guys, if were here 2 years ago, for the 03 syf, you'd remember when miss tan walked out on us, just 2-3 weeks before the syf coz we played badly. yeah, and we were left without a conductor. the whole band was like, so worried that she will not come back in time for the comp... and we were really fortunate to have the syf being postponed to july, coz of sars... den finally when she came back to see us, we played really really well... and she came back! we were so goddamned elated haha... i still remember... couldn't stop smiling... ok, so the point is this. i don't want to have to go through the whole experience of not having a conductor just few weeks before syf... its scary. and troubling and worrying. if mr tan really walks out on us, there goes our chance of participating in syf, let alone the gold medal we all want. so yeah, please practice hard ok? as long as you try your best and keep improving consistently, i doubt we'll have a problem.
2 years ago, up til a few weeks before the first syf date, miss tan kept criticizing us, and guys, you HAVE to remember that criticism is not a bad thing. take it in a positive light and further improve on it. play your part well first, then we can go on to playing it well as a section, and then a band. then our gold will come. so as mr tan says, if you can't play a part well, exclude yourself from the part. eg, cassandra can't play the beginning well, so she'll just have to pretend to play for that part. it'll work.
when i heard mr tan walked out on you guys yesterday i was so angry. i mean, the syf is barely 3 months away! you might think its a lot of time, but let me tell you. it isn't. trust me, i've participated in 2 other syfs, and the amount of time i spent practicing last time is nothing compared to this. don't worry too much about your studies... because its a proven fact that you must have an active cca to do well in your studies too. so yeah, i dunno what else to say, but time is really precious now, and we cannot afford to have mr tan walking out on us every practice. so practice well ok? SLs, mr tan told you ur section weakness yesterday, so improve on it.
btw, orientation was a success!!! yay!!! 3 cheers for orientation committee... jimmy, yiang shan, agnes (paiseh forgot bout you...), baozhen, peggy, shaphan, jiawei!!! haha...
weiqin! damn i forgot to put my name again!
