Reflection....

Well, let accept the fact that we ain't good for the performance today. Let's not think about losing face or whatever. For what i think today is not about how bad or how good we play. It's about building up our confident. Getting used to a different environment.
We were shy and nervous. And dun dare to play coz we some how lose our concentration ( i guess). When come to a different environment, the feeling change, harder to breath, heart beat faster, breath deeper, lips dried, feel so tense, hands and legs shaked, scared of playing wrong note.....blah blah blah.
Alright this is like first time standing on the stage in front of the school and try to talk about some topic. The feeling is the same. We are not used to it...... Not at all...... We need more practice on this as well. Beside music and technique, this is another major thing that we have to overcome it. Well this is to say we need to go for more exchanges???? I dun know.
After listening to the CD....yes it was sucky... but i can spot a lot of mistake that i made. Comparing with other band playing the same piece ( overture no.1). Well it can help me a lot to know my weaknesses and of course know where to work on it and improve further.

Ok, band members. Do not blame each other or yourself. We must have a positive attitude. Learn from our mistake and improve ourselves further. The time is very disadvantage for us. If you want to achieve something great and have a good feeling about it later on. work hard now. You can do it. We can do it. I can do it. For this last 3 weeks. WE MUST REALLY FOCUS. No time to play around already. We also must have perseverance. Remember do not give up and say " i cannot play". Keep practising and FOCUS and CONCENTRATE when Mr Tay teaching. How well you play or how soon you can achieve it, it's depend on how much you focus and concentrate.

Please have a good rest over the weekend and think about what happend today. Don't forget to do the reflection on the chat box.
Reflect on Technique, Music, and yourself. state how you can improve on it.

CCMB..........................ROCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!
