BAOC. And Band Comp.

XMEN OEI!

Haha, yes Friday marked the end of BAOC'2008. BBB never did make an appearance after the second day because he brought the box home with him and never did bring it back again. Therefore, I do not have anymore pictures of B-Boy Ben. :D

*Imagines him saying "I KEEL YOU!" *

So, Friday's BAOC programme was spent in the Convention Centre watching the pageant, the performances, etc etc. XMEN won the "Best Cheers"! That's really great, our hard work did pay off in the end! :D After BAOC, loads of us stayed back to take pictures, then went to Al-Azhar for dinner. Clare and I didn't eat with them, and went off the BTSC to look for Boon Thai and En Kai. But by the time we found them, they were already done with pool and were heading home. So we went our separate ways!

Yesterday, many of us alumni and band members went home utterly disappointed. We agreed unanimously that the judges don't know how to judge. It's like, WTF?! The B band, with that lousy performance of theirs and music that cannot be heard, can get a friggin' GOLD?! The only thing that helped them to stand out is that fugly kungfu fighters uniform of theirs. Those uniform help them to stand out, in a negative way. As for the T band, Gold with Honours?! Oh well, they should have gotten at the very most a gold. Their standards dropped way too much this year, and GOLD WITH HONOURS. Hahaha, what a joke.

As for DEYI BAND. WOW, their performance rocked like $%$^%$&%^. They deserved that Gold with Honours and the Best Drum-major award! They were fantastic and the T band was beaten by DEYI to get the best band. CONGRATULATIONS! :D

I feel that it is damn insulting to BP and West Spring band to have gotten a silver, which is on par with the O band. The O band didn't even have a drum-major, and their performance was not very good probably because they were new to the MB scene. I would just want to say, what a waste having judges all the way from Netherlands, Thailand and Canada who cannot even judge properly. Just because the T and B bands have a history of getting Gold with Honours or Best Band, it doesn't mean that their performances will always be as good.

All the hard work and high hopes by the band members answered with a tight slap in the face by the judges and the T, B bands. Thanks to the B band for a performance where we could not hear the music and, your kungfu costume this year was really funny. Thanks to the T band for a performance which got us smirking because your standards reached the pits this year and Thanks to the judges for making really "informed" decisions and deciding on wonderful results for those who do not deserve it. :)
