hey.
i was too tired to blog about syf yesterday,so pardon me for the late update.
& so,the band got bronze.
yes,some of you might be thinking,"what?!bronze only??"
well you should've been there yesterday.then you wouldn't be giving such remarks.
to crestwinds, A JOB WELL DONE PEOPLE!
i am SUPER proud of all of you!!
sunrise:that was the best one i've ever heard so far.& you guys sounded SO much better than any other time it was played.SERIOUSLY!the opening was GREAT.you guys sounded pretty clean i must say.& most importantly,you guys WATCHED THE CONDUCTOR.YESSS!haha.
& i have to say,i am SUPERDUPER PROUD of the saxophone section!i can safely say that almost everything i pointed out & the little scribbles here&there on your score sheets, were followed((: ooooh im a happy HAPPY girl(:
& the rest also did superbly well!the clarinets did their running notes cleanly & still kept the tempo constant.great job you guys!!the french horns also did very well...most of their notes were in tune & the soli was nicely played together with the saxes.& the cornets!wow!that was some confident playing!it was really good(: & not forgetting the rest of the sections too!everyone played their parts well.that was REALLY an INCREDIBLE effort i must say.KUDOS!!

montevallo celebration:the opening was FANTASTIC!!seriously!haha.cornets gave a very convincing opening.the volume was just nice & the dynamics were great!both the soli parts were tight.it was really nice(: again the saxes followed almost everything i pointed out.YOU GUYS LISTENED TO ME!haha...it was superbly done okay?all the running notes could be heard clearly & cleanly,everyone watched the conductor,the dynamics were GREAT,there was hardly any slowing-down,intonation was okay& i could only hear 2 or 3 squeaks throughout the entire performance.but it wasnt that obvious,except for one.during montevallo...

but apart from that,everyone did superlyduperly great!
as soon as the band stepped out to take their seats,i was already uber excited.the rest of the seniors too!haha.we couldn't wait to clap!lol.i was at the edge of my seat for the entire performance & squeezing cheryl's hand.when you guys started sunrise, i couldn't stop smiling already.it was the best ever & i was close to tears.cheryl too!we were reaaaally proud of you guys.seriously!we were shrieking & squealing & jumping up&down from our seats.HAHA!she was SUPER happy with how the flutes performed.& i was super happy for everyone on stage!!
& then when montevallo was played,ohmygosh.that totally blew us away!it was THAT good.& again i was close to tears.NO!i was already tearing up.HAHA.& throughout the entire 10min you people were on stage,my hands were shaking.they were SHAKING!haha.& my heart was beating so hard& so fast!haha...i was relieved as soon as the piece ended.GOSH!it was amazing!cheryl & i were already jumping & squealing again!i couldnt tahan anymore so i let out a quick "woooo~GO BAND!!"lol.marlina was a cool cat.but she was still superlyduperly excited too!!haha.the seniors were very pleased with the performance & we agreed that no matter what the outcome, you guys were still winners.the medal didnt matter at all because it was an INCREDBLE effort!we're so proud of all of you!!i honestly felt that a silver was in our reach but then...hai...still,it doesnt really matter we got bronze.all that matters is that you guys have done your best.so there's NOTHING to be ashamed of.everyone should be proud of their achievements!WOOTS!
it was really a pleasure working with the band once again,especially the saxes((: gosh im really about to cry...& for the sec4s&5s,i hope you guys leave the band with your heads up high & with lots of memories,whether bitter or sweet(: to the juniors,keep working hard okay?make sure you guys keep the momentum going.it's great that mr leung's gonna arrange public performances at the end of this year.THE FUTURE OF THE BAND DEPENDS ON YOU!haha.i do hope you guys take sectionals seriously & make sure the sec1s are taught properly.& i mean PROPERLY!
OH!i hope there was enough candy to go around.hmm...but i think i owe some of you.aaah yess...the tuba sectiom.FRIDAY OKAY??insya'allah...(:

& so,i'll leave with a quote from JOEL KOH,our bandmajor...
"it's okay...we are a bronze band,with a GOLD heart..."
everybody go 'aawwww...'
