Rehearsal 1
so there goes rehearsal number one. generally rather smooth, and i’m glad i planned the rehearsal details. all the post-its on the score kinda worked, even though 90% of the time i wasn’t really looking at them. but i’m glad i did my homework (even though there are still things i need to do) and the rehearsal was at least more efficient. next time round shall zoom into smaller details. for myself, i guess it was fine, but i do feel a sense of distance from the band. many times i found it hard to get them to look up. probably i haven’t gotten enough attention from them; hard to step up into a podium that belongs to Mr Tan!
but i’m glad everything wasn’t too bad. i need to rest better before rehearsals. and i need to really know what exactly i want to say next time. i find myself still lacking in confidence. maybe once i fixed the confidence, the charisma will come! but well, i’m learning a lot, so i’m really glad to have this opportunity. and mingwei is right, i’m learning good stuff from the best person! and i find myself starting to conduct very differently now. i need to work on my confidence!!
plan plan plan! and revise, and read, and work hard, and i need a rest man. to walk further!
