Feb. 12th, 2006 11:54 pmSo, I forgot to mention I wouldn't be online this weekend becaused I'd be gone all Saturday and Sunday for the Chapman Honor Band.
Chapman on Saturday was from 8 AM to 8 PM and then Sunday from 9 AM to 6 PM (our concert was at the end of Sunday). Saturday night Galaxy and Emma slept over because they also are in Chapman and we were carpooling and it made things over. The sleeping over was fun, even if we had to go to bed at like 12:30 to wake up the next morning at 7:30.
Chapman itself was... eh. Our Wind Ensemble is better than that honor band. I mean, that sounds like an exaggeration, but, ok, one of the other (of 8! 8! How ridiculous!) tenors who was sitting next to me played this staccato note as legato. And ok, it sounds stupid when I say it like that, but it wasn't just once, it was every freaking time we played it, and it was a slow section, and come on! You should know what a staccato is if you're in an honor band! And he also couldn't do basic rhythms at all. And most of the tenors had horrible tones and played loudly and everytime they tongued a note it was accented, even during stagger breathing, which no, not what you're supposed to do. bleh. Just bad. Oh well.
After Chapman ended today, I went to Woodbridge Center for dinner and then saw Rent with Emma, Galaxy, Matt Chen, Michele Wong, and Kiyoshi. Emma, Galaxy, and Matt hadn't seen it before, and I don't think Michele or Kiyoshi had seen it either (it was my 4th time, btw). Oh, man. I freaking love that movie so much. I'd think I'd be sick of it by now, but no. I'd be perfectly willing (even eager) to see it again in the next couple of days. I love that everytime I catch little things that are just so... awesome. Like during "Today 4 U" when Angel gets to the part where Collins was "moaning and groaning on the cold concrete" and then there's a shot of Collins and he's shaking his head and mouthing something like "No, I wasn't" to Roger and Mark, and ah! I just love it! Also, first time I've cried actually in a movie theater (didn't even do that for Brokeback Mountain). Of course, if I was at home, it would've been far worse. But still.
Anyways. Nice weekend, even if the Chapman group sucked. No school tomorrow for some sort of random holiday! Excellent.
