ty mic for packing the things in the band room on friday. [coz now is sat and shona's bdae :D]
There are more and more rubbish in the band room and now dere's a school library book?!
furthermore, nobody came forward to claim it. This is not responsiblity dat we expects to c.

nxt, i would strongly encourage all of u to go for concerts. please expose yourself to beta playing in order to improve. Please work tgt with your section leaders and seniors to make things happen. And please not throw cold water on your sls who would greatly want to turn up for concerts with his/her sections. If you worry about whether you will be lonely, grab your friends along. dat's wad friends are for, further more, section mates or even band mates.

also, the band leaders kindly make the effort to open the band room for u all. but yet, unappreciated. there's onli around 4-6 peeps who came back today. Putting that aside since you all had a long day yesterday. let's look further back. Band room's opening EVERYDAY except weekends, and yet dere's ppl who have nv turned up for self prac. I hope to keep the enthusiasm during the training and sectional-ing period b4 the ensemble competition alive k?
dere's lot u can do. be hardworking and learn your major and minor skills! :D

i hope to receive a positive no. when the SLs gives me the numbers on sunday.

hi all again! xD
well, basically just here to update on events coming up in case all of you still dont know.
14th to 16th nov: band camp
22nov (tentatively): ensemble competition [it applies to junior band too]
11th to 13th dec: band chalet

please check the noticeboard for the times of the band practices instead of asking the BLs or SLs.
unless there are additional practices that are not confirmed yet.
once the BLs know, they will immediately tell the SLs to inform their section.
so dont worry.

10 days to band camp.
18 days to ensemble competition.
37 days to band chalet.
*the number of days include today.

ensemble competition is not far away.
18 days is not very long.
and in actual fact, your ensemble pieces should be ready by band camp.
so that is just 10 days.
excluding today, thursday [deepavali], next saturday and sunday, you have only 6 days to practise.
so is that a lot?
and you also have your major scales and minor scales by band camp too.
yet..
so few of you are coming back.

even if you think you can play everything very well, it is an ensemble.
ensemble not solo.
help others if they need help.
all of you in an ensemble need to work together.
and playing in an ensemble needs time to work everything out.

well, that's all ive got to say today.
hope i'll see an improvement.

bye folks!

sherilyn was here. ((:
