Stroke

The exciting part starts at around 6, when I was on my way to Quest with Nick... the students were there when I reached there... did a rudimentary tuning before quickly getting on the bus and zooming off to SCH...

Waited a while before getting on stage; saw some familiar faces around... and then Mr. Hoe arrived with Jenn, then Dear, then ZX... my first time going on that podium for so long, standing for 30 mins... i sure took hell lot of time to get ready... but lots of mistakes... the percussion were further than usual... and at one corner... have to get their attention and MUST CUE THEM IN in future!!!! Must somehow re-arrange the seating arrangement, must use SMALLER STROKES, must train the players to use MORE AIR!!! Must do proper tuning!!! Must remind Oboist to use more air, to be LESS FLAT!!! must Ask everyone to attend practices le!!! must make sure percussionists know their parts!!! Lots of things to do in a month!!!

After that, we left for makan @ Lau Pa Sat; had a worm in our veggies... eeks... then took bus with Dear and ZX....

Signing off..... Almost had a stroke on stage; thanks Dear, Jenn, ZX and Nick and Mr. Hoe for your comments; will try to make use of each and every one of them.....
