Today is the first time I heard a harmonica ensemble, and it was pretty cool. So after H3 this afternoon, I went to guest-play for harmonica as they need a bass and saw a few familiar faces. (: The pieces are ok; I guess we just need more practice.
I have been noticing a few issues for quite some time already but did not bother to think about it until now. One of them is that the music scene among the performing arts groups is quite saddening. Well, most of the ccas members are not enthusiastic about their cca and syf. We need motivation man! It is inevitable I guess. Most of the people who joined performing arts ccas are there not because of interest, but because they do not have any other alternative as they cannot do sports. I might get bombarded for saying this but this is the bitter truth. =/
Chamber is one of the lucky ccas already since our instruments cannot be learnt from scratch in 1 year's time. However, we are merely hinging on our grades and skills but our spirit is nowhere to be found. In this aspect, I am glad that the J1s sort of lightened the atmosphere in chamber.
I still remember the good old days in RISE when everyone is so on about syf and when we strived hard towards our goal. In fact, I would probably not have attained my musical grades and shared so much joy with my friends without RISE.
