forgot to turn on the flash, so the colours look quite weird.. then went to Raffles City with Clement and Chester to have ice-cream at Ben & Jerry's.. had the Strawberry Cheesecake while Chester had the Chocolate Chip and Cookie Dough which I recommended to him.. Clement sneaked in some ice-cream he bought elsewhere, but it wasn't reallly worth it compared to Ben & Jerry's..

we sat beside the fountain, then Chester came up with some analogies regarding sound.. like how the water flow arches and increases and decreases.. something like cresendo and decresendo..

Saturday we hosted the other bands from the Muse Festival for the workshops and masterclasses.. Mr Tan arranged to have an exchange with the Thai band in the morning, it wasn't part of the main organiser's schedule, so we were basically alone in planning it.. spent hours during the past week planning for it, scrutinising every detail.. food was one issue, at first he said we can go out and eat.. but even with a small group of ppl going to the coffee shop to eat, there's hardly enough space there.. imagine a group of 140 ppl going out to eat, a logistical nightmare.. decided on getting one of the food vendors in the canteen to cook for us.. Lucius and I were put on that task.. Lucius dealt with the money side of the issue, while I took care of the logistics..
first order of the day was to get ready for the Thai band's arrive, us two QMs were incharge of getting the hall ready.. got the J1s to set up the chairs, then the Thai band arrived at 9+.. had a short introduction, then it was sectionals..

Sectionals..
they also had an Alto Clarinettist, though I didn't really talk much to him.. shared some warm up techniques etc, played some technicals together.. then it was full band, played first followed by them.. got Zhi Kai to help us cover since I won't be free..

played Sinfonia, recorded it down with my S2 but the table tenis ppl were having their training in the hall together with us, so theres a constant pitter-patter noise in the background.. so much for the recordning.. anway one of the pieces they played was An Old Fashion Medly, which had a very nice clarinet solo..

the 2 Clarinet Sections..
was lunch after that.. Me and Lucius went down first to get the food ready.. carrying 140 packets of food back and forth is damn repetitive.. some of the other guys came down to help also.. lunch was Lasi Lemak, made sure everyone has their share first before the 2 of us started eating.. ate with Zhi Kai since they didn't save a space for me.. hiaz..
after lunch the rest of the Muse bands came, had workshops with the SSO tutors.. we had Ms Yoko who was Japanese.. thought some basic breathing techniques.. Wee Chong was abit aprehensive about him being touched.. hahaa..
