true enough, FIVE years have passed through so fast, without me realising it. for band, i've laughed and cried so much. i've sacrificed so many things and my time. and now, when it's time to put an end, i feel i am not ready. for five years i have been reserving at least two days a week before/after/during school for band practices. and now i'll be breaking that weekly routine. ): hmmm. i'll need some time to get used to it.
i remembered very well that the first time i performed, it was on 2006 Sports Day. i was a snare drummer back then. (: i was so scared of the crowd, but well, our performances were great. :D and then for concert functions, the bells was practically mine. for every single concert function in that year i'll be playing bells. ^^ and then more performances came in, band concert, band competition, jubilee concert, and all. too many to name. for every function i performed, i feel proud and happy and grateful. ^^ all filled with memories. (:
and today was i my ever so last performance [Pn Hong - principal of SMK Assunta's retirement]. i always thought i'll never play the drumset for real in my life (as in performance wise, not Wii wise.. xD), but today i sat on the drumset chair and my hands went flying everywhere hitting on the drum skins. i don't know how good or horrible it was, but it was satisfying enough for me. (: i am very proud to say that i've played every single marching instruments, be it snare, bass, cymbals, toms or bells. :D yay. and and and, 99% of concert instruments too. :D there's some percussion-two instruments that i've not played on any event before. xD as for other instruments, hahahahaha.. :D :D :D i feel happy. as if i've completed my course/syllabus. (: i can leave with no regrets. (except that we practiced Pirates of the Caribbean, but i've not performed with that song for even once.. TT)
it's sad that i know i'll never be holding a pair of sticks, hitting on the drums, crashing the cymbals, tuning the timpani, playing the mallet instruments and rock the bandroom with the percussion-two instruments. ): but i have to say this, i feel proud standing as a form five band member. (:
i love you, band. call me a band freak or whatever, i don't care.
Assunta Military Band forever! :D
