Friday = Racial Harmony Day. Friday also = Battle of the Bands 2008. Racial Harmony Day = ... What. Only 1 period used to 'celebrate' it. Why I say 'celebrate' is because we didn't really celebrate it. No extra recess, no concerts, no nothing, not like in primary school. Instead, we had a talk on the importance of racial harmony. Giving credit where it's due, the speaker was entertaining. So that's it. As for Battle of the Bands. It was great, except for the part where I got late because I missed the bus because I was too lazy to leave the house 4 minutes earlier. DAM! I knew my school's participating band couldn't win, they screwed up a bit in both performances. Singer too soft, guitar too soft, drums too loud. That's what I think anyway. But ACS(Barker) could have been more gentlemanly about it. Cheering every opportunity they get isn't exactly good sportsmanship. Not picking a fight with you guys when you jeered was good sportsmanship. I must say, the winner of the contest absolutely deserved it. They could rock, they could be soft, they were definitely the best band there. The only sad part was that I couldn't catch their name. Fire Away Sampson? Or was it Fireway Sampson? I don't know. Oh well. I loved their acoustic performance, wonderful. Finally, their prize presentation could have been much better. Although we couldn't win for sure, the could have presented the prizes in a better fashion. There was no 3rd/4th/5th, only 1st, 2nd and 3 consolations. But they announced it in such a way that they had ACS(barker), ACS(Independent) and ACS(International) left standing on the stage after sending us and HCI off with consolations. Obviously that part showed a lot of bias. Just trying to show that ACS was better and all that, not exactly giving us grace. Oh well. Holy great wall of text. Did I really type that?
