SYF Outdoor Display Band 2010It's the SYF Outdoor Display Band Competition again! Other than our own secondary school and JC's SYF, we are never so crazy over it.Totally nothing to do with us, but we simply liked the idea of outdoor band.

Tanjong Katong
Back in Hai Sing, we don't do outdoor at all.
The only chance we got was Kai Ling and me attending the NCO camp, where we got to learn everything in a week. That was the one and only time i held my trombone and did some cheesy formations.
Sob. it's like 7 years ago. Gasp.

TK.
This year, Mr dearest Felix took up Ping Yi and had to conduct at the competition. So we manage to get tickets to watch! Also, this is the first time in the Indoor Stadium (it use to be at the national stadium). It's so so so much better.
It is always between TK, Deyi, Bowen.
This year, deyi got it all: Best Display Band, Best Drum Major.
Next time, Ping Yi's also goona be in the league. HAHA, they got GOLD! and Ms Sia's shriek when the results was announced was classic la! Ms Sia use to teach them, and now it's her student taking them. Haha.
Well, the feeling watching all these marching band really made us felt young. All the band discussion, the childish competition, comments on the musicality, going gaga over the drum major's stunts, and omg-ing at the songs of our times. Gosh.
Ping Yi.
The bands stood in front of their school's supporters and played their competition piece again.
i found it very touching to salute their supporters this way.

All the bands. Reciving results.
恺玲说,我们去找一个outdoor marching band来参加。
呵呵。我不介意呢。
但是,这种活动在新加坡,是不提倡的。太耗金钱和时间。
重点是,我们也超龄了。-_-!
曾经,我说过band是我生活里头的重心。曾经因为没有参与任何乐团而感到迷失。后来,这样的band的形式改变了,不再是中学时期的那种懵懵懂懂,转而是大学里头有点复杂的交流。然后,觉得自己是时候放手,却常常因看着演出、比赛而内心感到遗憾。似乎,这样的精彩还没历经够,就已经离这样的圈子很远很远了。
这种感觉很强烈。
很开心看到朋友们仍对band那样地热衷,却也同时觉得,自己已经
走远了。
