We 1stly warmed up as usual... Played scales.....
Then after that we went thru the two pieces....
The 1st time round, the percs played Singapore Rhap like funeral...
As in the starting lah... Budden we played another time....
And dis time it was rawking... Hahakz....
After playing and all.... Mrs Chua gave us a speech.....
She really brought confidence to us......
She was more than just a conductor......
She was like the mother of our band.....
Without her guidance, determination, perserverance.....
And not to mention, the believe in our band.....

Then all d seniors all have their sorta short speech la....
Started with Sharrifah... She was the one hu's wif all d confidence...
Den Edelia spoke...... After dat came to serene......
She said these few words and caused me to cry too.....
"This may be the last time I'll have d chance to address the band...."

Grrrr... But we played quite well in d tuning room ar.. Lurve d acoustics...
After running thru 1 and a half piece of song....
We were out of d tuning room and out......
It was the interval and we had to wait ar....
While waiting.. My heart was like beating so fast!!!!
I had butterflies in my stomach manz.. Hahakz...
Sheesh...

And at long last..... The time came... We were told to go in....
I walked slowly.... Carrying that tuba of mine across d stage....
My breathe was getting harder, but I tried to control it.....
Since it was d start of d new half, we had to sit there like so long...
Then the judges slowly walk in.. The announcer say wat all.....
Only then dey intro d band....
And Mrs Chua came up.......

Damn she looked great.. Hahakz.....
