We're getting there!
Let's just stay focused ok? We are reaching the peak of the mountain so keep climbing. Don't look down but keep pushing yourself forward. We only have about 11 days left so come on, pull through it.
I'm glad to see the desire in you guys to aim for the GOLD, or better GOLD WITH HONOURS. It's not impossible. Make sure everytime you play, you are satisfied with your playing and that you are able to satisfy and meet up to others' expectations as well. Like what any audience will want from a performance: being ENGAGED!
Comments from others after hearing us: not bad but not projecting out the sound. (Take note)
XINMIN! WE ARE HUNGRY! LET'S SHOW OUR HUNGER AND GREED FOR THAT GOLD! Caution: Xinmin is going to rock the stage!

let whatever happen at AMK CC serve as a reminder to us. WE shall never freak out anymore and play with consistency. notice the word WE? if one section doesnt do well or screw up, d whole band will be affected.
SYF is a chance for us to perform.not to be scared.
Pls strice for consistency and perfectness during sectionals and self prac. we can do it. don't waste the effort put in by those who care about us.(Yiyong's talks, d conductors practise, d teachers supervising us, the SLs etc etc)
MOST OF ALL DON"T LET YOURSELVES DOWN.MAKE SURE TT THERE ARE NO REGRETS ON THE DAY TT THE RESULTS ARE ANNOUNCED...

didn't noe its been a mth since d previous post..oops..sry ppl
a new era has began.d new batch of sec1s r already having their first concert this sat! jiayou!!so sec 2s its time for u guys to brush up on ur playing skills b4 ur juniors overtake u..sec 3s keep up d gd work..sec 4s work hard for syf u guys will be able 2 concentrate on o level after its over..hang in there everyone.
march hols is kinda of hectic but hey its d only long hols b4 SYF. dun complain too much ok? you reap what you sow.practise hard now and we will get d results tt we want.so exchange is on wed to sat.pls check d schdule on the board and PLS BE PUNCTUAL.
playing has been improving slightly but d one thing we lack is CONSISTENCY. this is very very important.ask urselves a ques.how much do u remember wad d conductors say? do u take note of wad they say? do u practise it during sectionals? mr tan spoke to d BLs tt day and he say we are at the gold standard but tt is only if he stops and work parts by parts. if we can do it in parts, why can't we play d whole piece nicely? LACK OF CONSISTENCE. u guys noe wad to do but u ppl keep forgetting it. remember, mr tan can stand on stage n shout at u on d SYF day.
as for those ppl who r nt taking part in d SYF, conitnue to work hard. SYF is nt everything. we hv a concert coming up remember? d band still loves u!!!
CONSISTENCY ppl. its d one important thing we need to get our gold..
