Jerald left his pencil case in the band room one day. I 8 it up. I've apologized to you already Jerald, MSN me if you wish for me to write an 800 word essay regarding this. Not that I have a ton of free time to spend. Anyway last band prac I left my water bottle in the band room. Today I went in and was astonished to find it still there, not eaten up by Jerald.
Oh, and I finally remembered how to do marquees from looking at earlier posts. Now why didn't I think of that?
Now on to my main point. Lets do some math. This is the 5th (do correct me if I'm wrong) time I'm going out for a LAN trip! Yay this is so exciting! Except that the previous time it was really messed up with people wanting to play CS and all that. I sincerely hope it won't happen this time, and more importantly get to play other sections. LANning in my opinion is for fun, but also for section bonding.
Speaking about bonding, batch pracs are a great way to bring a batch together, through numerous arguments on what song to play, and in our case Investiture planning. Sadly, I find that almost all the time my Jerald isn't beside me laughing his head off (positive connotation). Why? RD work. And I do not question the demand of RD work; I understand that the sec 1s require attention as much as we do.
But this isn't about RD... it's about PSLs. One fine recess I went to the raja block foyer, and guess what? Surprise surprise, Jerald was enlisted. Jerald! Don't become a PSL! Of course it's very selfish of me, but don't forget: it's a LOT of pracs you're going to miss. And when Prometheum is in MAY, every prac counts. Not to mention the countless PSGMs (omg I actually remembered that), which if you remember in our year were held on Wednesdays (omg I actually remembered that), which causes even more conflict with band times. I won't stop you, just do the right thing. Anyway I think I'll fail in my conquest to kick you off from learning German, just like Brian did.
Next is the 6-for-$100 courses held by the carbon monoxide instructor. As pollutive as it was, it was very informative. Quote Jerald, "it was better than TKWO because they spoke Jap meaning that I didn't understand them half the time". Seriously speaking though, we were very fortunate to have a 1-on-2 lesson. Awkward, but it was GREATLY beneficial.
We got to learn the basic strokings, harmonic melodic natural minors (or rather, that was what Jerald learnt: I knew that already), Lonian Dorian Phrygian Lydian Mixolydian (which were the group names for band camp when I was P6), and 4 mallet holding. The instructor was like, reluctant on teaching 4 mallets to us at first, when he said that we both gave each other that "Oh how could he?" stare. Then Jerald requested that later, thanks Jerald.
Can't wait for Timpani course later. Jerald: "At least now we have some teaching materials!" Me: "Should've done note taking."
I guess that's all I have to say. Countdown posts aren't usually so packed with words or informative. And yes I did say I'd touch on emotacular stuff today, but I'm feeling happy as it is a Friday, and will thus leave it to next time. So till then, tchuss!
