___band festival!
Bandfusion was not a bad experience. I'm glad I had the chance to meet people from different JCs. I really think other JCs have much more spontaneous and nice people. And the guys TALK! haha.
Maybe it's just a pity that I didn't get to hone my skills over these few days. Not much of a chance to shine. But it's alright. I think I have to learn to accept what I'm given and be contented. Argh I kept getting criticised over and over again about my technique of playing cymbals. I've decided I don't want to play those two pieces of metal anymore! hahas. They give me the most trouble, but perhaps that's why when I play well, it brings me a lot of fulfillment.
I think our section took some time to warm up though. I was really not used to being so quiet during band practice! I didn't lie about feeling suppressed. hahas. I wanted to be my usual loud and crazy self, but I found it so hard to. I missed my section! And I really learnt how to treausure the chemistry NJ percussion has. We just click totally as a united section even without emphasising on it. It's when I'm with these people that I feel that I'm being truly myself.
But everything turned out fine in the end. (: I made friends, played my part and didn't screw up majorly. I'm just damn tired and rather sick now but I'm still surviving. Week after week of band practice is so tiring! And tip-toeing while playing the chimes makes it doubly so. haha.
