You heard right. It was awesome! That means that I have 2 bands that won in 2 different places. I don't have the vids and pics yet but I'll put them up once I get them. Let me explain the details in the next paragraph.
First, I'll talk about my band that won 2nd. I was, actually, surprised that we came 2nd. The only song we practiced well was "That's What You Get" by Paramore. Then, we practiced the 2 other songs during family day. We only practiced the 2 songs with an acoustic guitar but we got it right(not that perfect but, at least, palatable). I was astonished about their achievement! It was totally awesome. I know that I was only a drummer in their band but I did many things just for them to be able to play.
They told me to be a drummer. 2 days before Family Day. Family Day was on a Sunday! That night, I listened to their chosen songs and learned them. Since I know how to play 3 instruments, it was a no-brainer for me. The next day, I practiced with my other band, which I will talk about later, before I practiced with my second band. We practiced around 4 p.m then ended up at 6:30 p.m . At first, the rythm guitarist and bassist had some problems because
they didn't get some parts of the song but I tought them and it went alright. They got the song before the practice session ended. We jammed the 2 other songs with an acoustic guitar. Then, the day came. They, unexpectedly, did well.
We played:
1. Tropical Depression - Kapayapaan
2. Jingle Bell Rock
3. Paramore - That's What You Get
Second, I'll talk about my main band. The one that came first. They're the most awesome friends ever. We got the songs right with no problems. Only with the bassist. E.R was the bassist in both bands. Main point is that he doesn't understand chords or notes. He just knows where to put his fingers. I had to work a little bit harder on him. Good thing though that he was a fast learner. We had some funny experiences in our practice sessions.
We played:
1. Rivermaya - Liwanag sa Dilim
2. Orange and Lemons - Tuloy tuloy pa rin ang Pasko
3. Maroon 5 - This Love
Things related to this post that I still remember:
# Tope messed up in one of our practice sessions. We were singing I'm Yours by Jason Mraz then after the "Love love love love love" part, he sang the chorus of "You'll Always Be My Baby" by David Cook. It turned out like: Love love love love love... You'll always be a part of me *break* *laugh*
#Rockhouse charges P 130/hr while the one in Airport charges P 230. Though the place in Airport has an airconditioner, it's still pretty disturbing.
#I really need to need to teach E.R how to read chords.
#I have to stop John Paul from putting too much guitar licks in songs.
#Fnghxv smiled when I looked at her in the place at Airport. I felt something there. Still feel it when I remember that moment. DAMN!!!
#There is no #6
#Nevfn said to me, "Rakista ka guid ya Ray ya.. forever." . Or something like that. She looked so shy. I could have hugged her. Instead, I just said thank you and touched her shoulder or vice versa. Damnit...
#I didn't have the chance to buy a grande Zagu after the performance. Felt really bad... 
#I messed up after the 1st chorus in "That's What You Get"
#This is my last Family Day Battle of the Bands in high school. 
#ebg13 vf njrfbzr!
#This is the twelvth reason. The 12th month is December. December is the last month. I guess, that means this is the end of this post.
