Band Competition - State Level..

Every year, people look forward to the Annual Band Competition (State Level). Now, i am proud to present the review for the Band Competition, (BC) , this year, 2006.

Date: 6 July 2006
Time: 7.30 am to 12.00 pm
Venue: Stadium Perpaduan..

Mainly, there are 4 schools competing this year, which are:
1) St Jo Kuching
2) St Jo Miri
3) Chung Hua Miri
4) Green Road

All are good and high-standard schools, giving their best shot in the competition. As you can see i lined them up in order, too! First comes the uniform inspection. Judges head down to the lines of band members, inspecting their uniform, from every single hair down to their feet.

Then it starts... with SMK St Joseph Kuching!! As usual... they're good. Good song choices too, i have to say. Green uniform, eye-catchy and action hero like.. maybe they're trying to make another statement or something..(wanna see.. ask stella or geraldine for pictures). For the formation.. it was big and good.. i dont get why you have to do it from the back though.. Overall, it's a good show. (* i missed it cause i have to do the stupid warm up! Drats!) Second, comes St Jo Miri! Black, White and Gold uniform.. the design is the same from last time only the colour changed.. They looked like bumble bees.. ZZzzzZZit.. they're nice, good but heck, the sad part is, the drum major dropped the mace.. 3 times (if not mistakenly counted by a spy..). Sad, but they still kept their hopes high. Then it's Chung Hua Miri.. black, red uniform. Seriously, they look like a bunch of communists army guys. Best thing is, they brought a huge china gong! That was like.. awesome.. their songs are mostly ... hmm... military-like.. ( BrrrBrmmit..BrrBrmmit.. ) There's another part where all of the members sang a solo-all-alto part ( WhoooOOoooOOOo..). The drum major was bangin' he threw the mace sideways up. That aint something you gonna see everyday. Last school, Green Road. Same uniform as the previous year, blue, white, same drum major. they were keeping it simple and clead but perfect. It was a good show.

Well, i don't think anyone would read all the brags and stuff i typed up there.. Overall, here's the summary and results..

Summary:
It's pitiful that only 4 schools participated. It's a good thing that they provide food and free milo. It's sad that the food was like prison food but the milo was great! It's another good thing that they invited other school students to come as spectactors. It's also a good thing that St 3 students get to skip 2 days of school for the performances. It's a bad thing cause we have lots of homework after that...

Results:
1) Best Uniform: St Jo Kuching
2) Best Drum Major: Chung Hua Miri
3) Placings:
1- St Jo Kuching
2- Chung Hua Miri
3- Green Road
4- St jo Miri (they cried after that.. sob..)

that's the end! It's not an entire review but.. at least i'm updating this blog, kay.. i apologise if any were offended. No hard feelings.. right? swt.. Peace!
