"you are like our children. if we could protect you we would"
bronze
the moment they walked off the stage i was in tears. i knew there was the possibility that we wouldn't get the gold. but bronze? it never crossed my mind. hid my feelings and had lunch with them. then went back to listen to the 4 remaining bands.
then it was the announcement of results. out of 10 of mr ng's bands, only one got gold, and a few bronzes. as compared to 2008, where he had 6 golds and no bronze.
when they said "compassvale primary, bronze", i couldn't believe it. i was sure there was some mistake. turning around, i saw all my instructors staring in shock. no disappointment, unlike their reactions to the other bands, just shock. cvps, which had never seen anything less than gold, bronze? cvps, the top in au and hk competitions, bronze? cvps, mr ng's 'pride and joy', bronze?
i was just staring at the emcee. but once we left the concert hall, it hit me. bronze. bronze. bronze. i felt the tears coming once i looked at mr ng.
shook hands with mr rizuan. thanked him for all he did in the last month
heard mr rhymee on the phone:'the most shocking thing, compassvale got bronze'.
looked at mr paul, who had told me:'i don't need to hear i know you get gold'
looked at mr robin, who had said about the same thing as mr paul. who was teary
looked at ms valerie, who was just shocked for her xingnan
looked at daryl wee, who was not being loud and obnoxious for the first time since i've known him
looked at ms corine, who was devastated at wellington's results
cried to mr jasper, who told me life's not fair.
walked down to first floor of SCH. cried with ivy for a while before calming down to calm the kids. but seeing the way they cried made me start all over again. went onto upper brass bus. the vp and a new band teacher i/c were with us. i think they were at a loss. the new teacher was dry eyed and it made me sick. but i don't blame her. the bus was silent except when siyi or ivy or i spoke to them. except for their sobs. it really broke my heart.
reached school. mrs siah was in the band room waiting. she sat at the keyboard, her expression unfathomable. then she said that she was proud of us. that we went as one band, and returned as one band. that whatever happens, we will do our best. that we would never forget this day. i've never seen so many tears. but if you saw 50+ children crying, you would cry too. it's just cruel
stayed back with alumni to talk with mrs siah. felt better with her. i really admire how she was able to hold back her tears while talking to them. she made me realise that it didn't matter what we got. that every single person who was in that concert hall when we played knew what we deserved. that that was enough to let us hold our heads up high
i look forward to hearing the shit the adjudicators come up with tmr. hope mr ng won't be too affected. he's not replying mrs siah's or my sms-es. it's worrying.
my eyes are tired. i think i just made them cry more when i told them to stop. really bad headache and blocked nose. might take mc tmr
we will rise again. i have faith in them

kaleidoscope was quite ok. started out screwed but it picked up at audi concert. of all the performances yr2s had to miss band. dammit. for symph orchestra i preferred radetzky to hoedown:D might be cos of different conductor styles haha
amb concert AMBience XII was good. first time i went to vch without sch bus. weird that alumni played the encores. but they were all high and it made me happy:D
their euphos are goood. there were 2 of them. one sec2 and another probably 4 or 5. but they were really loud and it sounded like just one extremely powerful player. so either they were highly in tune or the sec4/5 imba and sec2 cmi. eupho solo by that sec4/5 in totoro was beautiful
met some cvps ppl:D i have not grown shorter! -.- you can't grow short zzz
can't believe tmr is only saturday:D woke at 12 today and it was awesome. tmr should be just as great if no one spoils my plans :D yay:D
