"Quite a long time since the last post,so let me be the one to start with my thoughts on bandfest.Since every1 already knows the programme let's just get on with the thoughts shall we?Anyway,experiencing the bandfest should,I hope for most ppl,give them more confidence in playing and improve on their skills.The very fact that we can just put up a concert with only 4 days of practice and having to do this with ppl most of us hardly knows is tough.The pieces aren't that simple too.So yeah,great job ppl,you've just proven that you can do it.Secondly,this is for egoistic ppl like me:P.Hopefully,you've seen better players during the bandfest and know that you're most definitey NOT the best!But don't worry oh egoistic ppl,just keep practicing,you'll reach there soon...haha...this actually can go to the non-egoistic ppl too,you've seen good players,and they don't get there on pure talent and chance.What you've seen is the fruit that has been born out of a little talent,some luck and A LOT of practice.So don't keep thinking you're no good ppl(if you do),you just keep practicing,ask questions when in doubt and I promise you'll improve super fast(so chim!)Finally(dun wanna drag this on and on,let other ppl say),its the morale(erm dunno how to spell lar).Most of you probably know that recently the band has been a little down,which naturally affects our playing as well.IMO,the last 4 days have helped us.If not in morale then at least in your passion for band(I hope).Especially,tonight,all that cheering(good job:))So let's keep up this thing and not let it drop,we can do this during the trip,and for those not going,when we come back we'll bring that high spirit back to you(might be in the form of presents*hint*).Those going for the trip also learn as much as you can and bring it back.Apply it to your playing!Yeah going off tangent already,so I'll end here.Thanks for listening me drone on and on.I end it now with some advice or crap:Band is a team event,it must be together if it wants to go up,so lets keep our spirits up and get the gold that most of us wants(Personally I don't need the gold,I just need the music:))FINAL WORDS:ONE BAND ONE SOUND!"
here's a complete quote from the ajcsb blog in which this was posted,i typed it btw.
Now I just wish bandfest lasted longer
