YAY! I shall post every single detail here :) This post is gonna be looonnnnngggg.....
Michelle came to my house at around 10pm. Didn't tell Rachel she was coming cos I wanted to give her a surprise, which wasn't really very successful -.- Then we went to KLP for lunch. HAHA we met Yu Xin and her family at the food court!!! XD Also met Frederick. LOLS.
Then went back to my house to take our stuff and walked to school. Thought we were late but we weren't. Everyone was busy with the concert booklets. So me and Michelle started giving out the notes. Mimi you left Ming Li, Ashley and Jing Xian's notes at my house :( I'll pass them to you on Monday! :D
Then had rehearsal at the PAC. It sucked :( I think we (especially me) didn't play quite well for the rehearsal D: No wonder Mr Ng was so angry :( Played through the whole repertoir from the back to the front. I think I fell asleep for like 5min during Shao Shan't solo. Sorry Shao Shan! D: Was feeling damn tired and quite sick then :( Got sore throat and runny nose.
After the rehearsal, we went back to the band room and slacked. I was Shao Shan's stand hahahaha!!! :D Oh ya and we played with the senior high flutes :D Played some wierd but fun game haha :D Laughed a lot XD
Had dinner in the hostel canteen. The food was ok larh. Then played at the piano in the hostel canteen :)
Then had a dry run for the concert. Practised on the movement. Then when we finished, there were already soooo many people outside the PAC waiting for the concert to start :O Omgomgomg! So then those not playing for the Mozart Flute Concerto went down to the band room to tune. Then in the middle of tuning, Keng Heng told us to go up again. So we quickly went up, only to find him telling us to go back down again -.- LOL! My friend was like asking me why we keep coming up going down one -.-
Then at 7.35pm, we went back up. I FORGOT TO BRING JING REN'S FILE!!! D: So I quickly chiong back to the band room to take the file. I think all the senior high people were staring at me but I was too scared and nervous to care :( Luckily brought the file up on time! Sorry Jing Ren and thanks for reminding me! :D
So waited at the backstage. Could hear Shao Shan playing from there haha :D Then when the audience clapped after the 3rd movement we were like panicking and chionging to get into our lines -.-
Krommer was ok, except I dunno why but I couldn't produce any sound for the first few notes :( Then after that was alright :D Bagatelle was, erm, horrible. I think I was out of tune when I came in one of the parts D: I tried to play softer, but ended up playing too soft until can't hear for the first 2 notes!!!! D: Blue Shades. Ok larh. We rushed at the last part though :( And I still like the "dirty" part haha! :D
Ok end of first half.
Intermission! :D
Tried to find my parents but couldn't find them until the last moment when the second half was about to start -.- My bro was talking to his seniors from his band (is it? I dunno leh, they look older -.-) when I approached him. I dun like him larh :( Say what our band suck, keep rushing etc :( Anyway I know he only teasing me so I told him his band must be able to play better than us first before they can critisise us haha! :D Ok I won't take that to heart. But his bassoon playing also quite lan larh. Tried playing Concerto D'Amore with him but must go until like damn slow so he can catch up -.-
2nd half!
Alumni band played first. They played an ensemble, dunno what ensemble but nvm -.- Then Senior High Band played Fantasy and Variations on a Danzi Theme by Louis Spohr, Warabe-Uta Fantasy by Matsuo Yoshio and Caribbean Highway by James Barnes. We waited backstage again. At first thought they were playing 2 songs only. Then after the 2nd song we started panicking and chionging to the door, only to hear them starting on their 3rd song -.- LOL!
Went in again after their 3rd song. Played Spanish Trumpet. Also quite ok. Then Two Symphonic Movements. My friend's friend (sry I forgot who :X) said that they liked that song yay! :D
So after the concert, we went back to the band room to pack and take pics! :D Oh then we went up to the PAC to see if got anything to bring down but in the end there was nothing left -.- So I forgot who asked me, Rachel and Cheryl to check for rubbish -.- LOL...???
Oh ya and a BIG THANK YOU to Michelle, Elisabeth, Chen Si, Yu Xin, Ming Li, Jia Qi, Jing Ren and Weilin for the notes, chocolates and sweets! :D (Pls tell me if I've left out anyone :X)
Ok done with my post. Wasn't as long as I expected. Actually I didn't really post all the details. Too many so I decided to post those interesting ones :D
K byes! :D I need to do tuition homework!!! D:
P.S. Rachel I just remembered I owe you $9. Forgot this morning but luckily I remembered after finishing this post haha! :D
