For the 2 sessions which are 28 May & 16 June, we will have sectionals from 10am till combine at 1pm.
To sec ones, cause many keep asking me. ._.
F.Y.I, Lunch break will be most probably around 12pm, so do bring enough cash as school canteen will not be open.

There will be STOCK CHECK next week. All alumnis/seniors are to return ALL instruments back by the next practice, Tuesday, 27 May. No more loaning of instruments are allowed till stock check is over. (Announced by majors last practice, 21 May.)

Choice pieces currently in consideration for NBC are Majestia, Dancing with the winds and Prelude & energico. The marching pieces, Washington post march or El capitan. Please work hard as we're left with not much time. If possible, SLs please rearrange their own sectionals during 2nd and 3rd week of hols as practice is insufficient. 5 weeks till NBC. Add oil, cause we need to prove to the teachers that we don't suck. :D (Quote from syazaaannnaa! )
