Over the last year, I have experienced a lot of band performances, both with my usual Aileen and the Green Tea Latte band and also a newly formed band. The first performance that I would like to note about is the performance at the 2512 Christmas Gala. At that time it was the first major performance that my band did in that semester. This time it is also different. No more tiny stages. This time it is a full stage performing to both Cita Hati students and teachers and also people from the public (including my parents too). The challenge in this one was that I have to focus on both the treasure hunt and this performance as well. I have to (of course) practice for the songs played. Unfortunately, I personally felt that it did not go as well as I thought due to the lack of practice and also how I forgot my line. At that time, I told to myself that I will do better in the next performance.
[Sudden flashforward]. It is now February and Cita Hati wants to celebrate it's 25th birthday in an epic carnival, similar to what 2512 was like. This performance has a twist in it. I was not in 1 band but 2 bands. The other one requiring myself to play the bass, an instrument I have never learnt officially nor performed on stage. It is a new challenge and something fresh. It went better than expected for my band but a bit rigid for the other band (Pollution/Green Fix CAP band).
[Another sudden flashforward]. Around another month after the events of Cita Hati's 25th Anniversary was the color run. It was in accordance to Cita Hati's birthday as well but was put on a different date and the venue was in Cita Hati West. Similar to the events of 2512, I was performing for 1 band only, the Green Fix band. The challenge here was I had to learn a song in just 1 night. Ko Harman, the day before the event said that the band should perform 1 more song and I had to play the bass line. Knowing that I do not have a bass at home, I had to learn the song from Ko Harman through Line video call with an acoustic guitar (at that time I accidentally left my guitar at school). The performance went on okay, did some mistakes here and there but I can feel that I have improved with using the bass on stage. I hope that I can further improve by playing more performances in public.
Here is also a music related award that I received during my 10th grade experience:
