that's the new band in town.... at least in the town of Fuchun Primary School.
This amateur band comprises of Miss Azah (nervous on the piano), Mr Farid (looking cool with the microphone) and Mr James Wu (professionally strumming the guitar).. and there you go the AFJ band. Just a short history of this group, it was set up by default when the newbie teachers were arrowed to join in the dance item for the P6 Graduation Night.
Thinking of avoiding the dance item (since we are bad at it), one of the members suggested to the concert manager that he will grab some other colleagues to put up another item. And so he grabbed me along with Farid. But due to some miscommunication, the AFJ was dragged into the dance item as well.
Well back to the AFJ's debut performance.... we hit the chords to James Blunt's You're Beautiful. I was a nervious wreck! How not to! That was my first time ever performing on the piano live in front of such an audience! Sweaty palms and stiffed fingers..... but with the strong back up from the great guitarist and the cool-looking lead singer, I hope we didn't sound too bad.
I've been playing the videos of the gig as well as the dance item repeatedly and I'm still laughing watching them after the 100th time.
Someone still hasn't given me the green light to upload the videos on YouTube and the size of the clips are too huge to email to them.... so let me enjoy watching them myself for now.
Well I had lots of fun tonight. The dance item to the beats of GREASE was fun! Despite all the wrong moves, I guess all the teachers should be given a big round of applause of being so sporting! Now the pupils can see the other side of their stern teachers.
No teacher wishes to be fierce but if we were to go along with your rythm, then the class will surely turn upside down and don't you dream of doing well in your PSLE.
To the P6s, that was your graduation night.
Your 6 years of primary education has come to an end.
I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
The road ahead may not be smooth sailing but always have faith in yourself and never give up!
Treasure your school life. Studying is much better than working trust me.
Leave the school with no hard feelings towards your friends and teachers.
The teachers will miss you too....
