Hello. Today i will be posting about my CCA: band. I am elated as i got new reeds for my clarinet. Finally, something that truly belonged to me. I am still slowly learning how to play the many notes. I have already started learning the first 5 notes. I wonder when i will be able to play my first piece... Well, frankly speaking, i detested having to play the clarinet initially. The flute, bassoon, brasses, they all seemed more suited for me. Slowly, I have 'bond' with this new instrument of mine.
Band is requires active participation, generally speaking. My instructor says that we have to come thrice a week in the future( currently twice). Oh yah, my insturtor is Mr Kiang, who is teaching the sec 1s. Though strict, he is still a very good in structor. Perhaps it is because we will have to take part in the SYF competition in sec 2.
I have made a lot of friends in band. There are about 28 pupils in band, many from Aphelion. My section(clarinet) has about 7 sec 1s. It is the biggest section. I made friends mostly from my section.
Band is fun!

Project's Day Competition
Last week, we had a Project's Day Competition organised by my school. Both Secondary 1 and 2 pupils have to compete i this challenging competition. Each pupils are to form a group and do research on the specific title that they have chosen. Me and my group did a project on "Hydrogen, the perfect fuel". We stayed back almost once a week to discuss on how to further improve our findings. We worked hard for this project and had high hopes on winning. On the day, we were so anxious as it was our first time and we were the first group to present! We were unexeperienced but we were certainy ready.
During our presentation, our leader, also our first speaker, had took the initiative to print out scripts for us to refer. Unfortunately, due to his ceaseless anxiety, our group leader spoke at a very slow rate and even forgotten that he was speaking our part of the script. This case our group to have a relatively low point. We also had some negative resposes from the judges.
Though sad, we hope to improve on our project and strive harder for the next round.
