lots of things happened this week. tuesday we [my strings class] headed down to Kiwanis Music Festival. it was a lot of fun actually although the “festival” itself wasnt so much fun!… honestly it was a lil bit lame because it wasnt like the SUNPEAKs or the WHISTLER music festival. It was actually sad that no one came to watch us or no one was assigned to watch our performance beside the senior orchestra from my school. Usually, it should be a band or people from other school but i dont know why we ended up having our senior string class as our audience.

well we tried making it as much fun experience as we could. lolz. I didn’t know that we suppose to bring our own lunch, wait, actually i did but i just ignored it and assumed that i could find a place to get something to eat. So while all of them are eating. i was ther doing nothing. i asked my stand partner if she could come with me and see if we could find a place to buy something. a bending machine would be fine. but about 20ft away we found ABC COUNTRY RESTAURANT we were not suppose to go that far but heck who cares. so we went in and bought a meal and a ice cream/cake!.. and they have a souvenir items in there too so i picked one to buy. and i named him Kiwanis.

We went back to the practice room and shared our food with our fellow strings mate. it was fun but a mini cake wasnt enough so we bought a new one although we were forbiden to go there, me and Manal sneak in again!

I’m not sure how we did on our performance but i thought we sucked! I made few mistakes and i didnt play the hard part of the pieces. oh well, its over. thing is, SPRING CONCERT is this coming wednesday and I’m gonna redeem myself.

and btw, heres a video clips of the performance. i asked one of the senior strings whos apparently in my senior band too to film us, problem was he was sitting on a bad spot. so i was blocked the whole time. you can see my hand and my vow moving but you cant really see ME.

This first piece is called Little Russian March, i didnt like it at first because the bowing and the techniques were pretty hard, but i got used to it and i love the tune and the excitement of how it sounds

This next clip is called Fantasia on a theme from Thailand, it’s a pretty sweet piece. very asian (thailand duh!), classy and elegant though i dont think it sounded elegant at all the way we performed it.

ENJOY THE CLIPS!!!

its 2months worth of learning and practicing.
