  August 2009
           Hey peeps :)
Our dear SL has H1N1 so pls (1) practice hard in her name (2) make her a get well card (3) let's arrange a section visit so that we all catch it and can pon school :D 
Haha, just kidding about the last point. I think.
Some highlights of the month:
AN AWESOME PERSON'S BIRTHDAY :D Thank you people for making it one of the best! I love ya! Boston Brass Concert was cool, especially the trombone guy. Here's an excerpt of a conversation between Tharanii, me and Mr Larry LaDuke.
Tharanii: That's the trombone dude.
Me: You wanna talk to him?
Tharanii: Yeah.
(go up to him, who was talking to a bunch of guys, all depressingly taller than us)
Me: Hey, are you the trombone dude?
Mr Larry: Yes, I'm LaDuke.
AHAHAHA. Geddit? 
Tsk. Slow people.
Anyway, it was an AWESOME concert as always! Their songs were superb, their technique made us ashamed (again) and their tone made me want to fall over the railing. In a good way. And they were entertaining too:D Especially the last part where they sang their parts :)
We went back to school and got locked out. Have I mentioned that part? It was partly hilarious anyway. If we didn't come back after a great concert, I think someone would have blown his/her top, but we were pretty cool about it. The security guard patrolling the area eventually noticed us and certain heroic people went up in the dark :D It was cool, because halfway through, all the lights turned off automatically in the school and after a long silence, I thought "Are they still alive?"
But yeah:) Nice day.
What else...
Oh yeah, come for sectionals people! It's good for you (1) you practice and improve yourself (2) we laugh so much that it's a bit of a stress reliever too. 
And I interrupt my own sermon to tell you dreadful news.
Did you know you can get a disease from playing the trombone and trumpet? :O I read it in a book. Apparently some trombonists overexert their lungs and get some lung disease. But puh-lease, we can't get it in secondary school, we aren't loud enough yet.-.- 
Yups...
And Cecilia and Daphne came back on Saturday :D It was nice! Great! Awesome! I didn't feel so old anymore and it was kind of reassuring in a way to have seniors around :) Hint to certain people! Haha.
Good luck to Phyllis and Catherine for their upcoming 'O's! 
And get well soon Tharanii!
Peace out,
Grace
