heyy again! ok, here comes the recount of today.

ACJC Band Tune In =D

well, lectures ended super early somehow its really just a waste of time. yup then we went to acjc for tune in. there was games and all in the morning, all the super lame but fun games and my group was laughing non stop la. and my group leaders are seriously hilarious and yahh lame and whatever other words there are la. and some attempted match making session. hurrr. yea but it was fun =)

had lunch with the french horn section and i dunno how many of us there were la. 15 mebbe. wah the section is madd. like crazy. haah and of crs that makes everything even more fun!

ok then comes the hmm exciting part. combined band prac. there were like. i dunno. 150 of us? more than that? it was such a hugeeee band. HUGE. yea. almost impossible to tune and balance. what, 21 trumpets and 14 horns? madness. and goodness knows how many trombones. and clarinets and flutes wahh uncountable alr la. but now i really know what is meant by a full sound. when we played concert Bb. yea everything was so loud. very loud. at the beginning. i could hardly hear myself with the volume i usually play in sc band, where i can hear myself so super well i hear the slightest mispitch i make. haha. so of crs play louder la. but then everyone just had to tone down la. or else everyone will just go deaf.

and then, the pieces we playeddd! haha. you see, you all will go "hahhhh, shit there's a high G" when i giv u some score w a high G in it. and you thought the random Ab here and there in abram's and tt one Bb could kill. wait till you see the score i played today. High High C okay. and not like one random C smowhere but it was all over the place. high A is such a common sight, needless to say G. its like, aiyah only G. haha. and those notes are like in some v tiring part of the piece. it was only about 2hrs plus prac and i played high notes until really want to die. and i thought playing 2nd horn wont be so bad. who knows, 1st n 2nd equally high. hurr. but one good thing is, can just blast, coz everyone else are loud too.

ok tts the high-ness of the notes. and now running notes. Symphonic Overture. seriously, just press ur valves and blow man. and we were all sight reading, and that piece is almost impossible to play with sight reading. but it's a really nice piece. very challenging, splattered with high high Cs and other high notes and crazy running notes and dunno what, but it was really fun to play it. really got to concentrate man. yea ok and we played GR Selections and this 2 marches and The Multitude with One Voice Spoke. very nice pieces with interesting horn parts. really nice ones.

yea anw that is just to tell you all what happened la. next time any of you get a chance to go for any tune in in sec4, must go okay. it's really really a good experience and exposure. coz it's really different. to play in such a big band. play pieces with that level of difficulty and having to sight read it. yes, very good sight reading experience and really tests how well u can sight read. yea it really challenges and motivates you to practise in some ways la. sitting next to some pro playerr. now thinking abt it, pieces like soar and star or whatever we are playing is really quite simple compared to all these pieces the JC bands play.

so if u intend to continue with band in jc, pls start NOW. and yes better continue w band. practise ur high notes. if you wait till sec4 like me before u start ahh, later u'll be struggling. haha yea. practisee ppl.

hmmm tune in was great la. esp combined prac. =D




anyway, practise hard and play well when im not around childrenn.. i'll be back to see you again on hmm 16th or 17th. dont miss me too much haha. *mmwahh!*
