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.
