This photo was taken at the back of the band room where all the percussion instruments are. As you can see, the picture focuses on the snare drum which is one of the first percussion instrument I have learnt. The reason I joined percussion is that one of my front teeth was half chipped of and a mould was crafted and put there instead and I was afraid that if I played a brass or woodwind instrument, it would affect my tooth. Percussion consists of instruments like the drumset, timpani and mallets but currently I have only learnt the snare drum and mallets and I am not too good at playing them either, thats the reason why I have not moved on to the timpani and drumset. A few days ago, a DSA student entered percussion and although his skills were not that good, the seniors say that he has lots of potential and if every thing goes well he could be better than us and there would be an imbalance in the hireichy. That is why I am working very hard right now but homework is obstructing my way. Only now have I realised that I should have worked hard when I was in sec 1. I feel that this has a connection to mr lows speech on the graduating batch of sec 4 on friday. At least I have learnt that I should work hard right from the beggining to the end. Although things seem bad I believe that it is never too late to work hard as working hard now would be better than working hard later . I hope it is not to late...... but anyway no matter what happens, I will always love percussion!
