GOLD WITH HONOURS

I am really really happy. I screamed my lungs out when I heard the results

It is really amazing how the persis nearly teared me but now brought to a bigger success. How ironic. I hate it yet we got GOLD for it.

On Saturday was the band competition. Everyone was really nervous and I got many letters of encouragement from my band members. We practiced a little and was time to go to the Singapore Conference Hall for our competition at 12.

In the bus, I heard that our results were on NTRIX. I was stumped and could not wait to know of my results. Chloe had a phone and wanted to check hers but everyone decided not to check for the risk of affecting our emotions for the competition ahead. We cheered CSB and arrived.

We arrived and waited quite fast the although it seemed long. I started to relieve my memories about the SYF rehearsal I had last year and we started humming MERRY WIDOW. But we were brought back to reality, so we told ourselves we must hum PERSIS instead. Ya, we did.
We saw many other bands there too. HC, ST N, TKG just to name a few.
We were performing for the 2nd division.

Then, I realised that MR O was the chairman of this NBC!

We went to the test room for warming up. Then it was time.

We walked onto the stage with a few hundreds eyes from other schools staring at us + the judges. The stand in front of us was tall and huge and we hard to share stand too. I must stretch my head like a giraffe a little to see her.

When triple S raised her hand, I was too stumped and did not start very well. I sounded like super airy and Alicia and I had to try alternatively play our parts perfectly. It was difficult as my lips was getting strained after every note I played.

During persis, it started off quite well. At the bar 98 which have a lot of high notes, I could not really reach it. Alicia helped me but I thought she was angry with me for not being able to reach it. I really did force like crazy.

It ended quite well but the whole song was rather rushing. Everyone, was upset and disappointed, thinking that it confirm would be silver again. It was not our best as the mistakes were avoidable. Our mood were so down.

We sat at the audience there and waited for the results. I heard from Si min that her friend from St. N said that it was nice. There was a slight hope of getting GOLD.

Everyone was shocked to the core, A BAND GOLD WITH HONOURS FOR CEDAR! Our generation managed to keep up to the band standards!

This is one stepping stone for cedar Looks like either persis or double eagle saved us all!

We were at all SMILES.

Everyone remembered Si min saying that of we get GOLD we will go JAck place and eat. If we get GOLD WITH HONOURS, alicia would treat us.

Alicia was so shocked as we didnt expect to get GOLD WITH HONOURS.It was just a mere comment. HAHAs anyway, it was so expensive, and alicia would have not enough money to treat 9 of us.

It was a relieving moment for all of us. We did as well in 2nd division! Last and previous year was in 3rd division. WOOHOO.

Our senior said that our double eagle was the best. IS it true, with the mistakes I have caused? Maybe it was covered up by the others.

Although, it was not our best, but it sure motivates us to reach for bigger success. What if we did our best? Lets reserve it for the next SYF.

There will still be band practice on Mon. No break.

BYE=)

So ironic of how band can affect my emotions.
