Recently I went to my Junior’s concert. It was in RP and of course, the juniors I meant was RPWS. Even though they played in the studio instead of the theatre, all the memories during the time when I was in band came back to me. It’s like those movies where a flashback just occurs. And sitting beside me was Yani, my senior and section mate. Throughout my 2 years with Yani, both of us were the only committed ones in the section. Our juniors seems to flee. But if our juniors don’t flee, I don’t think I’ll be creating music with great players like Lewis and of course Colin. Those were the good old days. And not to forget Hafiz! The weirdo who always come back.
Remembered my first year in RPWS. Just joined and have to practice for Singapore International Band Festival, competition. Furthermore, the year before, my sec school’s competition. Thought of resting and tadaa, another competition to prepare. NIGHTMARE! We played Gloriosa and practice like crazy. Getting that Silver felt so much better when my sec sch received Gold. It just felt like all our hardwork paid off.
All the music we played in our concert or performances, it always leaves me with a lot of memories. I’ve made great friends with this bunch of people. Even though we always fight back then, but we know we love each other and got each other’s back. I miss those times. I wish I can turn back time.
I miss Yusri’s conducting more than Ms. Chan’s..
