SYF is coming in 12 days (:
i don't know why.
but i don't feel as stressed as i thought i would.
(rather, i'm stressed over SYF notes and presents. UGH.)
[and pts.]

this week had been an eventful one.
monday was the exchange.
tuesday - thursday was band prac.

this week was probably also one of the best week i've ever had in band.

i realised i've never truely appreciated the pieces,
or actually cared about the emotions behind them.
my mind was all about articulations dynamics etc.
all the technical skills.

it's sad gloria missed tuesday's band prac.
MO really said alot (:

the idea of being in band to perform for others
has never really sunk into my mind.
until recently.
i've always just thought of it as .. a CCA.
not that i don't enjoy being in band.

i changed my mindset about SYF.
i don't think it's a competition of who's the best anymore.
i think it's a platform for us to show the public what we can do
and also, it's the stage where we can touch the audience with our music.
OUR music where we put all our heart and soul into.

hmm,
for the past few band pracs,
MO has been concentrating alot about 'togetherness' and showmanship.

honestly,
i lack both of the above.

well,
i did improve on being together (somewhat).

showmanship...
i think i'm still not very into the music.
it's just...
there's too many things on my mind.
i really hope on the day of SYF.
i would have a brainwash.
and only remember about the pieces.

i'm still trying hard to put my emotions into the music.

i believe i can do it!

i won't have regrets.

anyway,
just a moment away from all these stuff.
yay,
i'm really glad i changed my reed xD
i can play louder!
or maybe it's just that i didn't make use of my full air capacity before
until yesterday.

i must say that i played the best yesterday.
i could actually hear myself!
hmm, maybe it's because of the fact that i was almost half a metre away from gloria.
but still!
i almost played perfectly for Q!
just have to watch my tuning. hmm ><

yay, thanks gloria, for being so patient with me.
i know i clearly suck at my tonguing and fingering coordination.
and the accenting with a sudden drop in volume thingy.

i'll make sure i reach at least 90% of your expectation by SYF okay? (:

(hahas. doubt she'll read this, but still.)

even though my back is aching from 4 days of band,
i'm really glad to be able to have this 4 days with MO.
man, i really love him.
he really rocks, alot.

yay,
i'm really being very optimistic.
i'm amazed by/at (?) myself.

SYF,
1st April 2009.
It's the day we play music true to ourselves,
the band,
MO.

Play with all your heart,
Feel the music,
Imagine the tension, the atmosphere.

Play for the band
and with the band.

Immerse yourself into the music
And make the audience drawn into it too.

Jys RGSSB! (:

12 days to wowing our audience (:
