First of all, Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Wishing all of you good health, fortune and prosperity for the year ahead! Brass band concert yesterday went well. Congratulations to everyone especially Hide! He played well for the Gregson and impressed everyone with his encore piece. He really inspired me musically and of course technically.

Washed my instrument today. Valves and slide are now moving smoothly and quickly as how I like it. Hopefully I can get some good practice out of this long break of five days. I do need to catch up on my aural too because I really struggled during the last lesson.

My next performance will be with the NAFA wind band. Details are on the left. Well, that's all I have to say. Good night everyone!
