today: band day. about 9 hours, the norm for weekend practices.
started by going to the field.
did formations to formations.
then mr. azlan asked me if i was going. i said i was not. nadia wasn't too. so michelle became H4, so there would be a balance. he also asked me if my steps were easy.
Please. my steps and ian's staps are like the boring-est of the whole band lah. i can count 3 formations that i don't even spin lah.
and there's only one 270 degree spin. lol.
my sec 2 one was much more fun. from DV to K1, i can vividly remember the steps:
(from stationary)S315 F2 MT2 S225 F4 S270 F4 S270 MT
and i feel that it's much more interesting.
my drills were not so good then, but hey, it's still one thing worth remembering.
as i'm blogging now, i can have someone overseas log on the comp and chat with me. lol. miss chatting. come back soon, with souvenirs!
so we went for lunch at 12 noon, at the haig road banquet. nothing much to talk about there, just that wen hui laughed a lot. it's as if kaini infected her.
...
then came the afternoon session.
drills, gimmicks, and more drills.
and mine was like such a... disaster.
speechless.
at a loss of words.
whatever.
so i finished mine, and then we had a lot more.
and we did sway!! and smoke! as per last comp.
so fun
so we added that to the comp show, and called it a day.
and mr. lawrence siao would be helping us.
damn. i got scratched twice! by instruments lah.
there's one on my thumb, another on my shin/below my knee
the thumb was caused by the french horn. i didn't even know how it got there.
knee? was caused by a very sharp edge of yug han's bells. very sharp as in it just did more of a brush on my leg and it can start bleeding.
both formed scabs liao.
and.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZHIYI!
couldn't towpok/flagpole/bash you lah. didn't even get the chance to wish him.
...
and after band, i went to inspect the dmns.
quite good, considering this is their first few times doing macework.
i did a few like the side twirling, and just normal twirling to show them. T. Chow was teaching them. 4 of them.
bowen and some other guy didn't turn up. either glenn or zheng. i didn't notice.
and it's so fun/nice to twirl the mace again!
yeah.
if you all didn't know why i'm posting with more detail, it's because a person needs update from band.
