          Band is getting more stressful and sressful. It's like taking over school! There are three performances coming up and the first one is this saturday! I am happy but I am stressed! There are too much things to do! I have to sort out the files, figure out the pieces, clean the instruments and practice the songs!
          I am really really excited but yet nervous... I am not a confident person but I force myself... I'll force myself to be really confident that I will play nonsense! Maybe it is not because I am overconfident, maybe it's because I am too nervous... 
I've made loads and loads of mistakes in band and some of them are.....
1>(2003) I dropped a crash cymbal!!! It made a very loud clang on the floor and guess what?! It happened when the whole band was playing!!! It happened in the middle of a happening song!!! My conductor was not happy at all
Reason/Excuse=> I was a junior. It was my first year... Everyone makes mistakes It was also partly because I was playing two instruments and had to switch immediately after I play the other....
 
2>(2004) I played the base drum wrongly during a parade rehearsal. I think the whole world heard me! It was so embarrassing!!! I was supposed to give a double beat but I stopped halfway thinking I was correct! I knew everyone was dissappointed esp. my percussion senior. I was dissappointed too! It was supposed to be grand but it turned out STUPID!
What happened next=> They restarted the parade because of the rain and I did my best. I think it was much better because there wasn't any stupid mistakes....

3>(2004) I played the crash cymbal on the wrong beat. I was so confident when I played that I felt like slapping myself! I was counting nervously and the same thing happens when I play nervously.... MISTAKES! My conductor probably hates me... I don't think he trusts me in playing properly for the upcoming performance this saturday. Not to blame him but I just feel so... I donno if u understand me but nvm lahz...
Reasons/Excuse=> My juniors were around and I was nervous and wanted to set a good example but I sucked!.... Give it up dyna!

Best Moments in Band...

• I played a solo for the song Let's Get Loud by J.lo... It was quite short but still fun and nice and cool...!!! I didn't make mistakes, that's the main reason why it is one of my best moments...
• I played the drumset for this nice song... But I know I couldn't have done it as well if my senior was not there.. He was guiding me throughout the whole song... Thank you so much....!!!!
