Music Club

I've been talking so much about Rugby, I forgot to mention my second CCA, music.

At first I find it kinda boring (maybe it's because I missed the introduction and the last meeting, and I had to cut my time in school because Zani's CCA hasn't started yet). I nearly dropped Music to focus more on Rugby, then there was the Audition.

The audition is long awaited to choose out the number of people to become School Band Members and the Commitee. I wanted to give a try on it (bringing the DIME-O-FLAGE guitar in mind. *Laughs like an evil villain*) but I had to meet the President personally. Sure I was afraid, I mean, I left out alot so.. dunno.. maybe a feeling a little blacklisted?
So there he was in the canteen, and if I didn't ask him then I'll definitely drop Music.

*echo* Mr Stuart: "You have to keep pushing" *echo*

So I did. and found out he liked talking to guitar geeks (erk..) and was impressed with my knowledge in guitars (more impressed when I mentioned the DEAN). So I got in, and last Saturday, with my Dean in hand, I came for the auditions (seems he also signed me up for the commitee, w/out my knowledgee. So I got into the interview and asked for the position of Planner. The dudes that create the ideas.)

I expected worst. One of the cables didn't work, so I couldn't use the distortion pedal.
1 out of 2 cables = No pedal = no Azzi's extra crispy, pinch harmonic screaming guitar sound.

I freaked out, and all I can do is to use directly to the amp and the sound was good enough (I can only use the low pinch harmonic, so imagine the look in everyone's faces when they heard it).
yeah, the Harmonics master the Shred master Qawi calls me.

I got in the room, connected the Dean to the President's Marshall amp (and the sound was good! I wanted to bring along my cable and effects pedal but the President won't allow it) and then play Cowboys from Hell by Pantera, one of my favourite speedy songs.

The results were on today. I went to the music club room only to be greeted by the President (I expected the room to be empty and the results to be posted on the board), so there we sat down and discussed about my results.

He asks, "So do you think you did well?" I became nervous and felt a little doubt, but my mom's wisdom says 'In interviews, you must always talk about your good side'.
So I said, "I'm confident that I did well enough"
Then he gives me his answer, "Congratulations, you are officially a School Band member".

*shock*

I didn't know if impressed the judges with my playing or is it my Dime-o-Flage. Anyway, this one kept me going for music. Looks like my passion for music has gone up again!

Highlights of Audition day:
-Me going crazy on Qawi's acoustic. Playing loud Texas-like sound.
-My guitar
-The President's Fender Stratocaster, and his Yngwie Malmsteen speed! *WTH*
-Me playing 'Tears in Heaven', everyone singing along.
-Me telling them about the music you can play with the guitar.
-A dude that plays Trivium.. fast!
-A number of dudes who play Senjakala. HoooWeee.

BTW, did I mention the president's uncle is Man Kidal? The malaysian guitar legend who plays lefthanded for the band, LEFTHANDED. If you listen to Lefthanded, keep track with malaysian artist, heard of some dude who plays his guitar upside down, watch AF2 and see him shred with Sham Kamikaze; you'd know.
