tonight was fun...actually monday and wednesday nights of this week were fun because before this week, the last time i played the clarinet was like 2003...so long ago......i guess it's an age issue...like when u're a junior and u see the alumni coming back to perform for concerts, you barely think nothing of it. But...when u're part of the alumni going back to perform for concerts, it's an entirely different story altogether. because it's not really for the performance or the audience that we're concerned about, if at all. in fact, it's about playing again, sitting in the midst of the clarinets/flutes/trumpets/sax/tubas/euphos/trombones/horns and listening to those melodious tunes fill up the space around you. i should think that's what most of us miss :(

but seeing so many people from my batch turn up for practices and for the concert felt really good. it's as if we're back to 02/03 again, having regular band pracs, feeling like you can feel the notes, listening to the various players coming together as one...whee! daniel, fadzry, farid, baorong, jason, edmund, veronica, huixian, weiting....!! if i wasn't gg to be away from s'pore next year, i'll prob play for majestia in may. oh well, till NSSN (not so silent night) 2007!
