I went back to HSCBand today. While I’m there, I realised that I have become relatively patient compared to before. I would have shouted at my section if they were to give me that type of attitude a year back.

There are supposed to have sectionals today but the SL is not around. Since I thought he is a very responsible person, I assumed he was absent or attending some extended lesson and, hence, did not press on to find out where he was. Qiyun was not there too. They told me that they did not know why she did not turn up, which I later found out that she went to celebrate her birthday. It’s fine not playing for concert for being oversea. But this? It’s ridiculous.

I was observing how they had their sectionals (even while I’m eating the muffins). Candice, being the most “senior” there, did not take the initiative to conduct the sectionals. She even declared that she’s not playing for the concert this coming June and hence need not practise(or not as hard). Of those present, at least 4 of them had musical background and I’m disappointed that no one suggested for the section to play together. They should be self-sufficient enough or even more qualified than me to figure out the notes and study the rhythms.

Also, instead of practising hard for their new song, El Camino Real, I heard the section(namely Jermaine whom I remembered distinctly and some others I can’t recall exactly) playing excerpts and parts from “Postcard”. I do not mind if they are good players. Apparently, none in our section, at this moment, is anywhere near that standard.
