THE ROCK

RECORD

           Finally, after two hours of rehearsal with my song and David's song, the studio keeper came in and said "Time's up bro."

            I then turned to the three of them and said "We're just adding practice, okay recording."

           Andi and Roy and David nodded and then I said to the studio guard"we add another three hours, sir, is there a recording for bands like us?"

           The studio guard then said "Yes, sir, do you want to record too?"

           "Wow, that's good, sir." I said and was greeted with happy smiles from my three friends.

           "Wait a minute, I'll prepare first." The studio keeper then left us to take recording equipment and prepare everything by entering with recording equipment. We then continued to practice with a song that was made by me and the work of David that had been arranged together. Not long after, the studio keeper said, "It's ready, sir."

            "It's ready to record, that means it's okay, bro..." We took our respective positions and formations and started singing along with the songs and rhythms of our arrangements. After the two songs finished we played we tried to play the recording but

           " Man, how come this can't be played, how do I play the song?" I said

           The studio guard saw and said "Oops, boys, it's only right that it can't be turned on, right." The studio guard said and we just said "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA."

            Finally we started recording again with two songs by our band for the second time. After that we listened to the recording and David started to say "I think in this section we still need to improve the arrangement, how can we make it better?" Si David said as he wiped his glasses which were starting to fog up.

           "Okay, ready, friends." Finally the four of us started recording again for the third time. After repeating myself I started to drink water, I think my throat started to scream because it had dried up like the hearts of singles who dried up because they were alone.

         "Wow, that's even better." Said Andi then.

         "It's not wrong because our band has the master piece." I replied patting the shoulder of the David who was taller than my head so I needed effort to do it.

         David just smiled and started to say to the owner of the studio who came back in and before he opened his mouth, David cut him off, "I'm sorry if we take this recording, it's okay."

          The studio guard then said, "Yes, sir, but it's better if you take it tomorrow if you want good results, I can make the sound clearer than when it was recorded."

         The four of us looked at each other and said in unison "I agree." and then the studio owner said again "The time is running out, what do you want to add?"

       I started to reply, "Wow, never mind, my throat has started to dry out, my vocal cords are like a rat stuck in a door." This was followed by laughter from my three friends.

       Finally the next day after returning from campus the four of us headed to the studio yesterday.

      "This is mas try to listen to." The studio guard then invited us to listen to our band's recordings.

      "Wow, more solid." I said then.

       Finally, after going to the studio, we gathered at my boarding house and started sending our recording files to the jury.

     "How has it been sent yet." Said Andi while sipping my hot black coffee and then because of the heat sprayed my hair until it was soaking wet.

       "It's okay to ask, but don't spray people's heads too." I said looking at Andi

       "Sorry sorry you made hot coffee right." Said the Andi.

      "Because I want you don't let you drink." I said then while sipping the coffee and it was still hot until I accidentally vomited it on Roy's laptop.

        "You're really dirty, my favorite laptop." Si Roy while cleaning his laptop.

       " Sorry Sorry." I said which was followed by laughter from Andi and David.

      "Did I say." Said Andi then and finally, after filling in the band's biodata, song lyrics, chord keys, explanation of the song and explanation of the band, we started uploading our songs.

       "So slow today Sour." I said then.

       " Be patient." Si Andi while patting my broad forehead.

       And suddenly the upload has been successful then just send verification. Before I clicked the send button I said to them "It's fixed, do you need to add more, don't subtract, but, is this enough? I said as I looked at the three of them.

      "It's fixed, just like that, it's done, it's complete." Andi answered and followed by Roy and David's nod and then I started clicking the send button and the process was successful behind the screen it says that the data and files have been sent, please wait for the announcement which will be made a week later.

       I read it and my friends also read it and then Andi said, "Hopefully, our hard work will pay off next week and the results will be satisfactory and as expected."

      Me,  Roy and  David turned to Andi and started patting each other's shoulders and smiling together.

     "Hope will always be there for those who struggle because the road will not close for those who work hard except for one road that can be closed because of an invitation event." I said followed by laughter.
