feeling:unhappy

Visited CCK winds today. For the first time since I left. A lot has changed. The Band-tee... the admin...many things...

THey have two string basses now.. However, that was not a wise move because they did not even fill up the tuba section.. talk about string basses..

Let's be critical here.. Although throughout hte practice, Mr Wilson Ong was emphasizing time after time on balance, I believe what needed more work is the percussion and the intonation. poor intonation. one or two flutes were totally out of tune to the extent it was almost a semitone's difference. For once, the flute section had more than one guy in it from any level. three of them were guys. the girl was constantly flat..

The string basses, one guy and one girl. THe guy being constantly flat too... THe clarinets, peggie(the drum major) was constantly sharp. Poor intonation. THat's all I can say.

I would have loved to observed the sectional practice too, but I couldn't. I came right smack in the middle of their camps... Well, I guess, I just want to forget all those times.. Those good days. No. I wanna forget them all. I hate memories. Especially seeing all this change. Well, perhaps my prediction for this band might not come true, that it will close down within five or ten years. I must credit Mr Ong for having had put that hard work in, as well as the school pumping in money to spruce up their instrumental collection and library.

Still, I am no longer a CCK winds member. I will cease to be, I will forget.
