Exchange Programme
Is today a horrible day for everyone?I doubt so. Everyone by now should have realise how far their standards in playing music. I feel that its a good thing instead of a bad. Yes, exchange programme at Chung Cheng High(Yishun). Firstly we all had individual bands combined. As soon as we did our warm-up as a whole band there, Bedok Town joined us, followed by Ahmed Ibrahim for Overture No.1. Can u imagine that? 3 Bands actually combined together and played Overture No.1 under the baton of the same conductor. Well it wasn't that bad, though it is. Soon, the 6 different bands come together and every band gotten a chance to play their set piece and choice piece for everyone. How we did? Set piece was alright, Choice piece was horrible. There is a high possibility tat we would change our choice piece despite most of the band members disagree to it. Hope the new choice piece would be something interesting and fun. After that, had sectionals. Lunch break and then......... All the hornists, trombonists and woodlands' band's saxophonist come together for combine music under Mr Ong. Imagine it. this 2 sections from the 6 bands come together and play as one. Had a last time of playing the set piece and choice piece at the stage before we leave. This time we actually sounds better, but still bad. Perhaps the members were scared tat Mr Poh would change to the choice piece, or it might be that they have learnt something from other bands. That's why we all sounds better. I guess so? Hmm...for me i actually heard some good sound quality of french horns from other schools. For the set piece, i dn really enjoy the way tat how the other bands played. I know that im not in this position to comment on it. But still.... Okay...some of the bands tat played the set piece without any emotions. The others is because either some parts too loud or else too soft. Their sound level seems to remain the same all the way. I felt tat there was a particular band which i forgot their name plays very well at part F. The saxophone soli. The way they express their feelings weren't the same like how the others did. Can't really describe it. This particular band actually plays quite well. There might be some of the people dn like the way they play. Anyway their horns and were awesome too for part G. Their feelings were able to be felt. Their bar 49 to part F was very unique. Hmm...overall i feel that this exchange programme was a good experience for everyone. Hope everyone in band seriously learn something from it and able to use it in preparation for indoor. The only bad thing for me is that in this exchange programme, i was not able to communicate with other schools. TskTsk... |
