I went back to guitar practice today, as the 100% illegal student (I wasn’t even in school uniform) and Mr. KT stared when I walked past him. He had the most puzzled expression on his face, to whether I was a student or a random parent/relative of a Year One student. It must have had him stumped, why I was carrying a violin case and a gigantic laptop bag in school, in home clothes. But anyway, point is that I went back to see the juniors. Or at least what was left of them. There were less than twenty people around. That’s less than a third of our ensemble. And CCAO is when? Friday? =.= I really shouldn’t be bothering about such stuff anymore. Afterall, I’ve graduated and passed the baton on. It’s up to YY to care now. There are just some things that you have to let go of. Transcribed a score for them and packed up and left for lunch with the parents.
Violin afterwards then I headed to Clarke Quay to jam.
Amanda’s back from Malaysia! (Gee, how time flies) And so the band is back in full force now.
We worked out all our songs, picked out the ones we were okay at and tried to work a bit more on the others. Biggest revelation of the day was that Fairy is totally suited for Avril Lavigne. Means we’ll play more of her covers, and that she should write more bimbo songs. It’s been such a long time since we last jammed. A month at least? Through playing the gazillion songs in our set, I’ve come to realize that we actually do have some style, to call our own. Which is good, definitely (even though our playing really isn’t up to standard.) because we’re recognizable. We are going somewhere, we are. I’m kind of torn between getting hyped up for the gig and dreading it because it’s our first time playing such a long set, and there will be a big big crowd (or at least I hope), but we have like, 3 days to perfect all our songs, and we’ve only finished like half. And we’re not even confident (but we’ll be funny, this I promise) that we’ll pull it off decently.
Right I should stop worrying and start practicing.
