there will another recording this sat.
but this saturday, one section to one mic.
for solos (eg' trumpet solo from sock hop tonight), there will be an individual mic for you
so band, you gotta do your best!
all the notes that are played wrongly & out of tune, wrong rhythm etc. can be heard clearly :O
for your last recording, it wasn't very badly done, neither was is very well done.
the score mr wong gave for it was 45/100. ( its D7 :l )
trombones were generally out of tune with some wrong notes here and there.
saxophone's soli in sock hop tonight was played without much feelings.
intonation of trumpet solo in sock hop tonight is out in some parts
1st clarinet and flute's part on ' swing ' didn't have a feel of 'swing'.
those playing chords in bar 41-49 of concerto d'amore(3rd clar,fhorns etc) are not coming enough.
the question&answer part in concerto d amore (bar 41-49) wasn't very well done.
and so on..
this are some the things we have to work and improve on to get a better sound.
and make sure u are in tune!
a 99/100 score is expected from you by mr wong, and of course the leaders!
do your best so that we'll be able to pass the audition and be the first band to perform in disney land [:
oh ya.. pls do your breathing excercises ( horny yoga, diaphragm training) at home.
improve your diaphragm and take in more air.. keep this in your mind..OXYGEN IS FREE!
take care ppl!
eat, sleep and drink lots of water!

you all maybe wondering what's the repertoire for the overseas trip right?
well, its not really finalised yet so, we'll just have to wait!
but there's 4 songs which has already been confirmed

WORK HARD!
-Concerto d amore ( super super important)
-Sock hop tonight (with gimmicks)
-Eighties Flashback
-Moon represents my heart
Gimmicks will be re-taught soon :D
for the rest of the songs, i'll confirm and update u guys asap.
PLEASE do your part ; do your diaphragm training at home!
this is like the 7890283645252th time i repeated this.
but apparently no one did it -____-
so start doing it when you're free
cos we do not have much time left.
about 7 more weeks to the trip = about 49 more days left!
we can't have practices on the days with o lvl's gg on
so the amt of time we have left is less then 49 days!
for those who are not going for the trip,
you still have to come for band practices!
just that the no of practices will be less than the group performing.
yah.. pls turn up for band,
you won't to get a fair for your conduct next year right?
so.. you know what to do.
take care people!
pls EAT&SLEEP well and DRINK lots of water. weather's not to good this few days.
bye :D
