Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ohkay, since we are starting Let's Swing tomorrow, here's a video of a Japanese band playing the song.
*things to take note from the video*
1.Listen to how their Saxophones are unlike OUR band(they are so loud ohkay!) 2.Listen to how they come in confidently unlike OUR band 3.Listen to how they pulse the phrases. 4.Listen to how the brasses did not overtake the woodwinds 5.Oh, and look at the conductor.Haha.
In case you guys dont know, this song is from the movie Swing Girls. Go watch it at http://www.mysoju.com/swing-girls/ Its a very nice and funny movie so go watch :D
and, these are the bar numbers from the songs that you need to memorise:
Overture no1 today : bar 1 - 33 10th Dec : bar 34 - 75 11th : bar 76 - 111
so i expect everyone to memorise the whole song by 12th December's practice. I want you guys to really improve your playing and have a higher demand on yourself. If you keep playing wrong notes, you must scold yourself and ask why you always play wrong notes and remember to not repeat it again. We leaders cannot always constantly be your tape recorder and tell your mistakes everytime. You yourself must be professional. And if you want to get a gold, that is what you should do ohkay?! so i expect more from everyone from now onwards.
What: Band Festival Concert When: 18th December 08 7.30 PM Where: Tampines JC Auditorium How much: ONLY $5!!! Whose performing: Muzakkir, Idy, Vanessa, Wanshi, Grace, Fairul and some other schools like St Anthony Canossian, Maris Stella and more.
Im encouraging ALL Sec Ones and Twos to go XD Sec Threes are also welcome :D Please do come to support your ex-seniors ohkay! Those who wants to go, please tell me by 11th December's practice ;D
