today i performed with brandon byran and eric
We had been trying to find a song for a while until i realised there was only 3 days left until the final year assembly. so i picked an easy song - bruno mars - count on me
i showed bryan and he says he didnt mind.. but then when he found out we had to perform on wednesday, he said it was impossible.
i texted eric, and he also said it'd be impossible.
so no point bringing it up to eric.
i was kinda sad how we would never be able to perform together until...
later that sunday night, bryan tells me that he learnt the song and said it was pretty easy ! I was amazed and excited! i knew bryan had the talent and that the song would be simple for him. he told me that i could hear him play tomorrow.
I told eric about it and he said we'll see what happens
then on my way to math, i bumped into brandon and he says 'we got a song yet?' > i was kinda surprised that he said it so normally, like we had plenty of time still. I quickly let him listen to the song and he said it was easy and that it'll take him a day to learn it. I had totaly confidence in brandon as he is pro at piano as bryan and eric is pro with guitar.
So we planned to practice during recess and lunch but stuff came up so we couldnt. so i just told everyone to learn their parts and we would practice on TUESDAY, one day before the performance.
Tuesday > english workshops > dance studio and hall was taken (they had pianos) and music room was all booked out. the only thing we could do was borrow a guitar from music room for bryan and eric had his own and we went to the DT room to practice. Brandon pretended to play on his air piano :L.
Bryan could play me the whole thing in one go, no mistakes or anything! it made things seem very possible.
however we couldnt exactly sort out eric's bit... he said that if he couldnt figure out what to play, he'll just not play.. i didn't want that, i wanted us to all play. plus he was the one to start the idea of a 'band'
later that night, i asked eric if he would be joining us. he said he was ! that he figured it all outttt...! so i told everyone to come to school by 8:30 and we would practice together for 10 mins before the bell :L
wednesday>> performance day, today
brandon was already at school as he had morning class and i told him to meet me at music room. no sign of bryan or eric but texted them.
so me and brando practised first we got it perfect by the 2nd try.
brandon then spotted bryan and dragged him over. 1st go was perfect til the end where we forgot where to stop
2nd go> perfect !
after a few runs, eric pops in.
1st go with everyone > perfect .. thank god !
everything really worked out in the end :)
the only issue with performing on the day was the technical difficulties..
oh i sang one word wrong and i started too fast in one part.. but luckily bryan was still playing according to my voice X_X REASSURANCE !
everytime i looked over to them playing, i knew i had nothing to worry about :) and thats what you really need when performing !
so sum up. today was an awesome day.
so lucky have them performing with me, so thankful !
always wanted to perform with bryan since year 9 or so, and finally got the chance :)
friends. you need them.
