ALL RIGHT! i feel so HAPPY. yes i know its a little too late to post about it only now. but you see it was a long day yesterday. it was SYF yesterday morning! yes we started practising at 7am til 7.50am then we boarded the bus. i was feeling quite fine.
you know we reached there so early! like 8am++ then we waited for awhile. well like almost 15minutes? then we went into the tuning room and did our warm-ups. then we came out and we waited awhile again. After the wait, we went up the steps and found ourselves standing by the wall waiting again. haha. yes! then we went up another flight of steps and waited again. THEN it was finally our turn to go on stage! my heart raced and my palms started to perspire. i was EXTREMELY nervous out of a sudden. to think i even felt nothing this morning. haha
we walked up the stage. and as i was walking i realised the number of people who were going to watch us was SO huge!! well i thought it was huge. and that me even more nervous!
so we started playing both our pieces. well i guess we started off quite fine? until we were starting our second piece which was our choice piece. There was this silence and the atmosphere was so intense! and then we started playing. lalala~ some people said clarinets dragged at the opening. and i know we squeaked a LOT of times! well maybe not a lot maybe 10+?? or less. i felt so hopeless for a second! i SQUEAKED!! but sir tells us to stay composed and i did.
yes we moved to the music~ im not sure about what sir was hearing from infront but i thought we played kind of monotonously. well i didnt really hear much of the dynamics when it came to the climatic parts of the piece. haha oh well so i played louder.
well i thought we played quite badly!! but roxanne told me that her friend said we were the first band that got cheered. and christine said that mr.sim said that we have a chance of obtained gold.
----------
after watching a few bands we headed back for school. it was about 12.30pm. hence we didnt attend any classes at all. except for english for me xD
yes it just so happened that my chinese orals were on this day as well. i suppose i was too traumatised due to the numerous squeakings in the morning. haha. so i wasnt really caring about orals anymore. so i just went for it! fighting spirit! whoo! haha.
i dont think i did well and i dont think i did THAT badly for orals. but i suppose i was quite fine for it. i only know my language was quite fine but my contents were so little! haha.
right met up with some band mates to go to singapore conference hall together.
it was finally time for the release of results!! we were all so terrified. i wanted so badly to be the first batch of band girls to obtain a gold for the school!!
when the man was reading out our results. he actually made some sort of pronounciation mistakes?? i dont know he stumbled at our school name and went 'blabla *stumbles*... pardon me.. CHIJ... *continues*' and then he went 'gold' then i stone for a second and i started screaming and subconsciously tearing! i couldnt control the tears that were flowing out of my eye. i had NEVER in my entire life teared for being happy about something!! (i teared not cried. haha)
by the way xinhui aka crayon had extremely dry eyes. haha xD. everybody had tears in their eyes and their faces were all red. so i calmed myself down and realised that the other bands had gotten silver and bronze and such. they were all so down. we couldnt cheer for them or praised them for their hard work incase they thought we were proud. hence we left.
then we met up with the rest of our band memebers and they were all SO happy that they were screaming so extremely loud and some were tearing! as my friends and i walked down the steps, we noticed a lot of people crying in silence. i felt so awkward. there we have our band people screaming with joy while the others were crying. maybe we should spare a thought for them and scream less?
----------
right shall end here now. first batch of band girls to obtain a GOLD for our school! im so proud of ourselves. we made history yeah. haha. now maintained this gold is another milestone we have to cross :) but for now,
WELL DONE BANDERS!
