Avec l'Expression IV: In Jubilation

26th November was an awesome day. TP Band had its concert. I had a blast and I'm sure the rest of the members did too. It was an amazing yet tiring experience planning this whole thing with my comm members and I think we all did a great job! Well, apart from me missing my cue to go up to give flowers to Mr Tan (oops) and the clearing up of the audi and all the shit, the whole concert went pretty well and I think I have never ever enjoyed a concert as much as I have had for this one.

This concert made me realise why I loved band so much - I absolutely love performing. Whether it is playing an instrument, singing or whatever, what I really love showing people what I like to do. And band, in this case, has provided me with so many opportunities and I thank my mum for asking me to join band lol. Though I reckon I will not continue after Poly :/ I need more time with my guitar!

The night was a truly memorable one as I had the best supporters I could ever have! My CMM friends were mad (in a good way). Mad props to Keith for shouting all the way and for coming on stage to pass me the flowers which was unbearably embarrassing hahaha. Thank you to Stef, Rach, Brenda, Deanna and Jon who were present too! This was the first time that non-band peepz came for any of my band concerts and tbh I was kinda touched hahah cuz I fall asleep in band concerts that I attend but when y'all decided to go for it I was really happy. Truly the best friends I've ever had! Also, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw Brian, Haziq and Jet who came without telling me! Awesomeee guys! :)

Had a great time with the TP Band peepz too, especially my section mates! Glory glory horns! I love how that whichever French horn section I am/was in, we are always one of the most bonded sections. I love how y'all feel obliged to entertain me when I do stupid things. Our A Capella sessions in the piano room will forever be missed! Best instrument in the band, right? :)

To the rest of my band mates who in one way or another have tolerated my nonsense and crazy antics, and who I played ball with, thank you very much. You all have definitely made my life in band most interesting. Heheh.

Thank you our conductor, Mr Tan, for always being there for us. You are just like a dad who we look up to. Your years of experience have definitely enriched us. Your patience was also important to us and thank you for tolerating all our nonsense too.

The last group of people whom I wanna thank is none other than my main committee - Jeyanthi, Ian, Elsie, Sweehan, Mark, Hordin and Kevin! There were many problems in the midst of preparing for the big day but we managed to overcome everything and present a decent concert to everyone who was present! The turnout was not as bad as we expected! Much credit to Sweehan and Hordin who did the most work for this concert!

It was a great night. And I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world - the experience, the performing, the camaraderie, and most importantly, the people. ♥
