MiLoh BSGSSB Adventures

Stand up and Partaayyyy!!!!

"Deep Purple Medley."said Diya,flipping through her scores. Yokie gulped and looked sideways at Jo,Yang,Rathi and Xuan. All of them looked paranoid. "I hope y'all remember the gimmicks. Did you watch the video i told y'all to watch last week?"said Diya,and the Band nodded and replied simultaneously and obediently,"Yes."

Yokie remembered all the noise Xuan had made when they were listening to it in school with Tetra,Rocky and some other juniors. "Hush!! Rocky get your butt here and come watch this stuff with us!"hissed Jo. Everyone was crowded around Yang's phone,which was put to maximum volume. Diya had instructed them to watch Deep Purple Medley being played by a Japanese Band,and observe the gimmicks as they would have to learn it. But it was simply impossible.

"Woah! What is this!" "They sound so nice!" "Omigod yeah-WAIT WHAT ARE THEY DOING THEY'RE SWINGING THE INSTRUMENTS AROUND WHILE PLAYING" the juniors whispered among themselves excitedly. Japanese Bands sounded really good in everything they played,and this was no exception. "Wait this is not happening,"said Xuan in disbelief. "How are we supposed to STAND and PLAY and wave the bloody instrument around?!?! We're TUBAS for Merlin's sake!!! And their tubas are smaller than ours!!"she complained loudly. Some of the juniors turned around and hushed her up. Xuan could be excessively loud sometimes. The saxophones had a lot to memorise,and a lot to do. "Wait,what?! How do we-"said the saxophone junior in shock. The saxophones were dancing as they played their solos,their legs moving about to the beat stylishly.

The french horns were even better. They played,then did those wave movements that require more than at least 3 people before sitting back down. They were awed,but convinced they could not do the same. "They're so in sync,"said Rathi in admiration as the Double Basses spun their instruments around before continuing to play. Every section had the same movements as the others,and the whole performance looked stunning,and was probably even more enjoyable for the people who were watching it live that day. What made Xuan wail even more was when the tubas put one leg on their chair and played as usual. "I probably will trip on my base stand,"she remarked,trying to imagine what it would be like. She was also convinced she would kill the people around her when she was supposed to wave the instrument around,especially the saxophone in front of her and Yang,who was right beside her. "Don't kill me,Xuan,"she said in a bored tone,looking up from her phone. "My life is still too *******ing short(VULGARITIES YANG I SHALL NOT ALLOW IT)"

"1,2,3,4,"Diya counted off. The trumpets sprung from their seats and gave a strong starting to the song as the tubas and double basses tried not to sound out of tune with the extremely low G they had to play. Xuan could feel her air running out fast,yet was not allowed to breathe every bar for it would make her slow down and feel tired. Everyone stood up,and Diya burst out laughing as they tried to mimic the Japanese Band,only to clash their instruments against each other clumsily. The whole Band erupted in chuckles. It felt nice to laugh as a Band,as a family of Brass and Woodwinds. "Alright alright,skip the swinging part and just stand up and play,"said Diya,wiping away her tears. "I should have videoed it,y'all looked so funny!" Everyone blushed,and started again.
