RHYTHM XXIII.

(also known as)
my first ever concert in my life,
my first Rhythm with DHSSB,
my first and last Rhythm with the year fours): ,
my first time on stage wearing concert attire,
my first time wearing loose court shoes with stockings which made it more loose (what an experience),
my first time feeling the tension on stage before saga,
my first time playing in front of such a large audience,
my first time hearing and feeling the applause at the end,
my first time having that sense of fulfillment.

it was nerve-wrecking, exciting, scary, fun, awesome.
and really a memorable day.

i only have some pics with me now, when i've got all i'll upload :)

the rehearsal went okay in the afternoon, just that venus couldnt play with us ): our first concert, i really wanted her to experience it with us. thankyou for still supporting us, i'll be looking forward to next year's Rhythm with you :)

had a long break, and received some gifts thankyou :D went to change to attire, i was having trouble with the stockings haha. but managed to wear it in the end. took pics in the band room, and then dinner. it was quite short, but i enjoyed it :D

everything was abit hectic after that. went to fall-in in full attire and instrus before going PAC. i was super nervous at that time, you should have seen my very sweaty palms hahah. rehearsed how to go on stage after the seniors finished credentium. we were standing at the corridor, where we could see people registering. saw my family hahah :D

could hear credentium from where we were standing, and also heard samantha's eupho solo haha. it all seemed to pass very fast, and suddenly we were cued to go on stage for saga. i was like !@(*&#% and almost tripped on the steps lol, but after i sat down with them i felt better haha. saga was seriously nice but really emotional, and im quite happy to say that i did my best.

after that we got to hear the senior high's performance, super nice :D i realised that from the top of the PAC you can see everything, but when you're performing the audience cant really be seen, its like one big sea of black. hahah. in a way its not that scary.

talked to shihming and sining during intermission, then went out to take our instrus and saw my family plus xiaomin, yuxuan, nicole :D was really happy to see them.

didnt drink anything ever since we played saga, and one of our files went missing ._. luckily everything was okay before carmen. the whole concert seemed very short, and then it was our last song. i was just thinking about cherishing that moment, i knew it was my last time sitting and playing together with jiahui and xintian, so i wasnt that nervous. yeah, some part of me wanted it to end, some part of me just wanted mr ng to keep stopping and restarting like during rehearsals..

we played through, we blew hard, and at the danse boheme movement i was already dreading the end (and presto was crazy), but we ended off well :) the last note was like bang, thats the end.

played stand by me after that, and i only knew abit so i just tried to follow. played twice, and during the melodies we stood and i was the slow one who kept sitting and standing after them hahaha. but it was fun, and yeah just happy i got to spend a wonderful night with my dear seniors, squadmates :D

to the year fours stepping down, just wanna thank you for all you've done for us. we will miss all of you ): jiahui and xintian, thanks for being great seniors and hope you liked the cards yeah.. band wouldnt be the same without you guys. ♥

it was a long but really fun day :D
i love DHSSB alotalot ♥
