Lunch Thots
While I wait to go for lunch...
Well, so I went to the St Pat's Alumni Band Concert at VCH last night. At least 14 of our band members were there to support. We cancelled band practice today cos from what we know, a big bulk of the members would not be present - either supporting in attendance or playing for the concert. Is that supportive or is that supportive? Haha... And apparently, name-calling during band concerts extends beyond secondary school students. Sigh... The one for Rauf was super funny...inside joke.
Looking at the players' list from the programme, I realised that at least 10% of the alumni band members are current TP students. Of course not all of them are in TP Band lah, but that's besides the point. A couple of them were from Music Vox. Anyway it was good to see them all.
Louis was surprised to see me. He's forever reminding me that I rejected him at JPSAE. Tsk...
I really give it to the committee who is managing the alumni band (any alumni band for that matter), cos I know it's really a tough job to maintain and to prepare for a concert with members who sometimes can't be there for practices. It takes a good sense of responsibility and commitment by all the members, and even more so for the one(s) pulling everything together. David Glosz made a little speech about that in a funny way...that the members disappear more and more in the order of work, girlfriend, and you see them gone when the boys get married. By the way, I realised for the first time - he doesn't have an Ozzie accent like I thought he would have. I don't know why I have that impression. If I wasn't looking at him when he talks, I'd probably think he's a Singaporean Chinese.
After then it was supper with the band kids at Makansutra. Tonight's another one at the same place and same time...supporting another band member. Woohoo!
