Why Jia Rong loves MPYO

why? why? why??

Because I simply just love it.

Is it because of the music? Or the people in it ?? Or breaking rules in camp?? or staying up all night??
Lolx. its everything. in and out of MPYO. I just love it.

I can still remember the very first weekend rehearsal in DFP on the 16^th of September 2006. When everyone has their ass stuck on their sit, instruments under their fingers, sight reading their scores, but still the music that came out of it, was good. Playing a same piece together, having the same rhythm going on in your heart, our eyes all fixed on the conductor (maybe mostly on the scores XD), having a same feeling towards the piece and that was all the thrill of playing in an orchestra.. Especially, playing in MPYO.

Oh yea. Always switch off or silent your phone during rehearsal.

Remember guys??

If I’m not wrong it’s the second day of rehearsal, when everyone was playing “danse bacchanale” and was just about to start.. Kevin already had his hands up in the “get ready” position, violins are all up, under the chin, woodwinds and brass have their instruments ready too!.. When..

*DORAEMON RINGTONE*

WAKAKAKAKKAKAKAKAKA. The whole orchestra burst into laughter.

That’s one of our unforgettable scenes...

Also, some of the morning when you just got up from bed after only a few hours of sleep and Kevin asked us to do some body warm up / exercise.

*imitates Kevin*

“Stand up, put down your instruments”

“Okay! Give your right hand a shake! Then the left hand and… BOTH hands! “

“turn clockwise your index finger, we just go round and round, next add in a little of your wrist, then the whole arm, and 1,2, 1,2, ,1,2,.”

“Good! Good!”

Next we have a little “humming up the scales” thing.

*everybody goes humm……*

*hmmmmmmm*

*hmmmmmmm*

*hmmmmmmm*

*hmmmmmmmm*

just as everyone was about to fall asleep after a long while of humming and just moving up the scales.. you’ll get

*AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

yeah. That’s from our dearest conductor, screaming right in your face.. =)

Not missing out, the orchestra’s alive because of the people in it .There’s all sort of people in the orchestra, there’s the Sweet looking ones ,Hot girls, The crazy/ mean/ fun/ gay concertmaster, A very vain violinist who would check his own refection on anything he can find ,The king of gambling, people who talks non-stop, people with uncommon names, tutors that curse most of the time or tutors that’s really lame… lolx. Oh yeah. And TRIBAL~~ the staying up all night, truth or dare games, gambling, bitching, McD, jumping in the swimming pool, everyone cramp in a bed , the sex talks and so on. XD

Mpyo has given me the chance to play with so many good , talented players , it also brings all the lovely things to me. I will never ever in my whole life forget the experience I’ve got in MPYO. And I’ll definitely not forget every single person in the orchestra and TRIBAL!! Love you all and miss you all really much!!!!!!!!
