MSSMB @ Montfort's Heritage Quest

Kamal, tough guy sia


Went to school at 8.45am, and some people were already there. Jeremy Leong was outside the band room lying down, and phone charging next to him, look like camping lor. Opened up the band room and went inside to practice. Asked the clarinet junior, Fu Yuan to buy roti prata for me and he really did, so respectful man. xD

Spent the rest of the time greasing my slides, oiling and polishing my horn. The band fall-ed in at 10.45am and went in the band room for warm up. Was supposed to run through the pieces with the band but Daniel came in to conduct us.

After a quick stock check and briefing, we boarded the bus. Got down at Kovan Hub and did some warming up on our own. Then the time finally came to go in. Left our cases backstage and went to the front. I knew the stage was small, but was still quite fascinated. After putting the percussion instruments and straights (trombones and trumpets), theres hardly any space left, so we had to sit in front of the stage. The area is like damn small lah, so we have to cramp within a approximately 2.5x4m space.

The performance went better than I had expected. I had thought that the shoppers would be walking around and talking loudly, like in all malls. But they actually stood around quietly to listen to us, so the atmosphere wasn't too bad. Quite a lot of mistakes here and there, but it was acceptable. The endings could have left a bigger impact though.

Kept our instruments and went outside KFC there for lunch. McChicken burger and a cup of sprite from Yoshinoya, haha. Gathered again at 2.50pm and set up our instruments again for the second performance. This time Alif warmed up the band with a Concert Bb Major scale. Today like everyone stealing my job lah, -__-.

The second performance wasn't as good. Had to play from memory since my stand was missing. But Mr. Tan and Mr. Leow said it was good anyway. Got everything up to the bus and went back to school.

Thanks to all those people who came down to support the band today.

Don't be sad lah Ivan. I understand your pain, since Alif also kicked my horn, LOL. Your saxophone can and will be repaired... sooner or later.
