SIBF is oveeeeeerrrrr!

Woots! I'm back. Did anyone missed me? :D
Finally, IBF is over. So no more band stuffs to worry about..................................... for now.
Phase 2 auditions are a long way to go. Worry about that later. Z_z

Back to IBF, the competition part was *no comments* but I'm sure that everyone did their best. (:
Kudos to NIE! :D
Everyone deserved a pat on the back. Even Prof Ho came down to give his support. Well done everyone! ;D

Then there's the background scenes. Hahah. Shall start update from Thursday morning.
(This is gonna be a damn detailed post)

24 July 2008

Woke up at 6am cause my concerned sister thought I'm going to school. -_- And quite honestly, I didn't feel like waking up at all. Even though competition was hours away, I didn't feel the excitement, unlike SYF last year. Call it nonchalance. ;)
Was supposed to meet Ahmad & Hayati at 8am, but when I was ready to go, they just woke up. ._. Call that nonchalence too. xD
Obviously we weren't that excited about the comp and we went with half-heartedness. :/

Reached NIE band room at 10plus and had our one final practice before take off. Even while getting ready in the band room, the excitement still wasn't there. Yet. :|

Some pics! :)

Cam-whoring during practice. =x

Ahmad and me!

Ahmad, Hayati & Sufian tak boleh senyum. :)

Hayati and Sin Hua. SH trying to be funny. -_-

Jie Xiang! :)

Pro-hornist Nigel!

The true horn section. Got two others but meh~

Sin Hua trying to be funny again. -_-

Ahmad-kun!

Shawn-negawasan!
He's a tubist that can play ~~everything~~ anything.

Sleeping percs. Tsk tsk~

Terry & Hayati!

The destination. Republic Poly.

And those were pics taken before the performance. Had to switch off our phones upon reaching. :(

While we were being held in the waiting room, Mr Kuek gave us a motivating speech. Targetted to horns, tbones and percs because we keep messing up. :P
Then as we were tuning in the tuning room, the whole band was surprised cause we sounded not bad. XD Me & Hayati was like "GOT HOPE!" XD From there, our excitement grew. A bit. xD
Also in tuning room, the horns could pitch all the freaking high notes. :DDD And got praised by the whole band siaaa~~~ We suddenly went high~~ LOL

Our performance on stage was better than the practices in the band room although we did screw up here and there. Got to say we did pretty good for our first comp as a band. :]

After our performance, we stayed in the hall and watch other bands perform, including Republic Poly. Oh yah,to HYCB bandmates, did you know our flute senior Huda joined the band? Saw her there. :)
And FYI, our band was kiap-ed between Raffles Girls and Raffles Instituition. Very good~~~ -_-
But as it turns out, they weren't even the best out of the lot. More on that later.

For now, MORE PICS! :DD

Holding up our passes. Macam tourist.

My whole day pass.

Aaron & Hayati.

JieXiang and Nicholas. Omg, Nick looks so hot here~~~
*drools* xD
(Olga please be jealous. :P)

My $2.50 lunch. Woots~

Ahmad's chicken cutlet.

Sin Hua, Shawn, Ahmad.
Spot my "best friend" who popped into the picture? xD

Two retards~

After lunch, headed back to the hall and watched the Open Division, which was supposedly much better than the Division I bands. As it turns out, they were damn pro lorh~~ -_-
All of the bands were DAMN good. The gap between the 2 division is big.
Both ACJC and ACS (I) took part. There were some overseas bands there too. All were super super pro. As good as they are, it was damn sian sitting in the hall. Stayed there from 5 plus allllllllllll the way till night time. Boring lorr. -_- By the time they announced the results, I was half dead already. And when everyone is taking pictures after the announcement of results, I was sleeping. xD So tired laaa~

Its kinda blur but the judges are actually on stage

Oh yah, if you're wondering, we got 73.14% - Bronze.
If it were SYF, it would've been a Silver. Too bad its not. xD LOL. Satisfied with the results though, considering our screw ups.

Most of the bands got Bronze & Silver. The only band who got Gold in our division was the Philharmonic Youth Winds. Congratz to them. They were really really good and they deserved it. :)

As for the Open Division, I didn't know how the judges came to a decision. All the bands were really good and reputable. But ACS (I) emerged winner as the only Gold achiever~ Gotta say I was pretty surprised cause they managed to outplay all the adult bands and even their JC counterpart. Nevertheless, its been a great night for everyone and IBF was a success. :D

Reached home around 11pm++, nearly midnight. I intend to get some homework done, but was too tired so I slept. :P

Then this morning, I woke up with a completely stiff body. My neck couldn't move at all, so decided not to go to school. :/

AND I REALLY REGRETTED NOT GOING.

Cause the Jap girls came today. Even though they didn't join our class, but they were JAPANESE girls. How often do you get to meet them? ): Heard that some of the boys learnt Nippon-go just to impress them. So lame can~~ -_-

Other than that, I missed 3 tests in my absence and a History movie which they watched during supp. And and and, I missed the part Alfie kissed Jian Hao on the cheek! OMG, so priceless can? Just for the sake of a jellybean. -_- Aaaahhhh~ Totally regret not going. :\

Now, I just finished watching HYD 2 Eps 8. YEYS. I actually thought of watching more dramas and sleeping in tomorrow, until I saw Eleanor's pm ................................
