It totally paid off.

Today was the day we all were waiting for. And it was that 15minutes of performance that will determined our standard. I couldn't describe how nervous we were...
It all began after the trip at the Genting Highlands,Malaysia for an international band competition.( we got back a SILVER. yay!)
It was like,band practice 24/7. Kind of exaggerating but,really, there was no time to have fun. My social life was hiding somewhere... And it stinks.
So yah, we practiced so hard. I guess we wanted to taste that victory again.
A lot of stress and scolding,that's for sure.

And now,the big day came. There were many alumni supporting us from Steven's batch to faizul's batch. So i thought we were very lucky.
After the tuning and everything,that was it. It was our turn to perform.
We went up smartly to the stage and i couldn't help but look at the judges. It was very intimidating.. But it didn't stop me from focusing.
Word of the day-Focus. It's really a powerful word,seriously. If u really focus,u can achieve it.

Anyway,when we were playing our first piece,Overture1, Sir was giving us a few thumbs-up so i guessed we played pretty well. The only problem was,i played few notes wrongly so it totally crushed me. And not only me. Some others like,Umar and Miner. They broke down after that. After looking at all their faces, we weren't confident anymore..

It seemed like hours when we were at the conference hall,waiting for the results. Then when the emcee started saying the results,i was holding Shikins hand very tightly and we stared closing our eyes. The suspense was killing me..

Band #24, Changkat Changi Secondary School.....SILVER!

Wow. How ecstatic we were. So those who didn't believe in us, In your face!(Ha!)
We went back to school,very proud of ourselves. We totally made an improvement.
After the screams,we went home.

And now,i can fully concentrate on my studies(:
