“Melihat bunyi mendengar warna”
Don’t tell me there are other more interesting things than seeing back my long time no see school band. My trip to SSP Cyberjaya which was guided by Psycho was really a trip to remember…the place where we meet Mat Bond, our school band teacher. You don’t know how many thousands he had spent from his own money just to make sure our band still alive when we first started 10 years ago. And you also can’t guess how much he had lost and suffer; it was all for the band. I was one of the people at that time to open back the long lost forgotten “bilik band”. Then we cleaned up all the dust and assembled all the disarticulated instruments and polished up all the gloomy steel with the hope it will shine brightly in the future…
It was a hard time to make people around us accept and realize our talent. My first competition in STF JB 1997 was really funny. I hardly play any notes on the score sheet; just put the instrument on the mouth and acting like playing it nicely, wahahahah!!! There are a lot more interesting stories to be shared. I’ll tell you if there is any free time when we hanging out together.
It takes 2 years for me to master the instrument and had a perfect fingering. When I saw them can play nicely, producing quite a good sound made me feel proud. It was a nice feel to see that our hard works previously finally made our juniors better than us…in some ways, heh!! And guess what? Most of them are just Form 2 and 3!! What a bright future ahead for the STARWinds!!
Hope they can play better and achieve higher, producing solid, impressive quality of sound and tuning. Make the songs livelier…and most important enjoy playing it!!
Thanks to Psycho…yosh!
