St Patrick's School Military Band Passing Out Parade Sec 2s 2007 batch

Woke up from my afternoon nap...Had my horrible lunch cooked by my dad (chef-pose) and I left for school to watch the POP

I entered through the backgate, stoned for like 1 hour coz i had to pass Terence something earlier....before i went up to the hall and watch the parade

Too bad God decided to rain on the Band's parade today...literally...and for one thing I was actually praying for the weather to be clear...just for the band

Anyway..the event was kicked off by the procession of the sec 2s led by their band major.

While waiting for the Guest of Honour, Miss Fang, principal of St Stephen's School, The senior band played "Breaking Free" by High School Musical...

The GOH arrived everyone was seated down....

Then, there was the ceremonial letters of commendation where promotion of band members were announced...things like best section etc etc were also annoucned...the whole thing took like 1 hour at least...

After which we came to the actual concert... The SSS brass band put up quite a performance seeing that there were only at a full strength of 20+ They played oldies like "Twist and Shout" "Smoke on water"

They even combined with the SPS junior band to play some other song...

But the one I was looking forward to was the Advanced Band which were composed of Upper Secondary Patricians...

Under the Baton of Mr David Glosz, Band Master of SPSMB, they played my dad's favourite piece, :" Puggininny's Rhapsody" (dunnno how to spell) which was composed by Rachmuninov




The parade ended off and we did not bother to get some refreshments.

The 4 of us: Oli, Sharon, I and Roderick decided to go to Tampinese Mall..which we ate some stuff and literally went home after that...we did not do much......the bus rides and Mrt rides were cool though...laughing here and there...attracting stares from other commuters...


From Kembangan Station I walked all the way home


Anyway...Im gonna finally make my new Ez-link card with Oli at Pasir Ris...after that go watch movie again...too bad Terence cant join us tomorrow...sigh





God Bless!
