Dresscode: No. 5

Hey Yo Peepos~!!!!
                                 Today's rehearsal was generally well done! *claps* whoohoooo~~~ Concert       
segment was good just that you all have to move in faster! Trumpeter of Krakow was good and Power lady hits can work more on the dynamics! As for the parade segment, I sincerely apologize for some confusion and the changing of pieces! This is the rough sequence of the peices : The Thunderer, M.O.F, Fanfare No.! ( Boys Fanfare) , General Salute, Spirited Away and lastly the Sousa Times Twosa. Please spend the effort to practice and take note of what i changed and said today such as the change of  time signature from the percussion starting to the start of the pieces and the abrupt ending of Spirited Away and the Repeat of Sousa Times Twosa from the end to bar 5. I will try and go through the pieces tomorrow if there is time, if there isn't, i hope you guys can bring your instruments home and practice. The brasses need to be stronger as like what I've said, the band playing now is like listening to music without the bass, it feels very empty, thats why the tuba, trombones, euhonium plays a very important part. Please bear that in mind, if you feels that you need more players, please do not hesitate to approach me or ms dianah and we will see what we can do. Sec 1's, I hope you can learn from today's rehearsal and try to excel in your playing! 

Lastly, just to let you all know. SYC is in 12 DAYS! please bear in mind that it also means that you have 4 precious practice left. Please do not be late and report on time! Please do not fool  around and be serious in perfecting your music! That's all and enjoy your night. See you peeps tomorrow!

It BAND CAMP!Yay.so remember to bring everything that's on the list. And remember to pack no 3 uniform which is band tee, black pants and shoes. this is very important. and memorise your power lady hits. we are playing that for achievement day rehearsal tmr.Other than that everybody is to attend the exchange programme at Loyang sec.Sec 4s if you have lessons on mon or wed you can go and then come back.Sec 3s and 2s you are not excused for any lesson on any day. Well , during the camp take all the practises seriously and do not slack.but have fun at the same time.Don't forget anything if not you have to borrow from your friend.and as you know there is no pop.but there will be a promotion ceremony on wed afternoon before dismissal.Take care of your belongings and if you lose anything, teachers or majors are not respomsible.And one more important thing:follow the time given to you to finish doing things.If you extend the time,worse come to worse we will cut down your lunch and dinner time.Don't take all this lightly.It is really irritating to see you guys just doing everything slowly when you know you don't have much time.Ok.So take note of this.Lastly follow instructions clearly,abide by all the rules and well work hard.SYF is just days away.
that is all.See you guys tmr and the next and the day after.Bye ~Priyanka

For band practices next week. Band practices for next THURSDAY will be cancelled due to the sports carnival but on friday. Band practices will be as USUAL. So there should not be any reason that you are absent from band without a valid reason. Those who skips will receive their due punishment. Simple as that.
Please start to put in serious effort in your playing and you people should be bringing your instruments home to practice as there is seriously not much time alrd! Please make this SYC a good one and not disappoint the effort the teachers, instructors and tutors have put in! Make them know that their efforts were worthwhile okay!
