TIME: 11:28 PM
I must say,WOW,WOW and WOW!!!And no I mean nothing sarcastic by it,RJ really was good,really impressed.They had so many flutes,and almost all the time I hear one flute playing,very little intonation problems.Also,all those running notes woodwinds tend to have?(much like what AJ has been practising for Vesuvius)Gosh!Clean Precise and no faking!Can really hear the first note to the last and all on time or maybe one or two not very on time but covered up by the rest...but really,it was nice to hear.One slightly dissapointing song though,was mononoke,maybe I'm expect too much since I really love that song.The solos were good,very good,but still some flaws which I probably need to sleep on it before I can actually think of how to express it,by this I mean the flaws are really not very significant,but still there all the same.And the overall song...well I think some bits of untogetherness in it.But really RJ is really good.Can't wait for Atempo.
Er...Shall not mention RI and RGS for fear of demoralizing myself further.
So hearing this,can safely say that unless we work our butts off in the coming 2 months,with the emphasis on "2"which probably means no more than 24 if we follow the normal schedule,but closer to SYF(which I really think is now)practice will increase so lets say that in the next 2 months we have 40 band pracs,thats 16more than if we follow the normal timetable and really 40 pracs ain't that much.We have yet to perfect notes and articulation for the entire piece of vesuvius.We still have to work on precision and intonation,both biggies if we truly intend to get a gold,and definitely hard to work on.Aside from that,we have Singapore Rhapsody and some pieces to get ready for the esplanade concert.So really we are and I repeat are running out of time.Despite this,I must admit that I have yet to see the entire AJ band as one stop slacking and start working,myself can be included.
Really wish time would stop so we can do this.
I don't need the gold...but I really want it,if only to shut those F***ers up that are saying AJ band can't make it.
Anyway,recommended concerts to go to:
ACJC concert 30th march(wonder why?First ACJC is better than us and ACS(i) is playing Vesuvius so its worth a listen for 8.40 after subsidy)
RJC concert 11th april(wonder why?RJC is definitely good no?So isn't that a good enough reason?worth it at 6.40 after subsidy)
AJC concert 22nd may(tentative)(wonder why?For all AJ peeps,we're performing...duh.For the rest...well let's see how well we do in SYF first)
