Annual Parade Rehersal...

2005-07-14T20:29:00.000-07:00

Today, we had the AP rehersal...first one for the band...i was playing the tenor drum...a very old one that the band had...its a ceremonial drum
We were supposed to have three rehersals...
The first rehersal went quite well...everything was OK except for the bass drummer who kept forgetting his beats...
Then, in the second rehersal...nobody told the band that there were some changes made to the parade, and they thought that we were lousy and did not noe when to play the songs...imagine their nerves...
Finally, everything was almost finished...Then, the teacher-in-charge overlooking the parade came up to the mike and said "God has blessed us with this good weather...let it continue for our third and final rehersal for the day" ... a few seconds later..it began to rain very heavy and the third rehersal had to be cancelled...HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
The tenor drum got wet and i had to wipe it with my t-shirt before the water got into the wood and spoilt the whole drum...that t-shirt was sooo dirty after that....
Well, that's about it...at least we had two rehersals...better than nothing!!!

S.A.M..the old SJI

2005-07-13T19:19:00.000-07:00

Today was most probably the worst school day of my life!!!
I had a dental aapointment...plus a medical check up!!!

At dental, i had to wait sooo long...actually, we were supposed to go during the June hols, but, as expected more than half my class did not go)...i took almost a full hour there!! The dentist checked my teeth and said that they were in good condition...luckily...the boy before me sat on that Dental seat for a full 20 minutes before the dentist let him go!

Then, we had the medical check up. There, i realised that i seriously needed new specs... i even failed my vision test with even my glasses on! Then, there was a spine test...luckily, my spine did not have anything wrong with it...unlike one of my friends whose spine was 6-degrees off(for his sake, i wont mention names...hehe)

After school, we went to the Singapore Art Museum...the building that is the old SJI. I went with my art class to go view some of the AEP 'O' Level art pieces...most of them are very artistic and were goooood...but there was one piece, this one with a few hands on it...i dont think the guy knows how to draw, they were terrible...
.............And that was another day of my life wasted looking at art..............

Renaissance XV (Day 2)

2005-07-09T12:55:00.000-07:00

Today was the 2nd day of the Renaissance concert...
Once again, the pipers and drummers played for the pre-concert performance...
This day was better that the first...we had more audience...and at least some of them stayed till the end...watching and cheering for us... i tink the only reason for this is 'cause the most of the pple coming today were the SJI boys..bringing their frens...galfrens...
More audience, so we tried playing more songs with less breaks...as usual, the harnest cut rite into my shoulders once again...pain!!!!!
We tried this funny thing...a drum solo with my SL, Christian, leading us(telling us who play, wat vol.etc...)
Of course, we screwed up...the signals given by Christian was not clear(he wanted to hide his signalling from the audience so that we looked more professional..HAHA)...there was this one time both the HTS-es stopped playing...but then, the bass drum was still playing...we didnt noe wat to do.............the audience seemed to be expecting something, so not wanting it to look like a screw up, i started playing again...........
U noe wats the worst thing, that same mistake happened TWICE!!! (Horror beyond imagination 4 me!!)

Finally, we finished off with the School Rally...did a 'Kekiri dan Kerkanan Pusang' and marched off..........................

Once back in the clubhouse, the Sec 2s and some Sec 3s had to go for the main performance to perform the 'Josephian March'. The rest of us waited hungrily in the clubhouse...
Finally, at around 8.30pm, everyone was back. By then, it was pitch black in the school compound{except the clubhouse and the PAC(where the band was performing)}...
We took our food packets to the third floor foyer and had a moonlit dinner in the dark(the maintainence guy did not let us switch on the lights)...after that, some when to watch the concert...the rest of us just stayed in the clubhouse....

At around 9.30pm, the concert ended and we went to help the band carry back the instruments...around 10.15, the band rushed down to the canteen for our traditional 'Band toast'. after that we ran to the parade square and finally, wewere dismissed.
By the time i got home..it was like 11.30 already!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least it was a good day and our efforts had paid off!

Renaissance XV

2005-07-08T22:42:00.000-07:00

The SJI Military Band had its band concert today... by the way, i play e drums (but i'm in the bagpipe section)...hehe... We bagpipers(n drummers) performed in the pre-concert performance. We just stood in a big, big semicircle around the Pretzal(some sculpture in SJI) and played song after song after song...of course, we had a few breaks...
The worst part of the whole thing was that we had absolutely NO audience at all!!! Imagine our luck! 1 or 2 pple did stop by though... my SL(Section Leader) told us later, ' We played so well and got the audience sooo excited that they could not stop walking!'
After that miserable performance, we all went back to the clubhouse(e place where pipers go to 4 practice...its in the brother's quarters), exhausted, tired...and dead...lol
My body was aching like mad...We made new harnests for the 7.5kg HTS(High Tension Drum), and the paddings had no effect AT ALL! The metal practically cut into my shoulders...can die wan!!
That day, most of the section stayed to watch the concert, but i went home...
