I'm writing my sch journal as imblogging.
SYF's over, i and jared went for band practice the first time. We were new, ppl look at us. A broing day. Sure, we were privileged being new members of the school band, being able to stand anyhow we want, sms, talk, but of course i avioded doing stupid things that would make people hate us for our privlege.
How wonderful, most ppl wld think, if u could go for cca but just sit there and watch while evryone else have to follow instructions. Well, try sitting down, sometimes standing up and enduring a few hours of band practice without doing anything but breathing, standing, whispering and watching.
We didnt have to fall in, but then later "paid the price" of listening to music we didn't like. Warm-ups. If there's anything anything in life i hate, they are warm-ups. Stuff that are useful but just annoying. The juniors were the main ones doing the warm ups, which made stuff even worse. And for some one used to rock, the sound of the guitar and songs with a high tempo, the slow tempo, repeated playing and boredom of the warm up music and the lack of skill from the juniors (sec 1, some sec 2) contributed to sleepiness and ear pain.
A short break was introduced close to 3pm for sectionals, Finally! Some freedom and a dose of fresh air. Turns out air con air in a room filled with nearly 40 ppl can smoke u out and make u realise the outside air is fresher. Roland was assigned to teach me and Jared about snare drumming.
Roland taught Jared first, and made Jared look lousy. Jared has a lack of proficientcy on the snare, that's why. I got paired up with a chio sec 2 girl and she taught me some simple stuff. Like triplets that went "loud-soft-soft". As if looking like and playing like a complete noob wasnt enoguh, Jared asked me to shut up when i tried to play. And a girl can play so well! Damn. At that point of time i wished i was rocking out with my instrument, the bass guitar, and now i still feel the same. Rocking out with an instrument u are familar with beats an unfamilar one.
I and Farid went for a double school break during the boring PTR. Broke out sch, that is. Fun as hell. Would like to try again.
