Music language

Today was the last practice before the competition which will take place later in the afternoon. Everyone's pretty nervous and excited. First, this is the first time in UM history where they've changed the competition way. We have to go through preliminary rounds first before we get into finals, which will be held at night. So everyone's pretty nervous. We only have one chance to go ONLY. If we don't get throught the preliminary then that's the end of us.....

And so before we offically close our practice for the year, everyone had to share. One of the junior shared this. He has no musical background or whatever. He said that he went for the audition for choir without knowing that choir is where ppl sing. He thought that choir was acting. That already got us laughing dy but this was the BEST!!! And so he thought it's singing not acting, so with confidence he thought since he could sing already why not just go for the audition. Fill up the form and go for it. When he entered, he was asked to sing. They were testing his vocal limits so he was singing happily suddenly the pianist said F. To his horror, he said 'what? I FAILED? How can I fail singing?' He was shocked. Didn't ask much but just walked out of the room. When the first list of those who were selected to join the choir was out, he was shocked to find his name there. Then he kept that incident behind him.

Today, he shared about it, asking us what does F mean coz until today he didn't understand why he had failed his singing and yet was selected into the team. Then we all burst out laughing explaining to him that F was his range...the lowest range he can go. But to the poor boy he thought all these while he had FAILED singing. ahahaha i was laughing til my tummy aches. It's funny to see hear ppl without muscial background and the way they interpret music language.

I am pretty nervous about the competition tomorrow. I pray everything goes well for me as well as my team mates. It's been a while since I last played in big crowds. All the best to missy and team!!!
