HI HI! Back from band camp. Finally. Damn tired. Especially my lips. Argh! Tone gone. So blast now.
Day one.
We checked into our bunks and went back for Brass Sectionals! Ah!! All the tables were taken away. Left chairs, so I made use of them since no one wants to use them anyway. Chairs FTW!! But in the end backache sia. All because of people like Owen and Eric. 8 and 9 tables respectively. WTF?
Beginning, we had lots of rest. I saw hope that my lips would not get strained. We joked around and mr tan was alright. We sight read through Eiger and Lion City Festival before finally going for lunch. Kool!
LUNCH IN BAND CAMP TOTALLY SUCKS! Opps... Sorry. MTDC FOOD ROCKS! Best thing, it's free. LOVE MTDC TTM. Wow. Loads of short forms in this post.
Senior band.
Showering was cool! I wouldn't say cool... Maybe interesting. Because we showered with girls. Or rather, they with us. Don't anyhow think little children. There were separate cubicles. They said the girls' toilet was full, thus the bathing in boy's toilet incident. Zhen yee was the first and thus dubbed brave by the rest. Haha.
Dinner was as bad as lunch. Sorry.
We had section talk. ' Our clients' information is confidential. ' Lol. And tutoring with Mr tan. We worked on junior pieces. Junior's were generally ok. Seeing lots of improvement le. GREAT : ) 12 more days. Now left senior band pieces. * Cries at Bush Dance solo *
Then we headed back to band room to rehearse Eiger and Lion City! Uber Nice! Although we sight reading.
Harmonic dreams!
Day two.The whole morning, was dedicated to Bendemeer primary school band. They were adorable. So, it doesn't matter. Haha. Lips were already tired but i decided to play for the primary school kids. Do well! By the time they left, my tone was already blasty and non-central.
We had junior band after they left and called it night after the Tasmania trip briefing and one more session of senior band.
Day three.Woke up and did senior band followed by lunch and junior band. Tiring! We washed our instruments and home sweet home! CLEAN! And i talked to some people whom I've never talked to this band camp. Cool!
Harmonic dreams little musicians!
