Today i have alot of things to say!

I discovered so many things during the band practice today. First, my mentor, Clarence led his school band in the SYF competition and achieve a Gold award with honour. Oh My GOD!! Thats is soooo good. I really want to imagine how he felt at the time when he heard the results. I think that was heaven. And he handled the band himself!! Thats a million times better than some bands who gotten outside tutors to help. He said he chose a ochestra piece for the choice piece. OMG thats double OMG. No doubt, his musicality is superb. He is really my idol. That kind of achievement will definitely be a kind of feeling that no one can ever imagine. Mind you, this is only his second SYF with that band.

Next, just in case someone is interested, Zhong Hua Secondary School band got a Gold for the competition under the baton of Mr Anthony Chew.

Next, WASBE concerts. I just received an order form for student concession tickets. My westwind president asked me to past to NTU band, but then i'm not in contact with them. Sigh. I want to watch so many concerts but the tickets are too expensive for normal tickets. The student tickets can only be ordered through educational institutions. If i wait for the SISTIC sales date for student tickets, I'm sure all tickets will be sold out. Darn. Any kind friend can get me extra tickets at student rate? Hmm so sad. Tokyo kosei will be the hottest one. BTW below are the bands that are coming in july.
