Overwhelming sense of pride!
Man! Boy do I want to rush over to get a ticket to Penang this moment! As I told Jiin Joo a moment ago, I just want to see some crazy band members strutting their stuff, me shouting at the top of my lungs like crazy too, and then, the best part, sweating my pants off when they announce the results. (for readers out there, it is the National Marching Competition I am talking about)
Firebird? West Side Story? Gosh, those songs are not even easy playing them on a chair, needless to say, having which foot to accompany which beat to worry about!
Watching the video brings back major memories...there is still the few who seems to march off beat, the crowd still cheers at all the right moment, the occasional(a lot more frequent since my time) flawless transforming lines and curves, I still get worried when I see the drum major's maze go up in the air, my spirits soar high when I hear the countdown signal to start, I feel like swaying right left center during the static performance...all this enveloped with overwhelming pride and I feel like shouting out, "Hey! that is CHS band and I was once part of THAT!"
I went to the website (http://chsb.cjb.net/). I do not know any names there. I do not recognise anyone familar. The only thing recognisable are those under ACHIEVEMENTS. I scrolled to 1997, 1998, 1999....there, I belonged to that part of the history.
Shit! I AM SO DAMN PROUD OF THEM :)...I want to watch the video again and again. Gosh, are they having the competition live?!
