Hi members.
I hope after reading this post, you all are clear of what to do and don't come for practices just for the sake of attendance.

The band is taking part in the SIBF. And by the look of our standard, you know the result.
Mistakes that are pointed out during combined band are always being made repeatedly. I've really no idea why.

All of you are supposed to do your own score-study at home! I should not be always sending messages to keep reminding you all to do your score-study. It's your job to do so. Thus, through this, it reveals that you've no self-initiative.

For the sec1s, I believe you all can do much more better than what you're doing right now.
Actually, I do not really see any hard works being put in by you guys.
I've to repeat the same fundamental problems again & again. Why?
Since you know that's where you're weak in, why not do your own self-practice at home?

Reminder: SIBF is seriously round the corner. We've only a few months before it arrived.
I sincerely hope all of you will really do your score-study at home.

We'll be playing Eagle Bend for SIBF. Hence, I believe you all know what to do next.
Follow the 10 steps to score-study, as what MsTan taught during Band camp.
I believe it's still in your mind right now. If not, you'd better be doing something.

Not only that, you've to do your score-study on the following songs:
EAGLE BEND
POSTCARD FROM SINGAPORE
STUDIO GHIBLI ANIME MEDLEY
FANFARE OF THE WAKAKUSA HILL

For FANFARE OF THE WAKAKUSA HILL, you're to get that piece memorised.
There'll be audition for this!!

Lastly, everyone have to prepare your state of mind. You're to have the competition-ready state of thinking. This means that, at anytime, no matter what, you're forever ready for competitons. Fearless.
Yes, sososososo, I know you know that you'll definitely be able to conquer this.

I trust every single one of you that you're able to be independent by doing score-study/self-training at home.

Dare to make mistakes, because
Mistakes show us what needs improving. Without mistakes, how would we know what we had to work on?

So what are you waiting for? Just do it!
Every single one of you makes a difference to the band sound.
There's really Improvements made in some areas already, keep going! Always strive towards the besttt!
:D

Tell me after you've read & understand this post like reflection on this post etc. } Tagboard

I just want to wake you all up from what you're doing.
Not a scolding session, but more of words to movtivate and update on all this while what all of you're doing (:

Your SL.
P/S: Huzairi , Shawn passed me your $5!!! :D

Plans on Section Outing

2009-11-13T14:51:00.002+08:00

Trombones! I'm back again.

Hello! :D

I'm here again, to give some reminders. Please do take note and treat it seriously, I'm not posting for fun alright.

On this Thursday, 17 Sept 2009, each and everyone of your individual file will be sent for checking! Yes, that's it! We haven't had our individual file since I don't know when. I mean for some of them in the section *point *point
And everytime we'll be sharing scores tearing out and throwing everywhere, in the end, it goes missing. Yeap, that's the scores problem with the section during combined band!

Now for the things to be inside your individual file :
! Eighties Flashback
! Folk Song Suite (James's Favorite)
! Lets' Swing
! Nothingham Sketches (Shawn's favorite)
! Pasadena
! Pavane in Blue

Get all these scores inside your individual file in alphabetical order!!!! Not forgetting the most important part, BAR NUMBERS! YES, BAR NUMBERS.
Haha. Please do put in some effort to go and get your individual file done alright!

Not only you won't get punished by the Library, having your individual file would be even more convenient! Killing 2 birds with one stone, haha.
Till now, for all I know ; James, Wanwen & Shawn haven't had their files pack. So ... Yeah, start your work!

Drill Audition for Wanwen and James this Thursday, 17.09.09. Take note! Other than that, I'm done! Do update when you read this, or not you'll be curse -.-
Put your name at the end of the post!

BYE. MUG HARD!

Hello Trombones! There's a few things to take note of.
Firstly, I cannot upload the pictures, because to me, there's a problem with blogger. Guess you guys have to wait awhile thn, sorry for that.

Auditions: I've yet to audi May & James.

Files: You should have all the scores with you everytime during band. Bar numbers should be written on. That's why we got punish.

Side Track/-: Edna lost the file that she used during combined band, did any of you see it? It shouldn't be missing.

Solo concert is arriving! Prepare yourself! And please sign your consent forms. It's your responsibility to do so, take it seriously.
Next, I believe you all either brought home your Mouthpiece or instruments, do practice alright. Don't waste your effort.

I think that's all for now, Strive on! (:
