Multi-Band Exchange at Coral & Movie (I am Legend)Coral Concert Band had a Multi-Band Exchange yesterday with five other School Bands. The schools are Chung Cheng, Hong Kah, Hua Yi, Mayflower & Westwood Secondary. Yup...I was surprised to hear that Coral was the host school. Hehe. Anyway, many of the seniors decided to visit and watch & listen to the programmes. I was actually the first senior or alumni to reach the school, thinking that the others had reached the school first. And being the first of them had led Mr Wong to choose me to help out with something. I had to write the school's names, the instruments & the songs they're gonna play on sheets of paper for the judges to give critics on their playing. I had to repeatedly write everything three times as there were three judges. And God, it was difficult 'cause first, we ran out of paper; second, the order of the ensembles/duet/trio/quartet/quintet were not in proper order; third, I was sweating & panicking writing the names & stuffs. But it was worth being watched by everyone in the Hall. They kept looking or staring at me as I was sitting in the middle of the Hall behind the Judges, and I was wearing like a Punk/Emo Kid, so I guess they're puzzled to see a Punk/Emo doing stuffs in the middle of the Hall.
Finally, after finished writing & arranging the stuffs, I enjoyed listening to the remaining Ensembles, mostly the Percussion. Coral was Fun. Hehe. But I couldn't really hear the Timpani and the Melody was quite softer. After the Ensembles, it was Lunch Time. The schools went to eat packed food at the canteen while the Alumni went to White Sands. We thought of eating there but instead, we didn't do anything like that. We talked bout Life and all, and some of us went Emo. Ouh, we bought flowers for Mr Wong. Jia Xuan, Syazwana & I bought KFC food and we ate under my block, in which one of them called it Zul's Void Deck.
We came back to school for the Main Band Performances from every Band. To me, the best performance was from Hua Yi & Mayflower Combined Band Performance. They played Postcard super fast...and they were together. The Canons were perfect even when it's fast. All the Clarinettees weren't faking their finguring. Very nice...and loud (due to having 80 something Band members). One of Westwood's Percussionists was incredibly expressive throughout the performance. He created a face crashing the Cymbals and playing the Drum Set. And we found out his name is Indra. Hehe
After the whole Exchange Programme, the Alumni had nothing better to do than to take photos at the School Carpark, behind the Canteen. Hehe. There were very nice photos. One two of them we had it with Mr Wong. We did so many poses and all of us really did have fun. Some people Shiok Sendiri. Haha
That evening, my family and I went to watch I am Legend at TM's Golden Village. It was a very nice movie. I give 4.0 out of 5.0. It's a very touching movie and I did almost cried at some scenes. I really pity Samantha. But the ending was like "Huh?" kind of feeling, but it did explain why the title is called I am Legend. It also shows how one would react knowing he's alone in the world. And there were funny scenes here & there.
