MusICian

yes, it’s official. mus’art wind orchestra got 3rd place in the Open Division of the 1st National Band Competition!!! but i think we were only slighly behind RJC. could’ve gotten 2nd place, but we’re happy. the results are great, and it justifies our performance on competition day when we played oh so well. so GOLD it is! and we’re definitely a happy band. and we’ll be back at VCH performing our pieces again next sunday

concert was ok only. made a couple of mistakes, sound wasn’t that satisfactory at times, but we did ok. many thanks to the 6 NCHS members who came today, i heard your screams! so sorry you all had to hear me screw up my solo. haha. but ok lah, like you guys said, i squeaked with style. thank you for saving my embarrassment! but seriously, i was quite upset with the bad solo lah.

unfortunately, among the good news, there were some unpleasantries. firstly, my baton broke. my dear baton. my very first. broken. into 2 pieces. simply because i was rushing and i had no time to make sure that everything is put properly. secondly, my recruits had so much they didn’t understand about theory. i had to drop them so many hints the other day (not that a few of them needed the hints), and even though i dropped enough hints for everyone to pass, not everyone will pass. because they didn’t understand enough. thirdly, i’m very very broke. officially left with $30 in my bank, have about $32 in debts from tickets, and yet i wasted money on this stupid shirt that couldn’t be ironed. i might’ve damaged it while washing it, i dunno. but there goes $40 for nothing.

and i had to spoil the whole day by being late… and being jealous.

sometimes i hate myself. feel like i always make my own efforts go down the drain. please tell me i’m just not that lucky.
