Me & Marching Band

These are some videos of me who play PIT in MBWG (Marching Band Waditra Ganesha) ITB
click the play button, enjoy, and find me ;D




I bet 90% of you failed to find me there, eumhaha I even still need an effort to guess where I am.

So, this is marching band, wikipedia said that a marching band is a group consisting of instrumental musicians performing outdoors for the purpose of entertainment, exercise, and sometimes in competition. Instrumentation typically includes brass, woodwinds, and percussion instruments. Most marching bands use some kind of uniform (often of a military style) that include the school or organization's name or symbol,shakos, pith helmets, feather plumes, gloves, and sometimes gauntlets, sashes, and/or capes. But what I know, marching band is all about discipline, trust, togetherness, and music. This is the place where we can play and apply our hobby while train our character. Yes discipline is a must for you who want to join, but if you don't have them, then don't ever think twice to try our practice! surely you will get the effect after a month, eumhahaha 

Marching band is so tough...... This what i thought first. Running, jumping, push up, sit up, standing under the-12-o'clock-sun, that's all my breakfast in practice time (which is almost everyday). I lost my holiday, I lost my quality time, I lost my beautiful face, I lost my white-skin, I LOST ALL OF MY IDENTITY (shut up, that's too much, dont be exessive). I got to meet many kind of people, most of them was so creepy. Too creepy to resist. I was like in the military training where they'll shoot me if I retreat D""": 

But I'm glad I was join this unit 2 years ago (actually I'm glad that I'm the PIT player so I don't have to do display)(yas too much alien words, i'll tell you later). Marching Band of Waditra Ganesha ITB. I thank to that-creepy-person who unexpected has practiced me about self-disipline, strengthen my mental, and grown up my muscle. Honestly, I'm getting more in love with the percussion skill that I've got, wait in a moment and I'm gonna be a master! (forget it)(that was a kidding)(sorry dear my real master). 

Now, this year is the third year I've been here. And I'm sure 2013 is the most memorable. It's not just because I got my marimba partner as my boyfie :p but I have spent almost a year together with my band for GPMB 2013 series, especially for my lovely line, PIT. We practice along, sleep, eat, laugh, play, sing, fight, argue, cry, yes try to understand each other was like we live together. I know that is unyu and pardon me if too lebay (caution, alien words), but that was all what i felt. That time was too precious, I really appreciate it. We tired and wanted to rescue, but we faced it together. 

Till came the time when our heart was broken, when we felt that everything was worthless, we cried in that room while people around was cheering. I still remember clearly that moment. Haha thank you for all the moment. We did lose, but victory is not everything. I never think a little regret to join this series. I got to learn a lot that I didn't know before. Maybe sometime we'll got that victory. thanks thanks thanks :*


NB (some explanation of that alien words you found before)
PIT : In a marching band or drum corps, the front ensemble or pit is the stationary percussion ensemble. This ensemble is typically placed in front of the football field, though some groups will work the front ensemble into a tight pod onto the marching field.
Display : a formation of player in field, except pit.
Unyu : :3
Lebay : exessive
