Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes

So yesterday was the National Marching Band Competition. I was supposed to wake up damn early but overslept because I can't sleep the whole night thinking whats waiting for me the next day. So yeah, I woke up late. I reached school around 6 a.m. Even so , at least the band had already gotten ready and is well prepared. The first trip was for the Woodwind section , upper brass and lower brass section, while the next trip was for the percussion.

While waiting for the next trip, the percussions did their warm ups. To see them preparing themselves for the competition yesterday almost made me cry. It reminds me of my very first competition 5 years ago :').
Soon after, the bus came and brought the remaining band members to the stadium where we met the rest there. The whole band made a last minute practice before the competition to familiarize with the field and after that, we went out. SMK Chung Hua Miri was outside the stadium doing their warm ups and they sound awesome :D!! They have come a long way since my time and now their band has upgraded and soon they will be a Drum Corp :).

Outside, my school's band did a little preparation before the performance. At that point, I almost cried once again :') !!! ALMOST =P!!! I saw all my seniors and I was full of joy that I forget that I wanted to pee XDD!!! My percussion senior , Audrey Tan was there :D!!! My senior conductor , Marcus Liew was there too , Julie Cheah , was there too and many more :D!! Every single one of them had made a big impression in my life and I will always be their junior :')

So overall, St Columba Marching Band did their best and yes I am proud of them :) I always tell my juniors and members, "We don't have to win the competition :) , Just do our best , and all we need is to WIN the best time of our life, because winning the best time of our life is better than any plastic trophy :). Its just an empty cup :)"


One band, One Sound.
One Hope, One Dream.
St Columba Band, We stand as One :)
