the brass band

as if i wasnt torn enough, blogspot had to erase my entire blog post about me emo-ing about missing the finals of the world marching band competition which was just 500m away from me in a stadium opposite the hospital where i'm staying. it was going on every night for the entire week but i didnt know. sobs. :S

to cut the whole illustration short, it brought back reminiscence from the past. days of playing in the symphonic brass band back in secondary sch. the tingling sensation, the little shock waves that run through your body as you play in sync, instruments coming together to create rhythm, tunes, music, life. the majesty of a fanfare, the serenity of a sentimental tune, the upbeat pop song, things that just make u wana tap ur feet, nod ur head, sway or sing in ur heart (since u cant sing out loud with a mouthpiece at your lips :P) the wave of the conductress' baton (Laura!) , the drum roll that commands instrument up, the adrenaline surge as the song reaches its climax or as all instruments blast in the finale.

awesome feeling. :D

hope to be able to catch next year's one then. *Hopeful*
