It's a new year... welcome 2007!
Anyway, I had been busy thus my post for the fantastic Band Camp has been delayed... till now!
Last year's Band Camp was really interesting, I felt as though I had to be more initiative and pro-active in order to acheive something there.
Day 1:
I came super early for God knows what reason, so slacked around before I got too bored and decided to fool-trumpet around haha. Then we fell in at 9am, then did drills, had full band, lunch, and I forgot what happened... but there was sectionals at night. Then we had full band again before heading off to watch two clips of two Japanese Bands playing With Heart And Voice. Even though they had an emo conductor, a horny-looking timpani player and a rather, special-looking Euphonium player (from the younger band), they played pretty well, better than us actually, so... we all have to Gambatte (however you spell it) for SYF this year! Then we went off to sleep.
Day 2:
Perhaps the most interesting and the most fun day in the Band Camp! Woke up blah blah, then we went to paint the banners, band, drills, blah blah then at 19 00+, the long awaited SKITS! Haha! It was really interesting to see how the other groups perceive With Heart And Voice as. Like hey it's cool that WHAV can actually be a story about villagers and an alive chicken who's retarded! But anyway, when my group's turn came, it was really, frightening. Cos we had no script, our plot was vague, no directions were given, what we had was a rough idea of the plot, and what we're supposed to do. So we went on stage... and viola! Let the spontaniety in me unleash! Haha, very honored and proud to be MSSBA/F/P's EXCLUSIVE SLUT FLAUTIST! Haha, ya Maris Stella Symphonic Band Angels/Fairies/Pixies, haha yes I know, it is very kawaii. Salsaing throught the skit, with a little jazz and Koda Kumi power there, I managed to well, slut my way through haha and it turned out, our group wasn't so bad after all! Then we proceeded to have games, yeah something like the Amazing Race, find people in stations and answered some theory questions. I remembered a question was thrown at my group, "Which scale has 7 flats?" Man, I knew it was my Db Major which is Concert Cb major... but due to my humbleness that my answer must be wrong, I decided to let someone else guess it... and we got it wrong and like... the answer was CONCERT CB!!! Yeah, curse and fishes. Then we procceeded for a night walk... in the supposedly 'abandoned cemetery'. It was real scary cos like we had to put on blindfolds... like I'd rather see a ghost then to not know where the next step is! Then it was bed time.
Day 3:
This one ended fast, the main point for this day 3 is for POP. Passing Out Parade. Did alot of moving and what have you, but the concert ended up quite well, and with the Alumni Percussion's wonderous rendition of 'Fireworks', or Hanabi as I'd rather call it, defenitely let those parents who think that 'band is useless' eat their words. Anyway, when the awarads were given out, I was kind of disappointed that I didn't get most improved sec2 but, oh well it's not as if I've been good.
And that ends the Band Camp. Hopefully, 2007's will be even better!

And I was listening to 'My Happy Ending' by Avril Lavinge, a few lines there that should be thrown at some people.
You got your dumb friends, I know what they say,
They tell you I'm difficult, but so are they,
But they don't know me, do they even know you?
So, please keep this in mind.
