the nakamura girls' high school band is not only awesome, professional in playing, they can sing well too..almost as good as a school choir..
they are really good.they take note of slight or small details that we overlook.like cresendo, accent, air speed used, VIBRATO..oh my..they certainly can really play VIBRATO well. from the band got 2 oboist, the 18 year old is Ayano and the other one 16 year old is Yuna.i feel inferior to them..hah. the way they play their notes are so loud, clear distinct.the way i play is like muffled.hmm. All 18 year olds who came cried after playing the song 'My Way' for the exchange.this would be their last performance after being with the band for 5 years.(their school education follow the American way; high school,etc.)can you imagine everyday, from mon to sat..studies first then 8 hours of band???that is totally shocking..everyday have band.they are so confident when playing.hiazz..the 18 year old ppl have name cards too!! SO COOL. its like got the school band name on top, then also have their own name, address and their email and their section too!!so nice!!i want one for myself too..haha
the bassoonist from japan(an 18 year old too) and Ayano tried eating the chicken rice chili during lunch time, it was ok to them..not too spicy.after that, they tried one round slice of cut green chili..their expressions were like 'ahhhh, so hot..my tongue is stinging..' haha.that was really funny, they din dare try the chili or ate anything after that.
all i can say is'I WILL WORK HARDER!'to achieve to that type of standard.
hope they had a safe journey back home.
i m halfway through cleaning my bathroom in my bedroom..its DUST -FREE now..ahh..a good accomplishment before school reopens.dusted and threw away some dried old flowers.can you imagine how much rubbish i cleared, even though i just did clearing up of books a few weeks ago? i just cleared a garbage bag full of GARBAGE.
hope the new year will be better than the last.
