::1st post of the month.. wednesday had to go to school to hand in our I&R, touched up on our GPF.. labelling and all that.. then went to Jin Hao's house for PW.. had to leave early cos have practice.. walked back to school myself from his house, not really sure of the route.. mostly from memory, then just reversed the image I had..
sight read quite a number of pieces during the 2 practices we had.. Sinfonia Nobilissima one of our possible SYF piece.. Grandfather Clock Variations nice and all that, but don't really think its competition stuff.. the piece quite challenging.. only played it as woodwind and brass ensembles on wed, had to wait till fri to hear how it sounds like as a full band.. exciting and invigorating piece..
Friday had Chinese As.. brought an extra dictionary cos I thought my locker didn't have.. the compo was ok, compre part er.. the mark allocation quite high, 1st question 12marks for 3 parts? mcq 4 marks? wah, its all or nothing..
lotsa people stayed back after band.. ended quite early compared to normal, so why not.. tried out other instruments, wanted to try the sax but didn't really have the opportunity before.. asked Shao Ming for a spare instru and some fingering charts.. saxophones so much easier to play than clarinets, after a few mins could play some tunes already.. hahaa.. still haven't figured the fingerings for the extreme high notes though..


Regina had this pencil which came with her clarinet.. looks like some super high piccolo clarinet.. was thinking of doing a silhouette outline of the instruments thing for the band T-Shirt design.. I'm able to conjure how it looks like in my head, but just can't draw it down.. just too complicated..
anyway.. sat had sectionals.. played at outside the squash courts there.. extremely echo-y, practiced lotsa running notes there.. its like playing running notes on the piano and pressing the sustain pedal.. clash like crazy.. on the other hand, can hear ourselves pretty clearly.. Wei Jie came from his performance, he looks like some just retrenched worker with his rolled up sleeves.. he played some jazzy/blues impromtu thing which added to that image.. hahaa..
went to Far East to eat.. they couldn't really decide on where to eat, so I suggest the chicken rice upstairs.. haven't been there since with 1T24.. they went for NP's concert next while I took 132 home..
