Due to the GCSE Retakes, just like the previous week, we started again at lunch again this week so I missed out on a hand full of lessons this morning, one in which as a much needed rehearsal, but I still have one to go in for alongside many other tasks…
I couldn’t get in until the end of lunch because my hot water wasn’t working and I needed a wash desperately, within this time I took the opportunity of sitting down and polishing and cleaning all of my guitars. I also went ahead and printed off various pieces of work so I can keep them in my big folder so I am well aware of where everything is if my computer fails me.
After this I soon got into college we were thrown into a rehearsal room so we were able to go through our set multiple times, after setting up before everyone I also went and handed in my completed proposal thing to Chris before everyone else as I am a huge dork when it comes to work.
We played through the whole of our set twice which seems to be the usual at the moment which is the flow I would always like to be in during rehearsal. I really do hope that I am kept within the same band for my second year, I have grown to love each and every member of my band, our playful banter and incredible work effort has led us to a point where I would have never seen myself as a female guitarist with little to no confidence…
Soon after rehearsal our singer had realised that she has not finished her proposal in full because she has had trouble managing her computer at home and the one she has to use within college. After Chris had looked through all of my work he decided that I should show my class mates what to do and point them in the right direction if they were a bit baffled in what to do!
I enjoyed doing this, fortunately I want to go into teaching music specifically at secondary level but I would not mind at college either because I love showing people what I know and passing that on to another. After I did this it was home time for me where I have copious guitar practice installed as I am not the best at remembering things in big, big chunks, hopefully I will pass but I am more focused upon my overall grade as I will be aiming for a distinction and then a distinction star next year.
Tomorrow I will be in college for 9am for rehearsal and more rehearsal on top of that, I shall see you all then!
