-The Past-
Went for the Principal's farewell today and the first performance was the SP Symphonic Band. Listening to them play and looking at them sitting on the stage brought back memories of my time in band.
In secondary school, you could say that i devoted a huge amount of time to band. It was like if i did not go down to the band room for one day i would feel lost. Then, we were termed bandfreaks. By the time i was in Sec4 my grades were suffering as a result of my "devotion". So came the many pep talks by the class mentor, the band teachers, the other teachers. It seemed as if i was addicted to band practice or something.
But i can say that i truely enjoyed the time i had in band. The adrenaline rush when i played my first solo during one of the concerts. The adrenaline rush of stepping onto the stage for the first time. The adrenaline rush of being the MC for one of the concerts. [Although that kinda didn't go too well]
The things i learnt in band will stay with me for life. I learnt how to be a leader in the band too. That was one invaluable lesson.
Anyway... would anybody want to buy cookies from me for christmas? Or maybe somebody place orders and i will bake them for you for FREE!!! Since its the season for giving. Hurhur.
