hot autumn night is over !!
i think i should probably stop getting all excited about these kind of things cos i just end up feeling disappointed . lol . yeeap . but don't get me wrong, it was pretty alrite on the whole .
concert band had a shakey start and i must say that it wasn't the best performance that we could give ... it also didn't really help that we couldn't hear each other properly . o yes, and tuning our instruments properly would've helped too ! hmm . sometimes i just wish ms. oram would tune us properly ... it just really irritates me when she says, "you know what to do." - cos we usually don't .
swing band was better than concert band (sorry guys, but that's what i thought) ... hehe . yeah . the solos went o k . played most of them alrite ... i think . but it was really windy and our stupid dodgy stands kept shaking ... at least we had pegs to hold our music down .
the cbc jazz band is actually pretty good i reckon . they've even recorded cds and stuff . wow . hehe . but they played 'chameleon' ... a song that we TRIED to play. they did a really good job on it though, cos i at least they knew how to play it . and their trumpet players are pretty darn good too !
then came us - WHAA HAPPEN . ahahah . i really wonder when we're all going to get over that ... anyway, yes . that is our band name ... and i s'ppose the point of a band name is that the ppl in the band get the joke and stuff . so yeah . can't actually remember how the name came about ... i think mr k just started saying that . apparently it's some sort of joke with his brother too . so yeah . lol . quite a long story (which i am actually not quite sure of). our performance went quite well ... except the bit that i stuffed up . *doh* felt so dumb after that ... but yeah . just pretended that i didn't do what i did . other than that, it was good . tina took quite a few pictures of us performing .
the last band to go on was 'peace love and all that stuff' . err, they were alrite i guess ... nothing fantastic . didn't really like the stuff that they played ... i think the band that played at our ball was much much better . but o well, that's just me . we danced a bit in the beginning, then after a while the music just became un-dancable . so we just sat around ... talked , took MORE pictures (like that one of the moon that came out looking like a spot) and ate ice cream . o yes, and we also sat around laughing at all the old ppl on the dancefloor . i don't think i've ever seen that many old ppl dancing before ! was quite a terrifying experience actually . esp the part where we got shoved around on the dancefloor by these old blonde ladies who were a little too enthusiastic for my liking .
oo yes, but before all this ... we went to burswood for marsia's bday lunch ! grace and i thought we were slightly late ... but the birthday girl turned out to be the one who came the latest . lol . we all ended up sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for her to call . but we took lots of pictures though ... today was a day for lots and lots of pictures . all kinds . hehe . can't wait to get them from tina . we took soooooooooooo many !
went to the city for a while and then made our way back to tina's place - where we actually did work . well we as in grace and i, tina on the other hand, was on the computer talking to ppl . *tsk* tina, *tsk* .
soooooo anyway, that was my day ! hmm yeah . and apparently philippa found my blog ! i dunno how . strange though . hehe .
