Hey guys, back again. At the beginning of this post, I must admit that it's not so bad for me goin for TPJC band pracs, as I've realized. I have lots of fun with the guys in my section, and our skill levels are almost on par, so music wise, we can really click. What unnerves me, in fact, is the hours and the frequency of band practices. Apparently due to band practices I miss most of my holiday, and that includes going for Titans band pracs, which starts next week. Yes, we have a concert coming up and that should be of upmost importance. But since when have I paid attention to 'importance'?
Kampong Ubi performance is next week and I feel...slightly weird about it. Seems to me like "oh it's just another performance". Rather than the usual excitedness I draw from it. There's going to be a drumline segment, so watch out for that! I don't intend to miss it, and 99.99% I'm goin for it. haha. the 0.01% is of course, my mum. -.- sunday...a day where I am always chained to the house and act according to the whims of my family. Its not a bad thing, to spend time with family, but sometimes she just overdoes it -.- makes it seem like an absolute necessity. Well, working, for you, is an absolute necessity, but do you like it? nooooooo... (russell peters style)
Okay. The percussion instructor at TPJC taught us traditional grip [for those who don't understand..its the grip drumcorps use. For those who don't know what a drumcorp is... -.- think cavaliers.] and four stick tricks. Well, three, actually. One of them is so stupidly simple it shouldn't even be called a stick trick. My percussion mates and I (well, the guys, actually) spent the entire afternoon practicing the tricks after the instructor left at 12:30. So you can imagine how psyched we were about them. And now we can use traditional grip freely during practice, according to our preference. Nice to have a little more freedom. =)
Titans drumline! Interested in the stick tricks? I'll come by and teach you guys next week =)
Okay, thats all. I still haven't finished reading Da Vinci Code. I feel like such an idiot. Goal for myself this week : to finish the book by friday. That leaves me two days. Goal setting is so motivating...don't you think? =)
cheers!
