The Band Story :)

WARNING : THIS IS GOING TO BE LONG 

So as you guys know ... I'm in a band .

Concert Band actually , to be specific :) 

Honestly , when I was in secondary 1 , I hated band . I literally dragged my feet and cried myself to sleep 1 day before the day we had band . 

The conductor was tough , my tutor unliked others , was horrible and besides that , I did not had many close friends . 

Things started to get better , at the middle of sec 1 . When the conductor hired 2 other teachers to teach the junior band . Mr Lim and Mr Er . 

Mr Lim was a great teacher :) he was patient , fun and very nice . All of the juniors always an anticipated his presence for band instead of our "head conductor" . 

One thing you should know about the "head conductor" , he was extremely strict , cold , mean , rarely smiled , expected highly of us , not as patient and was just plain .. Horrible . You would not want to mess with him . 

- PICTURES DO NOT BELONG TO ME -

Well , for Mr Er , he was nice at first . Compared to our "head conductor" he was slightly better . SLIGHTLY . I still liked Mr Lim better though :\ anyways , this was what changed . Why I said "nice at first"

Currently , I play the tenor saxaphone in band and alto saxaphone for exams . Before I switched my instrument to saxaphone , I was in this section of the cornets . To those who don't know . The cornet is a smaller version of a trumpet . 

- PICTURE DOES NOT BELONG TO ME- 

I did not have a problem with it actually . I could buzz (google that) and my fingering was perfectly fine at the beginners level . But I just did not like brass instrument and whenever I tried playing the instrument , I get bad headaches . I also thought long term , where I knew that I would not be able to stand this instrument . So I requested to my "head conductor" a change to the saxaphone section . 

I saw this opportunity to play the instrument  as my friend , Nicole , was originally playing it and was sick for 2 weeks . 

To this day , I feel SO guilty for "taking" and "replacing" her spot for saxaphone . Honestly , if I were in her place , I would feel incredibly hurt and unwanted .

Anyways , the "head conductor" allowed the change . He said he would monitor my progress and whatsoever . I started playing on it ... And stuff like that . My tutor was not very nice to me . Compared to the cornet tutor , he was way much better . But that was fine actually . I had my seniors to guide me and stuff :) 

After that , we went for sectionals , where Mr Er conducted us . He saw that I changed instruments and became angry . He scolded me and yelled . That didn't bothered me till this : 

" I don't even want to see your face ." 

That hurt . It was like "ouch." I wanted to cry and run out of there ... It was horrible . I remember he made me sit in the corner like a primary 1 girl and practice my high D . Like WTH , it's my 1st day playing this instrument and you want me to reach every single note ? 

Till this day ... I remember the feelings , the moment , the embrassement  . They say that people should just buried the hatchet and let go . Well , I'm sorry . Wait I'm not sorry . Screw you , I just can't do that . 

Thanks for reading :) 

That was pretty intense 😂
