Day 148 Year 2008
Start entry \-Came back from the audition...I think I quite sucked as compared to my practices at home. Perhaps it was stage fright, 'cause there were like, 4 interviewers and 20 other people listening to me, and playing without a stand was quite hard. But I still received an applause at the end of the whole thing, thanks man.
And Wesley didn't ask me "Why saxophone?" =P But if he wants to, here's his answer.
The "smoke" version:
Because the saxophone is a powerful instrument. It can be the solo or the background all at the same time. There are many variations and types of it, and it makes music come alive more than any other instrument.
The truth:
I was kicked out of the French Horn section in secondary school (because they claimed I was tone-deaf) and forced to play the Baritone Saxophone. The Alto came after secondary school when I couldn't afford the Baritone Saxophone.
Ok, you got your answer. Read it and do what you have to do. Lol.
I'd like to thank Sal, Xin Rui and Aisyah for staying with me until 6pm today too. Though they didn't express any motivation (oops...wait, wait, there's more) they still stayed with me. Haha, I guess that's motivation enough.
Aaaaaaand if I DO get into Jammerz Arena, I'd be guessing that Undressing the Naked (UTN for short, and it's the band for TOG) wouldn't be asking me out for jamming sessions already, since I have another band outside, not that I'm complaining.
And the interviewer actually asked if I was interested in playing Jazz music in JA (after saying that no one in JA history has ever played Jazz and have a saxophone in the band). I mean, I'd love Jazz, but it'll better if I tried other forms of music. But I'm contented enough. =]
And of course, Last Man Standing at One Night Stand? I'm rooting for Orton.
