Due to the overlapping of the supposed-to-be schedule for audition of the Battle of the Bands and the Music Department's dry run practice, audition was moved to lunch time. We started out with the sensational intro of the dramatic I'm Just a Kid (Simple Plan) and continued on to the invigorating chorus and the rest of the song. Mr. Capobres (our very talented all around music teacher) then told us to wait for further announcements which he promised to be the day after. I'll be adding up more of the details about things when we win... I don't feel the fervor of winning yet... so what's the use of telling you all about it without winning the no.1 spot first? Anyway, due to the delay of our keyboardist, we had to repeat the audition all over again the next day, where Mr. Epres (our very kind and considerate science teacher) gave us 5 minutes to have a try again. This time around, we had more audience. Things weren't perfect as the practice we had during the weekend and I've been a little nervous as well... I can feel my heart pound from inside like the bass of the drum hitting hard. After the second performance, Mr. Capobres announced that our endeavor and talents qualifies us to the main battle. We'll be having another practice tomorrow as we have not had the time today. And regarding our local song pick, we are holding it concealed for now and shall be intimated soon.

More Band Updates
With only a few days left before the music band eliminations, we've been preparing. We've thought of the worst to happen. But I reminded everyone in the band to just hang on and have the confidence. We knew we would win. The elimination wasn't what I was worried about. I was more worried with the competition. Elimination hasn't even begun, but I've seen people from other years with great potentials that I know we'd be crossing and go up against in the competition. To those who are from another band at school. FinaL Line Up is not a band you would want to trifle with and go easy on. I wish you lots of luck. Work hard. We're all given equal chances. Make good use of that. We'll work much harder as well right after eliminations are over. It's time to shine!

Earthquake.... School... Music
Finally, things have been working again!!! It's been a week more or less since the earthquake that hit Taiwan had affected the whole internet! That's the reason I wasn't able to update at all.... Well enough of that, what's important is that I get to post up again!
School's back again... and I guess it ain't as bad as thought it would be. The New Year's over and I haven't even greeted you guys! I hope my belated greeting still reaches ya'll.
So what's new? Well, it has been announced that the band poster we have submitted will be assessed and I bet we have a big chance of getting a place! It's been announced as well that we'll be having the Musical Band Contest soon. Moreover, it's been clarified that our Music Subject Exam will be another band participation similar with 3rd Quarter's style. We were asked to play a foreign song and a local one. The only difference is that this time, we'll have to work on 4 songs. 2 songs (foreign and local) for the Competition, and another 2 for the exam. This means we'll need to work twice as hard. Let's see what happens... Up on us the only contender is Salt n' Pepper the band we've helped last Quarter. We're up for the challenge and ready to rock the school once again! It's another opportunity to prove our talents and skills once more to the whole of Sakya!
