Chapter 1537 - 1036: Plan
Standing on the second-floor spectator seats, watching the Wind Band Club members below crying in despair, Duanmu Huai said nothing.
The wind band competition is unlike soccer or basketball, where there are group stages, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals. The selected schools gather together, perform within a day, and then the national competition is over.
After all, this is a music competition, and each county only has three representative schools, with one school performing two pieces. It all ends within a day.
Honestly, it doesn’t really feel tense. If it were like soccer or basketball, there might be some real sense of competing in the nationals. But for wind band competitions, getting qualified for the nationals and then directly going to the finals, Duanmu Huai found it a bit hard to adapt.
Of course, the final result of the Wind Band Club was — the silver award.
Well, it was not beyond Duanmu Huai’s expectations.
According to the judges’ comments, the piece chosen by Mary and Kousaka Rina for their ensemble was outstanding and received high praise. However, the problem lay in the assigned piece — after all, the chosen piece can showcase the trump card of the Wind Band Club, but the assigned piece requires considering the overall strength of the entire wind band.
In this regard, the Wind Band Club lacked experience and the weakness of inadequate strength was exposed.
This is like a competition between two soccer teams; our Wind Band Club is like a team where the two frontrunners are international superstar level, but all the other players are of domestic standard. Facing a brilliant team where everyone from the striker to the goalkeeper is a star, the Milky Way Warship, of course, football is round, you can’t say until the last moment. But music relies on talent and strength, the upper limit of the Wind Band Club is set here, competing with those stronger school bands is obviously impossible.
After all, performers from those schools are stronger and more talented — the more famous the school, the more likely it attracts talented students. Given that our school’s Wind Band Club was not well-known before, how could we expect to win the national championship?
Even Shonan, once in the national competition for the first time, was quickly eliminated.
