Don't Regret

Friday, April 18, 2008

It was the last day of Band Practice until the exams are over. So naturally it would be the time we would oil our instruments to keep them from rusting for 3-4 weeks.

But we started off the practice with doing sectional when Mr Pisit was around. Sir came in with a foul mood. I think it was partly because the Percussion Section had lost both the Super Mario's Percussion II and Percussion III scores. Well actually I think it was the main reason. So Sir demanded us, the Percussion section, to play the whole piece, from start to the end. I struggled a bit for the Ending Theme because I haven't learnt up the whole movement so it didn't quite sound good.

And yeah, he knew we lost the scores. As one of the leaders in the Percussion Section, I felt guilty for my own actions because I did not take good care of the scores and did not help the juniors sort out their parts. Through this situation, I realised it's very important and crucial we keep our own scores and as leaders, we must oversee everything small details and not neglect our juniors and leave them on their own. I hope the juniors will learn a lesson and not repeat the same mistake again.

The instrumentation list that I did, I was quite happy that I finished it but Su Juen and Kelvin said that I did it wrongly. I was shocked because I didn't know it was done wrongly but also I wanted to learn how to do an instrumentation list out the proper way. So we did the instrumentation list...I found out that actually a score is designed in a way that it usually allows 2 players to play one score. Some of the more heavy pieces scores is usually done by one person only. It was educational and fun at the same time.

I feel glad that the Alumni are coming back to help us out. Though it seems they are taking charge some times but they have the best interests at heart. They came back to help because something is wrong with our playing or our organisations. Don't see it as a nuisance, we are inexperienced so we need as much help as possible to make this concert a sucess. I wouldn't come back if my juniors feel I'm interferring too much. It will just make them hate me. So please open-minded and think for the greater good.

Haiz...why must it turn it out like this??....
