Omg yay I remember the password! :D

Hello hello how are you peeps? Me and XL came back about twice already.. and we're glad that everyone is getting along fine. Plus the new ppl who joined, our family is growing. And time passes so quickly, the Sec 4s have stepped down. Ok random.

Anyway you all have probably realised that we NEVER had a section outing before. Unless you count those "breakfast at macs" as one... but we never had a proper one! Like whole day together! And since the June hols are coming... I was thinking of having it. My batch + Di,Rach,Gret + the current main band batch. Dunno la. Try asking the juniors first? Just go cycling.. or play some sports. Ahma will definitely love it (ha ha ha ha).

I miss band and percussion. Treasure your time in band yeah. Seniors come and go quickly. Have fun while you can. And good luck for mid-years!!

Oh, and keep yourself free for Etude (June 7)! :D



- your old, and probably forgotten, Daddy

hey hey hey everybody!
band has stopped alrd, and i really hope you all practice! if not you will not be able to play when we come back.
when band starts, its only 2 months left to NBC!!
and we really want to get a gold right!
so better work hard ah, all of you!

but for now, concentrate on your mid years, do well and make me proud!

HI EVERYONE, ITS ME AGAIN! -.-

combine yesterday was just tuning, but i think shermaine improved alot, must be because of me right!

nothing to say, practice with metronome (sp?).

as everyone can see, i am trying very hard to keep this blog alive!
EVERYONE THANK ME AGAIN.
"thank you, the great keziah"
you're welcome!

okay, combines on thurs.
DO YOU ALL FEEL INSPIRED!
must learn to play like that japanese band okay!
i shall comment.

shermaine: MUST WATCH CONDUCTING AND COUNT!!! i know he was taking very fast the other day, but still, you cannot just like anyhowanyhow play, like come in wherever you think it is correct.
on the other hand, your solos are improving! keep up the good work.

joan: your variations improved quite alot the other day!! but you must always COUNT! and ANTICIPATE.
solos 6 onwards, not very good, practice. triplets sometimes uneven.

qihui: nothing much to say, you're very good alrd, but still must practice!

hongyi: sometimes lagging at allegro con brio (sp?), but now not muting the timpani, i guess its okay. your solo!! triplets going too fast, must follow conducting! and i am playing almost the same thing as you, when you hear me, just play the exact same speed!!! roll is improving, and i can see that you are working very hard to get your solo right, i am sure you can do it!

janice: sometimes some notes missing when you play the temple blocks, never aim properly is it!! but it was okay after playing afew times with that speed. and i know your part is really very difficult to play. so quite good alrd!!

i feel so mean commenting on everyone but not myself.

me: cannot play grace notes fast enough. not coming in on time at the last few pages (start of the "percussion" solo), always loose count there too. crash sometimes pop, cannot change in time from triangle to crash at 68 or from crash to triangle at 53, must move faster!

everyone: solos and chrochet (sp?) to semiquavers are finally together!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great job, sec ones more daring to ask permission to join in, and following rules, was quiet during combine too.
pack up timing always below 2 mins!
our record was 1 minute 18 seconds, lets try to beat that okay!

nothing to say alrd, bye.

HELLO SECTION!! it me, again.

anyway, had council investiture today, and i'm really really really really really proud of you all!
we took 15 minutes to move the timpanis, drumset, conga, bongo, snare and bass drum, tambourine, stands, files, sticks, vibes, xylophone, glock, crash etc up.
although the band helped us, but you all were moving really fast! :D
so yeah, KEEP IT UP!!

our playing was not bad either.

janice: your school song snare was okay! really! i didn't hear any mistakes. conga for stand by me was good too!

hongyi: your crash for postcard fanfare and school song is as good as gretchen's, seriously. and your mallets for stand by me was great! and you learn it quite fast too! good job! great improvement!

qihui: your bongo and tambourine for stand by me was the best! and your school song bells was LOUD :) timpani for postcard fanfare was :D

next big event up is NBCCCCCCCCC. we can do it right! remember, AIM HIGH (90%)!! (sounds like joan)

ohhhhhhhh, and we updated section board, please go see it, its really funny, but we are going to take it down soon, so hurry!

[Edit]
i changed it alrd, low hongyi. hahaha, and i didn't hear any mistakes what! actually i only heard the xylo, cause like the vibes cannot really hear. maybe my there too noisy. and you were so far away from me! cause of ms A hahahahahaha. anyway, ms A says our section have to SMILE :) more!!!
