Today is the last day of the band camp, and everyone is very excited. Throughout this camp, i personally learnt a lot of new things and i got to bond and know my juniors better. This camp also allowed me to know who have the potential to lead and get to observe how the sec1s and 2s can work together to solve a problem. For my group is quite good, it consists of jie xiang, hanley, tzung ern, norman, andrew and jun yao. They are all very energetic for all the activities and they are able to encourage and motivate each other well, which i was very happy about it. The leader of my group is jie xiang and i felt that he did quite a good job in coordinating the group and engaging the group in conversations. The activities that happened each day was quite exciting.
Day 1:
we all reported at 8am, and we were told to sit in our own groups, I'm quite happy with my group as it comprises of most the people i like in band. After that we got band practice from 9-6pm . I left at around 11.30am to go hawkerway to collect the chicken rice i ordered for the band so i called 2 of my favourite sec2s jun yao and jie xiang to follow me. At night we watched a movie called Les Choristes which is 'the choir' in French. It is about a school run by a cruel principal and the main actor came to that school as a supervisor. And the students' behavior change due to his methods and the formation of the choir. After the movie we had a night station games and it involved us a lot and allowed us to be more bonded with each other. The 1st night is the most memorable one. As if u dunno, i like jie xiang a lot so i slept beside him, i also touched his upper body a while and he also looked quite turned on(highlight to see, don't if u can't stand sick stuff.
Day 2: We did morning PT from 7-8 and i left half way to collect the breakfast for the band(actually also can escape the tiring PT). After breakfast we had combine again till 6. At night we had Treasure Hunt, due to the fact that i knew all the clues before hand, i helped my group to complete all the tasks very swift and we came in 2nd for the Treasure Hunt.
Day 3: Today morning is the last day to practice for our section competition. Luckily woon ngiap came to day. So me and him could choose some other more challenging pieces to play. After the combine is the long-awaited amazing race. So the sec3s were made as facilitators which they will only tell them the clues to each location and allow them to brainstorm on their own. same for my group, i gave them the clue and when they wanted a hint from me, i'll made them do a forfeit for me. As the time goes by the forfeit become more and more sadistic. At one time i take advantage of jie xiang as the leader and say if u let me pinch ur nipple for 10s i give u 2 hints for free. And he agreed but after i issued out the forfeit, i'm sure he regretted it. My group members were also very resourceful as they started calling their parents to ask where is that particular location when they don't know where is it. So their movement is swift and we got the 1st for the amazing race. At night we had a BBQ and a lot of alumni and sec4s came to join us, we had another band practice after that and we all could respond to Mr. Tan's instructions readily so we had a great time.
Day 4 , 1am: It was right after the sec3 meeting wif Mr. Heng and the teachers, we had decided to give them a night walk so we all dashed noisily to their classes and woke them up for the walk. The walk was ok and Justin, gran and i went off to have a little fun by ourselves.
8am: We had no PT today but we had games. After breakfast the 1st ever section competition in CHSSB is commenced. All the sections did a good job. The flutes had played their pieces very well and they even had a cheer. But the clarinets had a skit and they gained the judges love by having good entertainment skills. So in the end, still the usual 3 sections. 1st is clarinet, 2nd flute and 3rd is percussion But i heard from Mr. tey that our sections marks are very close so we did quite well too.
So after all this is my last band camp liao and i felt this is a very good camp and i hope more of this kind of camps can be arranged by the future batch of leaders.
