Exclusive Coverage : Band Camp Day 2 & 3
Day 2
My group woke up at 6.30 to bathe. Then we sat around the gallery, waiting for the others to wake up. Then it was 7.45, time for breakfast.
We headed to the D&T lab for breakfast. We had bread with peanut butter and jam, and also some biscuits. The Milo turned out disastrous, so no one drank it.

Back at school
When we arrived back at school at 5.15pm, we went back to our tents, only to find out everything has been flooded because of the rain, bleah. We took out all our things and laid them over the gallery floor to dry.
After that was free time all the way until 7pm. Some sat in the gallery, some went to bathe, some went to the basketball court to play basketball, and the rest went to the D&T lab to help with dinner. Oh, and the Yamaha instruments came before dinner.
At 7+, all of us gathered in the D&T lab for dinner. It also served as a farewell party for the sec 4s. Some alumni also turned up, such as Sean, Daniel, and Gerald.
As a tradition, the graduating sec 4s would select songs from the library and everyone would play. We played -
Persis Overture
A Movement for Rosa
Can't take my Eyes off you (Flute Solo)
Rhapsody for Euphonium
Discovery Fantasy
Everything ended around 12am. Since we couldn't sleep in the tents, we slept in the Gallery. Some slept at the first floor study area.
