Making History with Music

Salam and hey everyone!

     I've been in hiatus for a while now. Been really-really-really busy. Finally! I have the time. Thought I'd share with all of you the joy I felt when our orchestra managed to be the CHAMPION in the Festival Wind Orchestra SBP 2012. It might not seem much to some people but this is the annual competition that means EVERYTHING to us musicians in the Fully Residential Schools. Winning this festival brings pride to the school and to the musicians. It's a question of pride and glory.

     We came into the preliminary stage with two songs- Hounds of Spring and Dengar Ini Cerita. We managed to place in the top 8 and participate in the Finale. On 1st July we went to the Putrajaya International Convention Centre(PICC) hopeful and we played our hearts out to the tune of Hounds of spring. We were the second last to perform.

    We've imagined the situation of winning and losing so many times in our heads beforehand. Planning to either cry of jump and stuff...but when the moment came all of those 'plans' dissapeared. It was like the moment froze and everything else didn't matter. We proved it! We were CHAMPIONS!!

  Here are some moments that took place (some ridiculously ugly-i was crying).
