well...rise concert was quite fun...learnt quite alot, not the practical stuff but the mental stuff which gave me lotsa motivation...oh btw, im talking abt ziluo and aldwyn, not the way the SE ppl treat instruments...yeah...i admit, i may be a tad younger than them lah, so my practical standards shouldnt be better than them, but hey, in the world of music, age doesnt really matter...i mean, when mozart was 6, he would prolly have owned like a few thousand pianists who are at least twice his age...so yup, must start working hard now...hope getting a teacher will help and maybe getting into SNYO would confirm that i didnt waste 7 years trying to play a trombone properly...SNYO isnt everything, but its a gage of yout standard...and of course, being prinicipal trombone for RJCSB...it aint gonna be easy, but when you have feelings for your batch, for the music, (not for that band yet), have the respect for the conductor, you would want to do your best for the band, and thats wad im gonna do...
okay, on to the more serious stuff...WHO THE HELL DO SE THINK THEY ARE??...i sometimes wonder why mr oura didnt want to form an orchestra with the SE guys...maybe he loves band too much???...but frm my experience with SE, the only thing that they like, or have respect for seems to be the bandroom...given that their own "varese" was taken away...i admit, i would love to play for them again, but when i play for them, im playing for the music, not bcuz im a rafflesian and have to play for RISE...im totally apalled by their behavior and their treatment of our percussion instruments (and to some extent, their own instruments)...when someone tells you to hold the timpani by the legs and not the skin, you jolly well listen bcuz that instrument costs more than your life and your violin/viola/cello/double bass and its not yours...you are a noob in handling of percs and wad makes you think that you can just do wadeva you want with something that you dunno???really stupid...nxt, we all know that you have done us a great favour by lending us your double basses and we returned it by lending you our perc instruments for your concert...but hey, the deal stops there...we didnt abuse your double basses right...we didnt like go scratch on them for put a tuba on them right???...we lend you our percs doesnt mean that we give you the rights to abuse our percs...also, its really stupid to put your violins on our timpani...firstly, there is every chance that your violin will drop off...and secondly, you are destroying the timpani...sometimes right, i really agree with wad trevor sze said "i cant believe im in RI"...really stupid...lastly, who the hell gave you permission to play samba on our instruments????...and for the record, it doesnt sound remotely nice...it sounds pathetic...
okay...now im done...but to be honest, there are some really nice guys in SE, just some idiotic guys who have just destroyed their nxt year's concert when they dunt seem to understand instructions...no matter what, even if im in rjc nxt year, im gonna make sure that our percs dunt land in the hands of SE...
