well, a lot has happened last week. time for an update.

Tuesday, April 10, 2007
had our last band prac before syf. i guess that was the peak of our abilities, and it was hard to believe that after six months of pure hard work, everything ends tomorrow. ok, not everything, but our preparation and journey with night safari and madrigalum, though i think this wont be the last time we'll be playing them. at least i hope not.
sat down at our new sectional spot, and rach read out diana's letter (which wasn't three pages long, thankfully) and passed us her own letters in nice red envelopes.
went for section dinner at nydc (ah, that brings back fond memories) on rach's treat. wanted dessert, but ran out of digestive space. haha.
wondered how many of us didn't spend hours rolling and tossing in bed before really sleeping that night.

Wednesday, April 11, 2007
the finishing line to our long race is finally in view.
left class during recess to go set up instruments. had a catered lunch, teachers' treat, at the canteen, which most of us didnt finish. changed into band u and had uniform check (and everyone staring agastly at the gel with aloe vera extract. haha). tuned and played for an hour before boarding the bus.
frankly, i was quite afraid of the solos then.
reached sch before 4pm and we began our long wait. spotted this guy from pres high who was unknowingly stepping on some warm-up rhythmics score. wanted to tell him, but in the end his conductor did the job for us.
and i realised that pres high was the only band besides us who played safari for the afternoon session.
pres high went in, we were left just outside the perf hall. this was when steady amanda gave way with a "I'm scared." and we went around telling ppl we loved them and that they rocked. haha.
pres high was out, we went in, confident and ready.
we played. everything went off in a blast. and i was smiling so widely when the soloists all came in and played well that i swear the judges probably though i was crazy. but really, it felt so reassuring.
stood up, bowed, left the stage. our race was over. now begun the wait.
that half an hour seemed like eons (there must have been another communication breakdown), even though we waited 4 hrs the last time. was quite worried when we heard that most of the bands were bronze and anderson got silver.
"band 73, singapore chinese girls' school..."
*clutched chris' hand really tightly*
the euphoria didnt really sink in until we realised that there were no gold bands and only three silvers, and we knew we were the better band, despite the initial disappointment. some were really inconsolable, but hey, we made it, and that's all that mattered.
went back to school, people had stuff to say, packed up, went home.
so ends our long quest to make madrigalum madrigal. and we did it.

TODAY
had band lunch, on the conductors' treat for our hard work and effort. mingled in with the recruits. went back to the buffet table fore more eclairs and realised that there were none left. rach requested for more peach. and i disappeared halfway to go help the recruits tailor their uniforms.
apparently, we were scheduled to have an exchange with tanglin trust school, some ppl to be selected to perform with them in the esplanade. the kedah band is coming down, and some lucky ppl get to go "somewhere far away" in october, sec4s not included. sigh.
in any case, band prac resumes on 31 april. cant wait to play again, and im missing band alr.

yep. that's all.
