The highlight of today was none other then ALUMNI! :) No regrets here. We started at 7 plus (what's new? haha) and had combine woodwind sectionals at recital studio with Timothy conducting. Very most productive I must say :) WE HAVE THE COOLEST SAXOPHONIST ON EARTH. i love the sax solo. i love love love it! Um-chio-ing already! So anyway alumni rocked cause we had a productive session.
On going back to the bandroom, we changed positions hence clarinets sitting second row! I LOVE TT PLACE MAN CAN WE PLEASE DONT HAVE TO MOVE IN FRONT! i love that angle. Where you can stare at cool players and look around at the happenings of the band from that secret quiet corner. Unlike in front where I only one view -- of the conductor. And so, Derrick is so cool. The way he plays the conga. And the tom parts at 'Death' (Deaf) for Saga. And the uber cool drum set pickups galore in galaxy express! Interesting how Lihao was busy being a percussionist for today. Bass drum so funny. So loud haha! Derrick was being funny and being a trumpeter for the day. I love his drum set. Somehow I just love the sound of it. Maybe I'm being biased :) Lookit came in just in time to play his Saga solo. I love 'Sabbath' solo parts! from 2nd alto to sop sax to tbone to trumpet! The band was uber cool today! With people like yaocong, rachel! plus the saxes galore! plus terence ho's ilove english horns solos! plus cool brasses. I loved every minute of combine today and for once I had no complains that at 10 plus we were stil ONLY at Saga :) Thank goodness for ms chew to suggest doing galaxy once through. I wanted to!
the galaxy express three nine will take you on a journey a never ending journey, a journey to the stars.
It's true, the way the recording pronounces journey is super funny :) Such a cute singing part. I really love that song especially when the trumpeters lift up at 'I' SUPER LOUD ALREADY BECAME LOUDER!
Anyway, I've found the most retarded trill on earth. Try trilling tuning C there the Eflat to Fsharp. Damn retarded.
So sad only have such few alumni pracs left! I must treasure this coming week dearly. With school, as well as alumni. Most happy memories. (:
