oh yay. i typed out a long post about things to clarify and now they are gone. hahaha. fate lar. anyways i still feel there is a need to clarify a few things. like regarding verine's transfer to 3rd clarinet. oh boy. actually i kinda regret shifting her there. sigh. it all began with me not being able to teach justin properly, so he got transfer to 2nd and so i am left so alone with 1st clarinet sounding so dead for the first ~~freaking~~ time in the mayflower concert band history. ): hey it was one 1st, three 2nd and three 3rd okay. and i wasnt that of a superbly excellent player that can play super loud to be heard and still be accurate. and so cyndi got shifted to 1st and i wasnt really getting used to it so i didnt teach her much. then it ended up that jill has to be shifted too and leaving 3rd dead instead of 1st dead. according to mr tan, either 1st die or 3rd die. i said i rather 1st to die but he refused and he wants 1st alive. seriously 3rd is nicer than 1st so i think 3rd should stay alive. haha. oh wells. so that's the first part of the story.

then since verine and huiwen are going to japan, mr tan suggested that one of them be moved to 3rd to try to support 3rd. i was saying let 2 seniors either both stay in 2nd or move to 3rd together but mr tan says that then that will be leaving 2nd to be dead if both seniors move to 3rd. and so he said one of them MUST be shifted to play the 3rd and try to support them although at that point of time he doesnt feel that they can support since none of the seniors came back for practices. and so that gives the third part of the story.

next happened after the O's and the seniors are back. oh ya i forgot the part of christabelle being shifted too. she is meant to be there to make 3rd sound loud enough coz she plays quite loudly in 2nd. okay i didnt mention about my mixed emotions too. sigh. okay nvm. not that jolene wasnt a good player but she's soft. i think there's improvements in some of the players after these few weeks of continuous practices but some kinda remained. and some de-proved, like me. haha. kidding. i really cant tell about my own playing so i label myself as lousy instead of good. wahahaha. low self-esteem. ANYWAYS. belle and justin are loud players so either one has to shift to 3rd. coz one of them has to keep 2nd loud while the other has to keep 3rd loud. i cant rmb why i didnt shift justin. sth happened that time that i shifted belle instead. oh wells. okay actually this is the second part of the story instead. haha. argh i so badly want justin back in 1st! ):

after O's what happened was i dunno what to do with the seniors. sigh. so tired of always making a big fuss when it's only a small matter. for example Postcard from Singapore. the solo parts and two players part. argh. to others it may be a small matter but somehow i feel that it concerns how the players feel. okay explanation later. anyways i didnt know what to do as i feel that i always think about how the players feel instead of how their sound will affect the band. so i decided to ask mr tan and i told him about how i think the seniors will feel. and so the decision was out a long time ago. i think even before the O's. but i kinda regret coz verine looks sad. sigh. but at least now there's still a switch for most of the players for our all-time familiar song - ABRAM'S PURSUIT. (: always look on the bright side of life!

Postcard from Singapore. in actual fact, the solo parts in the second movement is actually a simple accompany rhythm. that's why when i come to think of it, i feel stupid to have given so much thoughts over it. and the two players part is also a simple accompany rhythm. its simple yet important to give the beats. i dont mind letting my section know that in fact, i actually discussed many things with theodora, the retired cold-blooded SL, before decision was made. hahaha. seriously she is cold-blooded. i asked her about this matter. then she wants me to decide on my own coz it's a simple thing. she only told me not to bother about how the players feel. argh and that IS exactly the reason why i couldnt decide on-the-spot. by right if it was her, she would have just decide on-the-spot but i wasnt her. something tells me that at that time, both of us picked the same solo players. but somehow still gotta respect seniors what. and not as if they play very lousy. haha. no bad intentions! and so i decided to be cold-blooded for once and try to see the results. and whee this is it!

okay if anyone want more clarification can directly ask me. coz i dont mind telling my section about the things that's happening. and i cant be always having sectional meetings just to say such things coz not everyone is concerned. sigh. these posts are made coz i kinda feel that there are people out there wanting to know but yet dunno why they never ask. to be truthful, i feel super tired out so i only answer when people ask. i guess everyone is tired too but yet still very excited about the japan trip. haha. 3 more days! WHEE! i wanna food spree! (:
