Band practise

I went to Wesley Methodist Church today for a section of band practice. I had to go there two hours earlier since my dad won't be free to fetch me if I insisted on going at 4 p.m. Well I reached there by one thirty, and was surprised to find a bugler there already. Seems that some of the seniors have a section of camping lesson at two. I thought about tagging along with them but decided against it, I still had three songs to memorize and I just started on my book "Raising Dragons".I chose the later and I buried my nose in it. Soon, the other members started to arrive and it was too noisy to continue on. I reluctantly shut my book and took a peek at my cell phone. Three thirty..... still early.

I later learned that we had a section of "warming up". We were to run around the church to train our physical endurance and do a little stretching. I seriously thought that it was a waste of time. But I was in no place to give any humble opinions. Anyway, we started practicing with our instruments at 4 sharp. The practice was really bad. Seems that lots of people didn't had enough practice including myself. I really do hope this condition would improve. ALL THE BEST PALS!!!

Band

Today, I went to school to practice with the BB band. Well, I play the trombone, that was my first instrument. I started playing a year ago but I must say I'm not very good at it too. We played Eye of The Tiger without trumpets because there were no trumpeters in Form 3. The performance was to be done during the Form 3 concert which is just a method of the school to keep us busy after our PMR. This is my first go for this song and my second solo, I messed up my first. Except for a little complains from Josiah on me being unable to produce an offbeat effect, I guess it went smoothly today. Josiah plays the flute, the piano and the violin. He is one of the pros I admire.

The reason I ended up soloing is that my 'mentor'( a year and a half ahead of me) and dear friend Christopher was chosen to be the conductor. He is my age. Today, he had a stomach ache and so failed to turn up. Hope there is nothing serious about it.
