i totally loved unisono. it was that moment when i felt all our efforts paid off. the day didnt begin well coz i ran into some complications and got to school rather late. but the events after that were pretty smooth. everything worked more or less with the schedule and there wasnt much delay in the timings. yayyy. the concert itself was already worth all the time. i felt the greatest joy when mr oura started smiling in the middle of inn. subsequently he smiled at every single piece, which was really motivational. i especially loved twinkle, towards the end i really felt that we reached the peak of our music. and i actually survived! unlike in band pracs when i always die. yayyy. even do-re-mi became my pride.
miyazaki band was awesome. they sounded so full, so together and so united as a band, even though the people all came from different schools [thinks sywo o_0] and were of different ages. basically they just rocked the hall. and the band leader was so cute! and friendly! and her english is so good! she said she was impressed with my non-existent conversational japanese. heh. i'm quite certain it was out of politeness so i shant elaborate on that. i made friends with her, i hope we really can keep in touch, then i will have a japanese pen pal, wouldnt that be cool?! =D and the guy in my section ohmygoodness he freaking looks like dio from tenri, not to mention he's just as funky. ahhh.
somehow japanese always make me feel comfortable even though we dont know one another and dont speak the same language. the enthusiasm when everyone tried to make everyone else understand was amazing. sharing scores with the japanese band people also made me realize that music is truly a universal language.
and then i wished that time would just stop on stage. because it was only then that nothing else mattered other than the music. which is what i'm holding on for.
i swear i learnt loads of things from doing this though. if i had not been scolded, i would have never realized the countless details that i have overlooked in the course of planning for the concert. if i had not been so involved in the organization component, i would never have known what was behind all the glamour of receiving audience response on stage. i'm not happy to have gone through the lousiest times, but i'm definitely grateful for the opportunity. and grateful to know that i have people around me who truly help, encourage and support me. a big thank you to all of you. -hug- hanxin, concert committee, teachers, mr oura, and everybody else who offered help, who shared my laughter and tears.
and if only we had discovered earlier that rimb is really helpful in times of need. thank you so much for going out of your way to help us, and sorry for pre-judging you so quickly.
i wonder how many people actually know what it takes to prepare for such a full-scale concert. i wouldnt want to make a list of what has to be done and what has to be taken note of. but people like misslim obviously took care of every single detail to ensure that everything ran smoothly. if she really didnt care, she need not spend so much time organizing and planning for the concert just to face criticisms from the band. yea, so she couldnt control herself in the end, but so? do you know how much effort she put in just to make OUR concert a success even when she wasnt duly acknowledged? if our concert was a flop, nobody would remember that it was because we had a lousy teacher i/c, but because we are a lousy band. every human needs opportunities every now and then to release their pent-up frustrations. maybe we merely acted as a channel for her to relieve all the stress from the concert, because she tried so hard only to find out that things werent nicely taken care of. even if you didnt agree with what she said, who are you to make personal attacks about her or her emotions when you dont know how much time she has put in for the concert just for us. it's sickening. dont you all have a conscience? yea, i'm speaking up for misslim, so what. that doesnt make me a bootlicker. all i know is that without her assistance, we would not have been able to come so far. compared to those people who only have to practise, or those who dont even practise, she definitely put in much more, and deserves more respect and any single one of you. and of course, what she learnt would be much more too. like how she should never place her trust in the band again. her band. our band.
i'm not going to say sorry for this. because i know it's true. we all know it. it's just whether you're willing to face up to it. we're all too self-centred to realize how much others have done for us, too selfish to sacrifice anything for who/what has moulded us, too high-and-mighty to accept that the world doesnt just revolve around rgssb alone.
