Had band today too. Played the boring SYF pieces..'Singapore Rhapsody' and 'Panther Fire'. Sir kept asking us to play parts over and over again. My lips and my teeth are hurting, pressed my lips too hard on my mouthpiece. Shitloads! I really admire Sir's patience with our band. He never gives up on us no matter how badly we play. He's got the 'can-do' spirit towards everything and always tries to push us up to greater heights.
