attended sectionals on friday. was a nice experience.made up my mind that since i am really free, i would go back when possible to help those year 1s / 2s.they had questions about the pieces they were playing but i couldn't attend to all.its a nice feeling actually, to teach what i am sure of and watch them learn.hmmm, didnt feel weird some how, when i returned.decided to check out the other sections for some reasons.been a while since i heard the band. stopped over at the saxophones.they are a bunch of funny people. think they should be anyway hahaha.cheeky some of them, naughty. they did a near full wood winds combine for a couple of pieces.one was Noah's Ark. and there was that problem for the " parade of the animals "quite some of them do not know the story, much less imagine it. thought a while, then i asked, who watched Ice Age 2? the part where all the animals were moving towards higher ground. there's the big and small, the tall and short, nimble and clumsy.bassoon reminded me of this short, wide bony dinosaur with a tail.everytime it walked its tail would swing left and right.and it was a slow moving one, everyone was just overtaking it.everyone's like the B.clar to me. faster and more nimble.when they started reporting back to the room. as they started to settle in their respective places, something very common happened.that is, in most secondary schools, more often then in other types of bands.primary school, external voluntary bands etc.a few of them got together, at first it was like 2 or 3?than a few more came in one by one. just slotted themselves in like that.i just sat there watching them enjoy. was reminded of sec sch days there and then.sort of like started to day dream. enthusiasm fuels learning. and they are talented players. forgot to bring the cam, wanted to capture something.oh well, next round perhaps.quite some people have asked me that question or something like that.i always reply them, nah not now or just a nope.the next two years might be the deciding factor perhaps.i am still pretty afraid of the stage actually. i am find with victoria already.maybe its because we have performed there lotsa times already.hmmm, another hall would be scary. i remembered sydney.for a brief moment i just freaked out. i think it was at the opera house.just trembled hahaha. oh well. think i need some hard liquer before performance ahhah. i wont drop from half a glass dont worry hahahahah.
