Oh yeah so self intro, I'm Joanne from Batch 15 and my favourite instru is the timpani!! ((are the timpanis? ugh grammar)).
Ok so I just got back from Day 2 of Mr Chiang's (not really his alone but w/ his posse)) EXCO/SL ((day)) camp at VJC~
Their band room is pretty small (around the same size as ours?) and their perc area isreally tiny but their timpanis edit: timpani are really fabulous (the same model as the one during SIBF!!) and shiny and new and I just want to take them home. Their gong is really cute though it's like a mini version of ours.
((their bass drum!! is about the same except the frame has an extra bar thingy for you to step on so you can use your leg to mute the drum without looking like a dog that's going to pee))

We've been having like masterclasses on conducting and theory lectures and general leadership talks here and there (fun fact: did you know that Mr Wong studied psychology and is a member of Mensa) and it's been pretty cool but hecka tiring. :-)
They invited really funny and super talented guest speakers! We had one of the SIBF judges yesterday to conduct (haha) a conducting clinic and he was super funny but his sense of humour is so mean???? He kind of reminds me of Mr Chia hm.

PS: Maris Stella's percs (uh at least those that are here at the camp) are very pro so let's be better than them
PPS: I think Bendemeer's (did I spell it right) too
PPPS: I believe that we have the potential to become better than them all. Like quality>quantity ok so even though our section isn't that big we can make it up by being really competent and all rounded percs
Also right I've come to realise that there are quite a few disadvantages behind having a super big section (like 10++) such as having not enough parts or like not enough exposure to each instrument because there's really too many people so I'm really grateful that our section's size is just nice :-)

Our SYF pieces are going to be quite perc heavy so let's jia you x 100000 and defend our title as one of the strongest points ((section? element?? thing???)) of RGSSB woot woot
This turned out to be way longer than I expected haha ごめん :x
