Aaah...just finished dinner *burp*! (well, actually, I wish I could do that. -.-") Today was a long day, and I mean damn long day...but school time passed quite quickly I might say. After that got band from 4 to 6pm...laming around most of the time lah...after that me and bertwin took turns to play drumset solos. Learnt new things! Wonder if I can apply later on. Bloody merry widow. It seems every song I play in TPJC it has something against me. I played the vibes for merry widow and I had to frickin use 4 mallets...[I DONT DO 4 MALLETS VERY OFTEN YOU SEE.] and if that wasn't enough, it was 3 notes at the same time...in crotchets and quavers, in 2/4 time. AFTER THAT, it switched immediately to running notes...arpeggios I think. At an even faster speed, and after that switch back to the 3 notes again. Bloody shit, holding 4 mallets and playin running notes can be annoying sometimes. And I was like sight reading the running notes all the way lah. Note for note every count, but still can produce good rhythm...although quite a number of wrong notes. HAHA! but its on the vibes, who cares?! Woohoo...this proves my sight reading hasn't deteriorated...in fact improved, I think.

Damn JC band is demanding when it comes to musicality...I finally understood that. =)

Wonder how the band did for the speech day rehearsal today. Can't go because I was BANNED (no ulterior intentions by saying that)...hope shane found it easy to teach the timpani parts to Justin today. I found it rather easy editing the two songs on the timpani parts last night. Did both within 10 minutes! LOL. Damn it, now I have to come up with a drum solo. Not by peer pressure, but by self pressure. I need to get one out for the line...NOW!

I can see the band is heading in the right direction. Although I *feel* that mr poh's "very good, very very good" during the band's last few formation runs were a little of an overstatement, they still have the chance to conquer this hurdle. Titans Marching Band, Top Band 2006, Best Drum Major award. After that, National Day Parade, Chingay and Istana performance. We'll blow the president right out of his socks...yeah!
