Yesterday was really fun and interesting; we had a band exchange with Maris Stella Symphonic Band, who has the same resident conductor (Mr Chiang) as us :)
First we had a masterclass by a guy called Mr Sim together with the Maris Stella Percussion section, he taught us many techniques for every instrument. Then, both of our bands gathered at the hall to listen to each other play, and Maris Stella played a song called "Give Us This Day" which sounded very cool. Also one of the percussionists had this crazy xylophone part which was awesome!
Anyway, here is a photo of our two sections together (We couldn't find our Sec ones D:)
Side note: Their section is massive!! Not exactly in terms of height, but then again one of the percussionists from Maris Stella had to push our snare drum to drumset height and play while sitting on a chair because our snare drum was too short for him
Here is the card for the section exchange that they gave us! You can really tell how much effort was put into it, right? ::::)
Our updated section board :)
Okay, that's all for now! Bye!
