Hey percs!

Haha I'm here to post about band birthday! :D. Though I didn't get very many pictures because um, my hands were busy most of the time trying to ensure that potatoes were cooked/peeled and all, and the sec2s are camera-shy (though we really ought to change that yes :D)

OH RIGHT - THEY CUT THEIR HAIR! (and I think it's really cute :D - so does the rest of my batch.)

the sec2s cutting potatoes! (haha you know after cutting potatoes and eggs for the whole afternoon, then Xing Ern told us that she was afraid of knives oO.)

Haha mixing the mayo in!

(okay you know these pictures are all taken by me so it appears that I didn't do anything, which is not true, okay :D. I watched the timer and did all the stove-related stuff!)

And I think it looks quite gross, but it definitely tastes better than it looks :D. 

Haha right, no band for the rest of the hols thanks to H1N1 preventive measures, (though I don't see how it's going to help, considering that none of the other CCAs are being cancelled?) but hopefully there will be section outing on thursday so :D. 

Do post, to keep the blog from dying! Enjoy the rest of your hols!

Love,

Samantha!

hello :)

band break's gonna be over soon! let's all cheer! yay.

Hello!

Today we had band prac! Which was strange for a Monday. One thing to take note: Always uncover the bass drum even if we don't think we're gonna use it! And I have to remember not to give in to the juniors' laziness. Cause Mr Oura asked us to do crotchet beats on the bass drum so we had to get the cover off real quick O:

We played Perseus today! It sounds so lovely(: We've only played it a few times and I love it already! It sounds so majestic, exactly how "A Hero's Quest in the Heavens" should sound like! Ahh it's so nice... I'm listening to it now:D I love the Animato, Feroce and Cantabile parts the most. Aliza's timpani parts are so awesome! And the chimes make the whole sound of the song that much more, ehm, exhilarating! I just crash for added impact(: Sorry Sam I have no comment on your parts cause I haven't heard them yet! Don't get lost when you come back to play okay! Ehh Sam! We need to get our toms back! I tried the toms part but most of the time I had to hit the non-existent higher toms i.e. AIR *_____________* Sus cym roll upside down on the timpani is by far the scariest, yet most amazing sound I've ever heard. It reminds me of some extraterrestial sound. Oh and the ocean drum is really dirty D: but fun to play with!



Perseus - Unknown Artist

Zomg i hate imeem and their 30 second previews. Click the link and listen to the whole thing!
Doesn't it sound nice! Don't answer. IT SOUNDS NICE.

Oh yes, good luck for limelight, directs! All of us are going! I'm asking my directs tomorrow.

Love,
Deborah.

hey percs!

haha I'm here to spare Deborah the agony of monologuing! And to take a break from Pan Am and it's logo, whatever it's supposed to be ><. 

Right, if you all didn't read your emails, and for the various seniors who may see this, we have a band blog! Yup, so take a look at it? There are quite a few nice pictures of band camp there, and (for some reason) nice section photos :D. (I take issue with that one with the 4 of us staring intently at the metronome and looking remotely... emo ><)

By the way, this is Sam. (because for some reason that name thingy down there says boo!)

If you're really bored, go read the previous posts, they're amusing! :D. And we can't let the blog die! So um, poke Aliza and Xing Ern to post too! And someone, please tell the secones about the blog coughDeborahcough. 

And yup, thanks, Deborah, for fixing the html and for the photopost! Aliza and Xing Ern have a lot of... weird photos together oO. 

love,

Samantha!
