Chapter 17:Big News

Rocky's POV
Dear Diary
OMG YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT AUNTY DIYA JUST SAID DURING BAND. IT WAS AMAZING I FEEL LIKE TYPING IN CAPITALS ALL THE WAY BUT FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUR EYES I WILL WRITE IN LOWER CASE. So this is what happened.

So,during Band,the alumni and normal seniors were coaching us as usual. I noticed that Aunty Xuan was a lot more fidgety than usual. When we were having combine and warming up with scales and everything,(percussion doesn't do scales so we were just doing stuff.)Aunty Diya raised her hand and everyone instantly went silent. She sighed and looked at Aunty Xuan,who looked like she was gonna wet her pants with excitement. "Right,i got news for y'all but i'll let Xuan tell it since she can convey it much more enthusiasm than me. She'll probably explode if she doesn't say anything so yeh."

Aunty Xuan put Dahao down excitedly and went to the front,and Aunty Diya sighed and rolled her eyes and sat down. "Kayzz!! So! Guess what event is coming soon?!" Everybody was tired after an exhausting day of school,nobody ever had the same energy level as Aunty Xuan by 4.30. In fact,her job seems the most boring but she's still so hyper every other day. How the heck does she do that,i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who thinks that.

"Come on!!! No one?!?! Show me a bit more ENTHU YEEEEHHH!!!!!!"she said. Aunty Rathi heaved a big sigh. "Xuan my friend,can you just get to the point? You should know that no one's as high as you at this time of the day." Aunty Xuan looked a bit crestfallen,but didn't hesitate to bring her energy back. "Iiiittttt'sssssss-drumroll please" I gladly did a brief drumroll on the snare drum. "OPEN HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

An excited whisper fell on the band. The alumni groaned although they still smiled,and the juniors and seniors whispered excitedly among each other. "I'm pretty sure all the alumni know what this is! This is basically a showcase of CCAs and other things in the school. This event was made up by our then vice principal,who was really hyped up as well. This year,our principal Ms Ong wants to relive this moment. She also wants to take this opportunity to promote the band." More excited whispers filled the room and i took this opportunity to sneak over to Tetra.

"So,as our CCA is obviously a Performing Arts CCA,we are going to have a performance. This performance will consist of all 5 Performing Arts in our school:String Ensemble,Dance,Choir,Drama and Band."she continued. "The venue and everything hasn't been confirmed,but Ms Ong definitely wants us to participate. What's more,she said herself that we must do a good job." Aunty Yokie looked really nervous and Aunty Jo looked like she was going to faint. "Of course,as your extremely passionate and hyped up Band alumni senior(author's note:makes me think of Asuka from Hibike Euphonium:")  ),i obviously want our CCA performance to be the best. Because nothing should ever beat our Band!" I let out a single excited whoop that caused everyone to giggle. "Yes very good Rocky!!"she said,beaming at me.

"I have a question,2 questions actually,"said one girl from french horn section suddenly. "Yes my dear?" "Firstly,what songs are we playing,and why does the principal want us to do well? Like why us specifically?" "Thank you for that question. First of all,the songs will be for Diy-i mean Ms Diya to decide. Secondly,"and she smiled,"the principal was from the Band."

Everyone gasped and only the Band Gang Aunties smiled. Of course,Tetra and I knew already,but it still felt a bit weird yet honourable to know that the principal was in your CCA. "So yes,she wants us to do well. Right,Diy-i mean MS Diya! Are you going to choose the songs for them first?"she asked,turning around goodnaturedly. Aunty Diya smirked. "I know y'all are all excited but we haven't even started on Sousa yet. Anyway we still have a lot of time so let's put Open House aside first. JBC Page 15!" Everyone groaned.

After Band,Tetra and I decided to wait for Uncle MiLoh and Dad to finish their stuff before going home together. The Band Gang Aunties were outside the staffroom already. "Ah,Rocky and Tetra! You waiting for your dads eh?"said Aunty Diya. "Yes,"replied Tetra."What are you doing here though?" "We wanted discuss some stuff with your dads about the Open House."said Aunty Yokie. I was surprised. Were our dads involved too? "The first time i saw MiLoh being involved in Open House was him at some booth for some science-y thing."said Aunty Xuan,wrinkling her nose. "Looks downright boring if you ask me." "We wanna ask them if they would be free to help us with promoting the Band. However,we might let your dad go because he's just way too stony. Not good for promotion." I smirked. Yeah,i didn't think Dad would be a good promoter for the Band. "Ask my dad to buy free milo for the people"said Tetra,giggling. At that moment,both dads came out of the staffroom,waving goodbye to one of their colleagues who was probably an Upper Sec teacher. "Ey y'all!! What goes on?"asked Uncle MiLoh cheerfully. Tetra looked at me. "We have a lot to tell you."she said.
