MUSIC
tomorrow's the concert rehearsal already! 3 days left to the actual one. woots. time flies ain't it? a year ago we were just under mr lim, worrying about exchanges and trying to improve our standards gradually. preparing for tetra this year.. and slacking away for previous months. in 3 days we are having our first ever concert! (i guessed i went out of topic..>.<) anyway, i wanted to give you all some morale support. please don't be nervous and let it get into your music. its a high time we get the damn nervousness out of the way =) not that i'm blaming all of you for being nervous..because its perfectly normal and healthy to be nervous. (i feel nervous too, because we are all human) but nervous leads to being scared, losing confidence to play out and eventually leads to losing all that we've practised. i know you all would remember (somehow), but i just wanted to remind and to keep my mind at peace for fear that you all forget. haha..anyway..keep a clear mind always, don't panick, don't talk too much, follow instructions, don't let us resort to screaming at you all and we'll be fine. concentrate on getting your respective job done, and we can high for all you want after the concert, scream yourself hoarse and i'll scream with you. (provided you all do and remember everything thats important) =) remember i've said that the section outing is after our concert? i promise it'll be very fun, and we'll be doing our section tee '07 on that day too. we can go and celebrate the success of addiction! =)
so for now, steer away from too much of computer and television. keep a good balance ya? don't go practicing your instrument for whole day without resting, adequent rest is more important. (although practise is too..) sleep early for these few days (i confirm you all won't grow fat) instead of chionging online games in the middle of the night, or doing i don't know what. a little bit of sacrifice would make a difference for our concert, so that our efforts for the past few months doesn't go down the drain, along with those who have helped us in any other way. soooooo after turning one big roundddddddd....all i wanted to say is jiayou for addiction! don't give up and keep believing you all can do it, when you are nervous, worried, scared or anything.. all you have to do is focus and the music and conductor, don't let your mind stray to the audience where your whole family or friends are looking at you and just give it your best shot. pretend they never existed and treat it like any other normal band practice we have. do your stage drills with more COURAGE..don't need paiseh paiseh (especially to juniors xD) and SING out LOUD ya. i wanna see you all move! and sing! and move! and sing! don't stiff stiff. nothing to be shy about. =) PRACTICE YOUR STAGE DRILLS AND SINGING EVERYDAY..til the concert. when you are eating, bathing, taking a break etc. (it'll make you fitter..and you get to improve your voice..its a win-win situation!) any negative thoughts like scared play wrong note, worried cannot reach the note, go flat or what affects your performance in one way or so. reassure yourself that nothing will go wrong (pray hard hard too..just in case) be optimistic. =))
after nagging so much..good luck for the rehearsal tomorrow! as well as the actual concert. give your 100% to make it the most memorable and special concert to keep in our hearts =D and by the way for the notes that i've promised for the scores..sorry that i didn't type all of it out. but..but..BUT..i'll remind you all constantly. JIAYOU..chiong for ADDICTION =DD
