Ok the marchpast is over! It was OK I guess. Band members kept dropping stuff throughout the whole thing. Primary kid dropped his cymbal twice, Beatrice dropped her flute thingy, a drummer (not sure who) dropped sticks and I dropped my notes while trying to pick up Beatrice's flute thingy. Haha. But it wasn't that bad I guess.

Oh, and there were 2 small girls who kept marching on the wrong feet. Couldn't really remember their names, so I was calling them 'small Chinese girl' and 'small Indian girl' throughout the marching. Lol

Like last year, we camwhored after the marchpast. Pics are from Sam's blog.

After that, we had a short break then practiced for the NTV7 performance again. We practiced the whole of Thursday, half of yesterday, and there's gonna be a practice later from 4pm-5.30pm. I'm gonna miss half of badminton training. =(

But I guess we really need the practices. We're kinda not ready yet. Haha. Neways, the practices are fun. It's been a really long time since I enjoyed band like I did in the alst few days. =)

And bloody hell, I'm gonna do silly dance moves with the rest of the Saxophones on national TV tomorrow. Silly = horny,pole-dance-like. LOL.

So, here's the list of people taking part:

Percussion: Wei Keat, Andy Goh, Yana
Clarinets: Samantha, Yulia, Jananee
Flute: Beatrice
Alto Saxophone: Hoong Woei, Calvin Chew, Jonathan Joseph
Tenor Saxophone: Me
Euphonium: Victor
Trumpets: Ervin, Deepan, Vishaal, Yong Sheng
Camera person: Siti Aminah

I'm beginning to feel nervous. Lol

There were some revamping in school over the holidays and the start of the week. They planted new grass on both sides of the basketball court.

The side nearer to the carpark is gonna be turned into a futsal court (heck, they even put metal walls around the area) while the side nearer the KH lab is gonna be turned into a long jump pit and.....a beach volleyball court. That's what Mr Jason said la. But I think he meant a normal volleyball court. Haha.

I don't know why in God's name they put the basketball hoops there. Now all you can do is shoot balls. And if you look closer, you will notice that the long jump pit is perfectly blocking the nice places to shoot. -.-

Anyway, they also cleaned all the classrooms, toilets, tables and chairs during the holidays. And in the process, they mixed up all our tables and chairs everywhere. So we got a new set of vandalised chairs.

I'm betting someone like Ruth or Whay Ying did this. Lol

Eh, 5S classmates (*ahem* Sam *ahem*), read that! Lol. It means I can sing if I want to. Haha!

Oh, and we had to put up decorations around the class for Merdeka this time round as well. Miss Tan brought us recycled flags. Lol. So we decided to just put up the flags (we're lazy asses). =)

Above the whiteboard

Around the air-cond. And yes, I do not know why Chay Ann is stripping. LOL

And the big ones went on the ceiling. (Mel's idea)

We Love Malaysia! (Somehow I can imagine Ruei Pern saying this in his straight forward sarcastic way. LOL)

But unfortunately........

The flags fell down by lunch. AHAHAHAHA! Told ya it was a bad idea, Mel. =P

So the guys did revert to the cut-and-paste-random-newspaper-pictures-together decorations. Unfortunately, I haven't got any pictures of them. Haha. I will post it up when I take pics of them. Ruei Pern's Zohan pic was freaking funny, I tell you. Hahaha!

And since Merdeka's coming, band practices have also been up and going. Tomorrow, we're marching in the parade as usual. =)

Mr Andri's worn out drum set

Notes for the parade

Before practice. Lol, Edmund, you're too big to hide behind the drum set la.

The crazy, energetic percussion people. They can go hyper, march and play their drums, do push-ups as punishment for being hyper, and still don't feel tired. You crazy asses. Lol

Formation

And on a semi-related topic, OUR BAND GOT INVITED TO PERFORM LIVE ON SUNDAY MORNING FOR NTV7. When we heard about it, all of us were like: "Lol. You serious??!?!?"

Yea, the NTV7 event coordinator somehow remembered that we did a performance in Mont Kiara 5 years ago and decided to call us again. Totally random, I tell you. LOL. I was in the band during that performance (Std 6 in fact) but didn't take part, because I was off in the school's annual UPSR seminar in Selesa Hills. Haha!

So basically, none of the members taking part this time were in the performance they remembered. =P

Oh, and Mr Andri excitedly told us that they might want to interview me, Ervin and Deepan. Bloody hell! Mr Andri briefed us on the possible questions they can ask and the answers that we're supposed to know. I repeat, SUPPOSED TO. E.g. the age of the school band, the band motto and stuff like that.

Heck, the only question we could answer was:

"What's NTV7's motto?"
"I FEEL GOOD~(inset NTV7 music here)"

Haha!

So if you wish, you can watch us on NTV7 this Sunday somewhere between 9-11am. It's like a multiple performance show.

And we heard there is gonna be a few celebrities performing as well. Like Pop Shuvit, Jaclyn Victor and some other random local artists that I never heard of.

P.S: Ah Meng Koko got admitted to SJMC for appendicitis on Tuesday. The operation's been done and he's OK. =)
