Since the spring break has come to the end, I have been quite busy with work and research stuff.
Work, not too much, but each homework is quite time consuming... So i have only done 2 HWs but it has taken me probably total of 12 hours or so and i still havent finished yet... Stupid Catalyst...
But anyway, at the concert band rehearsal today, as our usual conductor couldnt not make it, we had a conductor from the symphonic band (best concert band in Purdue), he is also a band director of the whole music department.
It was actually my first time getting a rehearsal from him. What a difference that he made to our sound! no wonder why he is conducting the symphonic band. He was just fantastic.
He does not stop us playing a piece every 2 bars like our conductor does, yet he still makes sufficient comments to improve the music and our sound quality while we are playing.
his advices were very constructive, it made so much sense to me. he works as a whole ensemble where as our conductor works on the little detail in the rehearsal. I guess both way is good, but in my opinion the little details are for us to learn provately when we get back home (notes and so on) and in rehearsals we should learn how to play as a whole ensemble... so yeah the 2 hours flew by like it was about 5 seconds. i really enjoyed it.

Also, the other news for Boilers is: BASKETBALL!!!!!
the girls and boys teams are on a tournament called NCAA. so its pretty much a championship for all the college basketball teams throughout US.
Both teams made to Sweet 16!!!! I am so excited. I think the boy's play tonight against Connecticut. Its meant to be a tough game against us, but we will make it! To make it to sweet 16, girls beat North Carolina, which is meant to be one of the best universities for Women's basketball. they beat them!!!!!! they have been losing against them for past 4 years and last time they won against UNC, they won the national championship! maybe this year they might..... WOOHOOO!! I will be so excited for them :D :D
but anyways, i shall go eat something I am starving.
BTFU
