Had been busy with band and... homework(?). Okay, the latter is obviously a lie. Hahas. Had not been doing homework lately... Excuse is no time. But today, I miraculously finished my SS worksheet (which is supposed to be our March holiday homework), and Bio ws (this is given out today). No, no sense of accomplishment/achievement. A sense of time wasted though. =/

Today marks the 4th day of SYF central judging for band. Our school's dance troop and drama club had gone for their SYF. Band's the next. Dance and Drama had both gotten bronze. Will we be the third to come back with a bronze? Or the first to come back with a silver or hopefully a gold?

I don't know why. I quite certain I will be nervous on the stage of Singapore Conference Hall. Even during our sound check day. The feeling of sitting on that particular stage, just makes you feel so... NERVOUS! To make things worse, during SYF, there will be judges. Not just 1 or 2, but 7!!! All 7 judges scattered around the centre part of Singapore Conference Hall, listening to us attentively, trying to pick up our mistakes or strength. I do hope it's the second one. Yes, Mr Tan says the audience's seat will be so dark that you can see nothing. But you do know that there are judges! *Deep breathe* Let's hope that I will stay calm on the 12th of April at 9.15am. Otherwise, all my mistakes would find their way back to me.

Seeing the attendance of band practices and sectionals is disappointing. Good job to those who make an effort to come. Sec 1s, the junior band, knows that they are supposed to come for sectionals. Why aren't they here? Nevermind about the sec 1s. The seniors, you guys are going for SYF in the next 5 days. FIVE!!! Don't you absentees think we have to grab hold of all our time and make use of them wisely? Please do make an effort to come for band practices. Those that comes for band practices may have make sacrifications. Don't let them down.

I'm afraid. As Mr Tan said, "If everything goes smoothly, you all should have no problem getting a silver, given you play Ride". What if, what if we screw it up on the competition day? What if we get bronze? I really don't want to disappoint Mr Tan, disappoint Sweeling, Nicholas, other ex-members, disappoint the band. Let's work towards a gold, if not, a silver. (:

There's so much more to work on, but there's so little time! 5 days! You can even count the number of days with you fingers! There's just too much things to work on...

I guess I have to chill. If this goes on, I will be freaking every Huayi Bandsmen who reads my blog out. Gambate HuaYiConcertBand! :D
