I'm feeling cold & tired now but happy with my day:) The band had a concert / exchange with a visiting band from kansas today & it was quite an eye-opener:) The people were so nice! & humble:) they kept telling us what good players we were when they obviously sounded so much better than us..they were just amazing!it was like listening to a recording..every note was precise and in tune and the audience was literally blown away..and the combined band was cool..think it's the first time I've ever played in a band that big and that sounded that good before..


haha and lucky for my section their percussion section consisted mostly of guys..I was mildly surprised when each of them picked up a huge timpani drum & carried it up the stage! haha I usually have to roll one timpani along with some help & each of these huge guys were carrying them like feathers..


And I shared some good laughs tonight with Ben and Si Jia..will miss hanging around them when band ends..anyway its felt like a long long day..preparing for the concert and all..wasn't really looking forward to today but now I'm kinda sad that it's over..ah well all good things come to an end:) and there's always more in store around the corner as long as we look hard enough...
