Finally found the time to continue that unfinished post, no work today... For those of you who don't know what is a Djembé, below is a picture of the one I played...
That day was like every other day, even though it was the performance itself, I wasn't too exicited... Maybe it's because I'm just one out of the many performers, so there was no pressure... About the performance, it went well, but I didn't give it my best... I'm not sure what happened, I just kept playing like my normal practice standard, not my performance standard... Our segment was quite short and nothing went wrong, so I don't think anyone noticed...
Now that everything is over, I can safely say that I had gained next to nothing from this event... However, my band gained a whole lot... The reason I was there was because the organiser asked my band director to send some members to make up the numbers, but since I was there, I was asked to seek out new members... I had to socialize alot, more than my usual self at least... Amongst the few days of practice, I briefly told the potential candidates of my intention... It was until the last day when my band director personally invited them to join my band... The Singapore Polytechnic boys were quite interested, this Monday two of them came down for the practice, the rest had project meeting... Is this becoming a very boring entry?
Let's have a change of direction, did I ever mention there were girls amongst my group? I've invited them over to my band as well, one had confirmed joining, and three others replied to my sms saying they were not free that Monday... They said they'll come when they are free next time, don't know how true that would be though... Things are starting to get interesting, looking forward to every Monday's practice that I used to dread... Pictures were taken, I'll post them when I get my hands on them...
