1st National Band Competition

today, at abt 5.30pm, is our competition..the day finally arrived. we had some final rehearsals in the AVA room...then..trying to relax ourselves as much as possible. this time...i guess we don't have a very high expectation for ourselves...we just try our best...

reaching VCH...outside VCH...our band took some photos... i saw mus'art wind orchestra...saw my cousin...went to say 'hello'....

time is drawing near...it's our time to go to the tuning room... i guess alot of us were nervous...cause we took quite some time to tune...can we really make it??

inside VCH..waiting for our turn to be on stage...while cheering each other up...

mr toh:" you guys have perform so many times...all of u shld not be as nervous like last time...just take this as a performance..try ur best and enjoy urself "....( i susposed he said this..of coz is not word for word..roughly there... :)

we played finish..everyone was like beaming with hope...feelings of hope of getting a gold also start to rouse... outside the concert hall...we were like in a big sale... everyone( including other schools) were trying to get their hands on the NBC souvenirs...haha..ferran is gd at snatching...while i was waiting at the cashier there...he came back quickly with 2 shirts, posters and booklets...LOL....

went back to the concert hall...waiting for the results..tensions started to build up in us...as the few schools before us were getting silver awards...its our turn next...ms lim, the commentor for the competition..paused for a while..looked at mr toh...paused again...and announced:' Chung Cheng High School Symphonic Band...84.5%...GOLD!!!'

'' WHOOOO!!!! WHEEE!! YEAH!!!'' shouts like this came from us...some punching into the air for triumph...( ferran tan doing tt..lolx..)

a remarkable break for us...a break in the 'curse'...

tt evening....we spent time in taking photos...congratulating each other... couldn't have felt much happier...we finally made it!!

it's a sad case tt mr toh wouldnt have time to celebrate the joy with us tt night...he had meetings to do abt NBC...

YES!!! we are gg to gain back our fame in school!! yet..mr toh sae we have to be humble...haha... everyone's msn nick is gg to include a "gold" ..lolz..
