ok quick update on orientation...
not everyone is involved k? only sec2s and 3s of 2004...
because sec1s don't know under the sea.
quick practice on tuesday at 230pm at the band room...
i dunno what time i dismiss so someone ask the band teachers to draw the key...
and then wednesday performers will be allowed to leave class at 1.00pm
come straight to band room, warm up, move stuff to hall.
performance starts at 2.00pm, and we play for 10 minutes.
then we move everything back by 245, *orientation committee and some leaders go for orientation...
*take turns to have breaks
the rest of the band have break til 3.00, so the faster we keep the longer break we have.
otherwise, i don't care if you starve.
and the sec1s'04, practice from 3.00 to 6.30 on wednesday...
thats all! happy new year!!!
and wish for a gold everyone...

update* if you guys wanna open the band room,
get any of the band teachers to draw the key for you
mrs song, mdm ida, mr ng, mdm foo

So hows everyone doing? Christmas is finally over. And after a looooooooong break from band, I'm feeling soo restless. Life without band is like an alchoholic without alchohol... =X haha.. Gd news to everyone!! The floor is done! Well, it should be done la.. I later go school then check. And I hope everyone had practiced during this break! And don't slack off now, cause the practices ahead would be getting more intensive! Yeah! So start loving your instrument and be responsible for your notes if you have not started.

Spreading the festive spirit, HaNyOnG =)

haha i am just here to update for fun!!! well today band we had mr leng, and everyone please remember what he said and to...
1) start together, end together, change note together
2) COUNT!
3) have a straight sound. no bumpiness
4) don't CRACK! ahem french horn...
5) and just have fun while playing your instrument. (ok leng didn't say this, i did)

ya know guys, i was wondering, how many of us actually ENJOY playing our instruments? how many of us come to band just for the sake for coming to band because the alternative is always going out in front of everyone during morning assembly? juz a thought. but guys, try to love your instrument k? and love the band members too. and erm band members, if you come to this site, don't be afraid to post anything on e taggie...

weiqin! =p

hehe hallo! just want to say that i'm very proud of everyone for putting in their best during yesterday's exchange! i think that everyone tried very hard and i know that if we keep doing our best, the band will definitely improve! so keep it up k ppl? that's the spirit..

well bet you all are very tired so must rest more and don't fall sick k..but pls be prepared for more sectionals & tutorials coming ur way.. i and the other leaders too wld like to see a super motivated XMSB! where everyone is willing to practice and really loves band.. a band that believes!

we can do it! tell yourself that you believe and trust me, if u really believe it and know it in ur heart, it will come true. during the camp when you said 'i believe' to urself, u may have thought it was just a joke but when u really believe, it feels different. it gives u the will and drive to practice and to give ur heart and soul to band, that's the difference. go reflect on this..hehe take my advice man, it really works!

believe!

haha k got this from e chong boon band blog & i thought it might help motivate you guys..

  • If we want things to change, we ourselves must change first!
  • i take 100% responsibility for e results i achieve
  • We all have the same potential. if others can, i can too!!
  • When i am committed enough, there's always a way
  • If i can't, then i must!
  • there is no failure, only learning experience
  • Whatever i can conceive and believe, i can achieve!

anything n everything is possible as long as you believe n r willing to work towards it! aim for top5 gold, don't just aim for gold! we can make it! believe!
