Yo!!!

How is your break like??? Anyone still want to take home your instrument?
If you want, sms me tonight. =)
Hmmm, remember to study well ah
SLs, remember what you are supposed to do as a section.

Sec3s~~~~~~
Want to go batch outing? Before our EOY. So stressed up recent days.
Badminton match?? If you want, tag on the box. xD

For Junior Band, i expect your to be able to play all 4 scales by next band practice. The four scales are: Concert B flat, Concert A flat, Concert E flat, Concert F. If you don't know, ask your sec3 seniors.

Sec2s, buck up hor!!
Streaming this year, it determines your futurE??
But overall, just take it easy, don't stress yourself up before the exam.
Cos it won't do anything well to you.
Any probs in your studies, can approach me if i can help you, or any of your Sec3 seniors. =))

Sec1s also can, although your don't have streaming, but juz do well this year.
Cya soon,

Loves, Patricia.

To all muslims band members! :
A very happy Hari Raya for your after 12midnight today! Hope your will enjoy YOUR day very very much just like how i enjoy my CNY.

End of your fasting month and NOWWW... You can eat together with us from nowon!
Don't need to wait for sunset! =))
Enjoy everything before your End Of Year Examinations come, go hang out with your family, friends, relative in these few days of GREAT GREAT SPECIAL holiday!~~

I bet your are pretty keen to have a lots of $$ right? XDD
Okay, you can enjoy all the while you need, BUT, don't forget to practice at home uhs.
Don't come back with a lousy playing, then in the end pissed off everybody.

Next destination for band members is the POP!!~ Train up your playing, and drills. Maybe we should find some day to do drills, if can. Go ask your parents for permission, then suggest the date at the chatbox there? I hope that everyone can attend the drills, because, your HAVE to do it anyway~~~ BEFORE SYF.

And sad to say, there will not be any band practice from now till ,18Oct, after your EOY.

Friendly reminder: I will do a spot check on your playing after the exam when band practice startsss. If you do not meet my standard, be prepared to do somethings to get back your skills. So to those who never bring back your instrument, or those who bring back but never practice, good luck. Those who PRACTICED, well done!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DANYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! STILL HAVE 44MIN AND YOUR BIRTHDAY IS GOING TO OVER. HOW U FEEL ABOUT HAVING BIRTHDAY RIGHT BEFORE HARI RAYA?? SHIOK RIGHT =DD

-Loves, Patricia~

Extra Holiday Practice~ : 6/9/10. 9am-1.30pm. Report at 8.45am. In Band Teeeeeee~~~
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So peepo, did your enjoy the performance at NAFA? Hope that you remember not only the joy, but the things that you've learnt too. Such as advice from Mr. Marvin Khoo, Mr. Brando Tan and Mr. Ed Tan?
Don't forget that this is not the last performance you will be performing, we will still have other chances to perform elsewhere. So now, and after the holiday practice, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spend time for your studies FIRST, then your music. Get a good results for your SA2 first, so that your parents would not disallow you to come for band practice. So that they will be happy for you. Because, i can say that holiday practice are fun! And Hard toooooo!! A reminder first, please try not to go for holiday in the early to mid november, and late december. Most probably there are practice in between in preparation for POP and SYF. In order for your to go for the Perth trip, we MUST get a silver, AT LEAST. If we can do even better, get a GOLD and smash the CO =P. I believe that you are able to do it, and MUST do it!

Words to Parents of the members:
Dear Parents,
I'm sorry if my language will make you confuse, because i'm not very good in my English. However, i would like to say that, I'm very thankful to all of you for coming down on 3September2010 to support your children and the band members. Your presence at the concert hall have given the student a boost before the performance, and also pressure for them to do well too. I hope that you will support your children to go for Band. It is because if you support them, they would feel encouraged, and do even better. My mother had also given me the support. The feeling of the encouragement is something that money cannot give to me, it gives me a lot of happiness when time passes by. I know what your are worrying of, it is their studies. "As a student, Studies always come first, then music", this is what our conductor, Mr De, had emphasised on us almost everytime. I agree, thus, my main focus is always studies, however, when Band starts, my main focus will be in music! What i feel about Band is that the pieces that we've played always relieve my pressure from studies. Therefore, I always look foward for Band practices. Music from the heart is most pure, I hope that you will give your utmost support to your child who is in Band.
Thank you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last but not least, get a good well rest and get prepare for further trainings that is even harder !!!! =D

Loves, Patricia.
