Hey darlings :]


I think the perforamnce was really great; the band was very collected after intermission, bravely carrying on with the concert, and that was truy amazing. WELL DONE EVERYONE!
Minor problems with tuning and coordination here and there, but they did little to hurt the brilliance of the concert in general :]

Despite falling from the stairs, I still think the experience was more of an enjoyable one than a painful one ;] Haha I am alright now too; thanks very much to bms who smsed to ask about my condition, I really appreciate the concern.

Back to the topic, I think Mr Oura's outburst during intermission brought the band closer together as a whole. Giving our section and band mates encouragement afterwards was truly bonding. The cause of Mr Oura's anger lies collectively on every one of us taking our own time meeting friends; it was not the fault of any section or commitee in particular. I think Mr Oura finds us complacent after a good performance in the fist half; we did not do a well-enough preparation job for the second half of the concert, lengthening intermission at our own will, and that made Mr Oura's unpleased: We were tardy and poorly disciplined.

I think we need to understand that we were all part of the band who made that mistake; there is no sole one person to blame. Please don't fault yourself over this incident. I think recently it's noticeable that the band has been slacking in time consciousness with delayed Attendence taking and prolonged setting down time; Mr Oura's outburst is really a timely reminder: We need to improve on self-discipline and time management as a whole. Learn from this mistake and improve as a band, and that's all to it; this mistake shouldn't weigh us down :] The performance was still fantastic; the audience really loved it, and that's what matters to us as performers :]

Cadenza, for me, opened new perspectives on the band and made me love band (and you guys) more :] Aww. I hope it's the same for you ;] Know that if you need us we're here yea.

All in all, the concert was a fabulous success and we deserve to feel proud of ourselves! :D Have a good rest the next week and enjoy this long weekend.
