Alhamdulillah, today was the best day ever ! We won FIRST PLACE for division B and BRONZE for the state of Selangor. And an added bonus, our drum major Abang Faddil got the BEST DRUM MAJOR AWARD followed by our band majorette Kak Neesa with the BEST CONDUCTOR AWARD. A round of applause for them and CONGRATULATIONS ! :D and THANK YOU to all the parents, teachers, our instructor, alumni, ex-seniors and schoolmates that came to support us during our performance. It really did help boost our confidence level. My burnt skin was worth this results lol~
The NATCOMP was held at SMK USJ 23. I've been there before this year for olahraga competition and I really didn't want to go there again, bad memories =_= Didn't expect to be there again and create another whole new memory. A memory which I'll be telling to my children, grand children, grand grand grand children and so on :B So my day started off at 3.45 a.m., I woke up and got ready to head to school by 5 a.m.. The bus arrived at 6.15 a.m. and we went to the venue after packing up our instruments and taking a seat in the bus. The ride wasn't long, maybe around 20 to 25 minutes or maybe less. I was too drowsy to focus on the time this morning. I kept quiet throughout the whole bus ride, was remembering my fingerings for the songs and the visuals. By the time we reached there, my tummy started to cramp. It needed the freaking toilet. Of all the time man ! Mysteries of the human body :B That's when I needed to use my mental work, I hypnotized myself to think that I don't need to go to the toilet and poop. It worked the whole day until I reached back home lol XD We had our warm up with our instruments, did some breathing exercises and rest before it was our time to perform. I was so kayu and tense during the waiting period. But normal-lah tu~
Our performance was after the 15 minute break, so we headed to the tent to get ready. Emotions were running high at that time-some of us cried, some tense, some keeping to themselves. Then our ex-seniors stepped in and helped us by doing the breath-in-breath-out exercise and gave some encouraging advice. One thing for sure is to HAVE FUN DURING OUR PERFORMANCE :) and we did. We went all out and gave our best. Although there was some mishap and incidents, we went on with our performance till the end. I still remember my mistakes so vividly =_= one thing for sure, I wasn't happy with my solo part. okay, FULL STOP there with the bad memory part. During P.Ramlee Medley, I went all out and joget XD release your inner poyo-ness lol~ Overall, the performance felt like our last practice and not an intense competition mode performance. So I was a bit concerned and relax about it. After our performance, we sat down and watched High School Klang's performance. Memang perghh, cat got my tongue moments. They were the last to perform and after that the result moment and after that PHOTO SHOOT ! Everyone was camwhore-ing each other haha XD including myself lalalalala~
So that's how we end our victorious day. I want to go into more details but I'm already feeling sleepy again. Goodnight !
SSAAS BAND STRIVING FOR VICTORY !
