We had a band exchange wid Regent Sec & Shuqun Sec in our sch hall today. Early in the morning muz carry all the benches & chairs.. Set up instruments,the guests were early.. The whole exchange was devided into 3 diff sections:Warm-UpsWe performed in front of the 2 schs our warm-ups procedure. We were the 1st 1. The warm-up was indeed a long 1. Regent & Shuqun's warm-ups include physical warm-ups lyk doin' sit-ups wid counts of beats. Cool sia, our sch can hav dat too?Song performance exchangeOur sch performed 'Gates Of Orion' & 'March Blue Sky'. Next up was Shuqun, den regent. Regent 1 was extremely nice. I'd rate abt 8.5 outta 10? Their performance went very smoothly. Their prowess made me drop my jaws! Damn cool sia, in the mid of the song included lots of solo parts of diff instruments.1st was the clarinetist guy, damn pro but zao sia(clarinets always liddat) a lil' bit, den comin' up was the flutist solo, den saxophonist solo, den trumpeter solo, all damn pro & cool, but a bit too soft cuz surrounded by all the other basses & melodies.. However their oboeist ruined the song a bit cuz he zao sia very obviously in his solo part, maybe cuz dat was a very high pitch. While watchin' i was hopin' the song would not end so soon, lolz! Combined SectionalsAll 3 schs gathered in our own sections & practised a song we had nvr seen b4 & learn tgt. Mr.Ong was wid us trombonists, haha, total 11 of us. @ the end combined performance. Den end of day.
