Flight of the piasa

Hey FLUBOES! Yay I shall post here since it's fluboes haha. Lalalala I love blogging. Now I officially have like five blogs. My own blog, batch blog, class blog, a combined blog with my friends and this blog! Yay! But most of them are dead anyway. But I shant let this blog get dead haha!

Okay since we have finalised our SYF piece, we should totally work on it right now! Yay! So let's hear different versions of flight and comment on it, and take all their good points into considerations! Yay! (I can't find Singapore flyer -.-)

This is a version of flight. It's nice, the brasses and basses are great, oh my god I love how the horns sound like, so brassy and strong! But I don't really think the woodwinds are that great. They're so soft and so gentle. But of course we (fluboes) will sound better than this right? xD Haha and I can't stand how slow the slow part is. Hmm. Different conductors got different interpretations :)

This another version of flight. I like the fast tempo! It's so exciting :D The sound quality isn't as good (it's videod, can't help it...) But towards the end, the fast tempo sounded a bit rushed... And when they slowed down, it seems so unnatural... Oh well, but it was exciting... when the oboe solo came, IT'S NOT THE OBOE! I was so upset, I thought they didn't have oboe, but later on, I heard the oboe. God the oboe must have been so lousy the conductor didn't let him play or sth. Damn it lah. And the saxophone solo sucks too... And their intonation sucks too. -.- But in our last recording, I think we sounded worse than this, so we can't really scold them till we get better. (And the trumpet sound so horrible when playing the high notes! Argh!)

Oh well, the first video was so much better right? Let us all learn from the first video :) The third video, so much better than the second:

Though I think the trombones sound awful...Haha our Tay is so much better lol. The flutes aren't really good either. The oboe a bit too loud too (and I can't stand how the video focus on the bassoon when the solo is played...argh!) but it's nice i think. (I believe I can do better than that humph!) The saxophone solo and euphonium solo were great too! But the band's intonation sucks. But we aren't much better...so can't complain...

But it's still kinda nice sooooo...

Okay hope you guys know what it is like to sound great/horrible. If you want to know, I think currently we sound worse than all of them. But I believe we can/will improve! :D Just listen to other bands, and critique them, then we will improve :)

yay!
