BAND CAMP!!
Yo ppl! i just came back from Band camp yesterday... perhaps it wasn't really tt fabulous.. but i still get to know some ppl better... like seetha(present BM).
if u have read my previous post.. i was seriously having a hard time deciding whether i shld go for the camp.. but after asking my friends... esp sharon.. i'd decided to go.. And i was really a last minute thing.. I haven't pack my camp stuff. ANd i was on the phone with viv. lol. So viv, u must be hearing loads of rubbish from me asking whether i shld go for the camp right? lol. By the time i reached the sch, it was alrdy 1p.m.. everyone was alrdy in the band rm getting ready for the band prac. I headed towards the canteen to look for seniors... surprisingly yunshan, elaine, taufiq, shu ying was there. hmm... lol.. but they went home at around 6p.m because they need to prepare for their exams. GOOD LUCK PPL!
The first day was really bored for me. Because by the time i was there.. their schedule was filledd with band prac.. all the way till 5. ANd marching from 5 to 6. god! poor ppl! But they are mainly having SECTIONALS! WHich was practically a rest time for them la... *faint* I took out my sax to play with them too.. did my sectionals too.. hahax. love some of the songs... Hornpipe Song, simple song and some other was kinda nice.. some very soothing part.. hahax.
They had their night scare at night. And everyone dressed up like a VAMPIRE! having fake vampire teeth in their mouth. BUT they look kinda CUTE!! lol. At times.. i screamed!! Oops!! i bet shou jun and zak must be so..... lol.. so tt's their first night. But something undexpected happened.. the guys have to slp along the corridor instead of the band rm. there was some commotion. But later it was kinda solved. But i guess everyone didn't have a gd night slp. For me.. i didn't slp at all.
Because me,sj,cher young and zak didn't inform the teacher tt we're going to e camp.. so our dinner wasn't catered. We have no choice but to walk to the mac to have our dinner. Before tt.. we have to run an errand by going to the NTUC to get 40 cans of drinks for the band members. By the time we carry the drinks back to the sch, it was alrdy 8.30p.m.. ANd off we go for our dinner. My stomach was really empty! Cher young.. thankx for the fries! you're great! hahax!
2nd Day
At around 5.30a.m, practically everyone was up. But i wasn't. i just lay flat on the floor! lol.. too tired. And for the rest of the day.. i was really tired! So was everyone.. After breakfast, they have their treasure hunt outside sch. Due to the lack of coordinator, I helped Stanley to carry out his duty at the hawker. My job was to wait and hide the clues. lol. By lunch time.. i wa supposed to be out of sch joining viv and gang for a movie.. in the end.. i couldn't make it. VIV!! SINCERE APOLOGIES!!(although i'd said it so many time alrdy) I sat outside the band rm.. looking at them play during their sectionals. By phone batt was drained out.. i think i sms too much. In the end.. i went home to catch some slp while i charged my hp. LOL. When i'm back looking kinda energetic.. it was BBQ time! cool! eh.. not really.. i didn't eat much. I went hungry till the next morning... argh.. After BBQ was movie... they chose scary movie 4.. but after much discussion with the committees.. we had decided to put it off. Intially it was Swing Girls tt they're supposed to watch, but htey couldn't find the disc. Sad. SO shou jun and I took a cab to TBP to load a disc(Waterboys). On our way back.. we couldn't get any cabs.. ANd by chance when i turned around.. i saw bus 145! heng ar!! our lucky bus!! hahax. ANd i get to watch S'pore Idol on the mobile tv. hahax. I guess the band really like the show.. it was funny. ANd it talks abt TEAMWORK!! So i guess it was an appropriate one. And agn, the few of us sat outside the band rm.. playing card games and we chatted till 3 plus.. This time round.. we managed to catch some slp! FINALLY!!
3rd Day
The last day was kind short. The morning exercise was cancelled due to the rain! Yay!! everyone was so happy abt it! lol. They have their area cleaning of the band rm before breakfast. They sort out their own pigeon holes. look kinda neat now! The breakfast was nice. Fried rice with hotdog and nuggets! yummy! But i wasn't full after eating it.. i guess tt breakfast was meant for the 2nd night supper! lol. So they have this mini concert whereby the senior are to play to the juniors and vice versa. The seniors chose Shrek Dance Party. And history repeats itself agn. THE SOLO PART ON BAR 5!! *FAINT* So the 1st alto was struggling.. and i helped them with it. I guess it's easier to say than to play. EXPERIENCE! LOL. I was really impressed by the trumpet juniors. They're very steady! Clap!
So the band camp was finally dismissed after some evaluation by the teacher and not forgetting the BM,DM and coordinators. I think they have a hard time. But they still deserve some patting on their shoulders! Great Effort! =)
