band
24.7.07 @ 21:07 band. no, not rock bands or jamming bands. i'm talking about *cue music Time Remembered bar 35* concert bands. a place for its members to love, hate, cry, laugh, live and die not literally, but musically. imagine going through pieces like *cross fade Time Remembered with Persis bar 72* Persis Overture which tells the story of a young man being sent back in time to ancient Persia where he met a beautiful young princess and fell deeply in love. and later, had to run away to prevent getting caught by the guards. *Persis bar 174* Or, adapting the story of Noah's Ark into a beautiful piece of music which establishes itself with a strong bass note that introduces an alluring trumpet and euphonium solo. beautiful isn't it? *cue music Time Remembered* at a tender age of 12, i didn't know that making a choice of being part of this group can make such a difference to my life. being part of this big family was something that really made my secondary school life more colourful. making new friends from the various levels, classes, backgrounds. it made me understood the importance of being able to ignore certain things that are happening around you. i was happy that i didn't have to manage any politics back then. those 4 fruitful years flew by. and the next thing i know, i've graduated and am in a polytechnic. continuing my journey at a tertiary level is a whole lot different from secondary school times. there's no teacher in charge to boss you around. but with that, comes great responsibility to make yourself attend each and every practice. i admit, i did skipped a couple of practices back in year one. but since then, i've not skipped any. year two was a growing up process for me. to first encounter politics in band, well that came as a tough thing to learn. and now ending up in my final year of study, band is still my second family. nothing much has changed since the first day i stepped in to the band world. the instruments, the music, the passion are still the same. the difference lies in the way we see the band. life has taught me some very valuable lessons, but i feel, band, has taught me more than i can ever learn. i have regreted certain things in life, like not choosing some courses that i would very much like to do now. but one thing i'll never regret is joining band, both crestwinds and tp band. because band is where i found my love for music. without band, i probably wouldn't have found the healing and soothing properties of music. band, a place for its members to love, hate, cry, laugh, live and die. with love, xoxo |
