Due to the delayed broadcasting of Vision Part II, i now present you (Courtesy of Carine!~~* Love ya~!) with my all-time favourite band,
BT BAND
The volume is not too good here. The volume for the next video on Yr 2002 is much better. ;)
I always wanted all my close friends (whether sec sch, jc, uni or wbg friends) to see BT Band and the BT BAND spirit!!! This is like a dream come true!!!
This is when i was in Sec 4. Although my favourite is still Band Comp '98(the old video tape is collecting dust on top of my desk), this is also an unforgetable year where i learnt lots of leadership skills, getting pissed-off most of the time, and having my AAC aka "Anti-Annie Club" with Kumar being the Club President ( ahaHAaha~~* and i still love you friend~* ;P)
1st formation: Hmm... i think it was 4 zeros. haha~* forgot liao.
2nd formation: Tulip!!
3rd formation: Orchid~~* Jumping, supposed to be color changing one (We kept our secret weapons to be used during the finals, haaha)~!! Spent the most time practicising that~*
4th formation: Lotus. Oldies feel~
5th formation: Hmm...we always called it the Olympics rings. Looks like sunflower with Big round petals.
6th formation: S21. To symbolise Singapore 21st century.
We even participated in the National Day Parade 2001 when i was in JC1(this is where i earned my 120 hours of CIP!!). Have you ever imagined, 60,000 people looking at you, and you are not alone. 140 strong team is with you. When the mace rises (the stick which the drum major holds), all goes silent. An immense feel of honour and glory streamming fast in our blood, we were all excited to present the best that we have.
And the mace drops. Drummers rolls their drums and we march off!! Within 8 mins, which feels like split seconds, all's finished! 7months of practice ends within a few mins. Hardwork, everyday during the weekends and holidays, we spent hours (7am to 6pm) under the hot sun, drizzling light rains, windy comfy weathers, All was well paid-off with the comradeship, loyal friendships natured.
1st Formation: 6 rows with the Axillary (A) Team as flag team in between.
2nd Formation: Clam~ haha~~*i love it very much~
3rd Formation: Seashell by the seashore. had a hard time catching the tempo and RUNNING!!
4th Formation: Jelly fish!!
5th Formation: A normal fish swimming from left to right~ haha~reminds me of curry fish 6th head~
6th Formation: An angel fish swimming from right to left~
7th Formation: Starfish!! A blue one~ hahAHA~~*
8th Formation: Stingray~
9th Formation: Pisces~ In short, its 2 fish. haha~~*
This is the year where I came back as an ex member to help out with the BT Band. Although for this to competition, we spent more time in BP (Bukit Panjang Govt. High) fields to practice, I still love the old Teck Whye field~, where you are able to see squirrels on trees, lots of trees at the back of the field and behind the canels there’s the train which goes all the way to Malaysia. I used to go for Band practices early in the morning, daily for all holidays during sec sch years. Our Kakis(Very close friends) are all leaders, so we had the chance to OWN the band room keys and spent almost 24 hours daily!!! That was my sec sch moments, ALL in BT BAND room, the field, the bball court.
I used to arrive as early as 6~6.30am, together with my best pal Qing, we sat outside the Band room and Fabian will arrive with the Keys( That was yr’98). I used to stand outside the Band room, watching the sun rising from the east and thinking “How can I paint it out?” Damn!! I think I’m dumb enough for those years not thinking of the image-capturing device called “The Camera”. Anyway, it was all Awesome~ This old Teck Whye field is now occupied by BP! Because BP is undergoing renovation, they will occupy Teck Whye for 2 years!!! ;P
Now, after exams, i should be able to visit BP (when time permits) and help out with Band Comp 2008!! DAmn, i want that "Best Display Band" award and its all fated!! That we are gonna win the Best Band Award working on the old Teck Whye field!!
This coming Band Competition, we're back with a vengence~~*
