first drill session i ever hated

Mr chua totally spoilt my mood again today.

there was combined drills today!
WITH INSTRUMENTS
but surprisingly, its the first time i hated drills.
uhuh, you heard it alright.
i hate today's drills.

i know its a abit naggy but,
IM SUPPOSED TO PLAY SNARE DRUM!
then you know lah what happened.

percussion stood to one side as instrcuted.
i carried the marching snare (can say) over my shoulders.
kenneth had the marching bass drum.
mr chua was teaching sery how to stop the band.
had to stop at some specific bar numbers.
as an example, he asked us(percussionists) to play a march drum solo.
i wasnt sure how .
like hello, i was never taught?
i only know the slow march,
and so i played it.
he got unhappy.
" i didnt ask you to play slow march!"
i was shivering.
"nooo, not again" i thought.

he came over, took my sticks
and played on my snare.
ive heard it before, but he hasnt taught ANY of us that solo before.
how am i supposed to know.
plus it was my first time hearing it being played, in our band.
kenneth was beside.
and he asked kenneth
"ah, kenneth you know right. come you play. easy."
like fuck, OF COURSE HE KNOWS!
he just watched him play?
if he could let me try again after he showed that example,
im pretty sure i could do it to ?

and so, since then.
we switched places and i played the bass drum.

my spine is aching,
after carrying that stupid big circular instrument
and marching with it.
its so difficult to watch where i was going.
hello?
