9:32 PM


oh yes. today is melizo.
and it seems like quite a few of our band peeps have gone to watch the choir.
that's not the main point. >.<
anyway, 2 weeks later, it will be our turn on that stage during this time.
just 2 weeks later not 2 months.
and as shihui has said, 4/5 more band pracs to sight read first love and trombone concerto and work on all pieces as a band.

and we have 14 days to work ourselves. minus off the number of hours you sleep, travel to school, study, band practices etc.
i would estimate an average of 3 hours to practise everyday.
and those who dont bring home instruments, mouthpieces, sticks etc to prac, minus off sat and sun.
so basically, you have about 3 x 5 = 15 hours to practise everything.
fast isnt it? because you have 5 school days, 1 band prac and 1 sectionals taking up 2 days in a week.

so do treasure the time you have to practise.
14 days will just fly past very quickly.
and you will feel as if you had not had enough time to practise.

by the way, here's the arranged repertoire if you still didnt know.
this shows that you havent been going back to the band room then.

1) star wars
2) march: the lion's gate
3) trombone concerto
4) west side story
5) prince of egypt
6) ensemble
7) ensemble
-intermission-
8) alumni: cloudburst
9) alumni: japanese graffiti 4
10) alumni: shan hu hai
11) noah's ark
12) first love (graduation piece)
13) music of disneyland

do make sure you have the stamina to play everything in the right order.
jiayou for xinfony VIII!
we will make this concert a success! xD
all the best! ((:
