Band Practice tomorrow~ 20/8/10, from 2.00-6pm. Pls report at 2pm sharp, muslim boys can report at 2.30pm. No excuses for u being late. Friendly reminder, if percussion section have absenteees tmr for no reason, especially the sec3s, percussion will owe me 2rounds. Don't ever say that the person cant be contact, cos they can be!

And if everyone does the gimmicks, it would not be embarassing, okay, just do it~
I hope that there will not be any cases of MISPLACED instrument, if there are again, it will not only be punishing the section, it will be as a WHOLE BAND.

For this sunday run, i WANT all COMMITTEE to be PRESENT, if not, ur willl get it from me =D. Except for those whose parents really don't allow, then i wont force u. If everyone say ur parent dun allow, that will be damn obvious. Then i'll let ur run on band days. Don't say that i'm cruel ok. It's all your problem!

Thuss.... if your are not present, i will take note yeah. SYF is really a damn big thing, if your dun get a silver at least, then you can just say BYEBYE to Your PERTH trip. We meant it seriously!!
Don't get satisfied just because they said your improve or wadever. It's just not enough right now. Get ur basics right, and get ur air support there by going for the run~ If not, just by the PE lessons in sch, it is NOT ENOUGH, therefore i want to see more going for the run.

Band members, something to take note, all band members MUST pay the band fund by tomorrow okay? :D This is because your treasurer needs to do closing accounts at the end of the month so that he can also settle the claims made, people like the librarians whom photocopied the scores for you. I kindly seek this co-operation from you guys. Thanks.

To the librarians, if there are receipts that are not handed in yet, please do so, and if the receipt doesn’t state the title of the score, please write it at the back for clarification.

QMs please make sure that all members have signed and filled in the loan forms before they bring home their instruments.

That’s all for now. Practice the unsure parts tomorrow for sectionals, do as much as you can and do not SLACK! Mr De will be coming down for the last hour to see the end product. You should know what will happen if you do not execute well.

Regards,
FiR

thxs. Hope pita will not keep u knw what at us ;)

-Hamizah

to section leaders/majors

when u're informed abt their absence, pls inform shiting

stating what they'll give(MC,PL,EX)

A Dedication to GUEST...

Guest,

Trust me! i knw what u are going through coz i felt THE SAME WAY in SEC 1

i even CRIED in front of mdm loh, confessing to her that band is STRESS & blahblahblah

telling her that i wanted to QUIT coz i joined the band 2 MONTHS LATER than OTHERS!

of course i had A LOT to catch up... i was WAY behind. I dunno my scales-they were like my enemies especially higher notes! Moreover that time, my batch-ur current sec 3 seniors had to play pieces HARDER than what u're currently playing coz we were preparing ourselves for the National Band Competition (NBC) .

BUT

in the end, i decided to NOT QUIT coz it wasnt worth it

i mean I'VE ALREADY BOUGHT THE BAND UNIFORM!!!

If i were to quit, THE MONEY WOULD GO TO A WASTE!!!!!!!

So i just told myself to ENDURE & TRY MY BEST....

knowing that i was way behind, i tried putting effort to learn abt rhythms,key signatures,time signatures through videos frm youtube coz u cannot HIGHLY depend on ur seniors....

Finally after a year, in sec 2- all my worries abt playing my instrument were gone.

one good thing that i've learnt is NEVER GIVE UP!!!

I always remind myself of this quote:

"a FAILURE is someone who STOPS TRYING but a SUCCESS-er is someone who NEVER STOP TRYING EVEN IF HE/SHE has failed despite many attempts...."

So ask urself-Are YOU a failure?

Rmbr mr ghazali's advise "1% inspiration, 99% perspiration"-Thomas Edison (inventer of lightbulb)

FYI, do u knw that my friends from the uniform grp actually envys me for being in band even my twin?!

We get to try NEW THINGS such as NEW PEICES. PIECES U'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE IN UR LIFE!!! that is WAY BETTER than doing the same thing in uniform grps, dance or choir coz U get to PLAY these musics & not listen or dance to the rhythm.

one thing that i am feeling in band is- My section mates are the only people i'm more closer to than my friends coz being with them, i feel BELONGED!!!=D

if u have any problem, just come to me coz i've alrd went through it....;) if u need a shoulder to cry on, i'll be there coz crying makes u feel better. so pls dont quit!!! It is hard at first but u'll get used to it. but most importantly, if u want to improve,then come for band prac-DONT MISS A SINGLE ONE as each band prac is an important step to learn sth new & improve urself

-Hamizah;D
