Quarter Master: Khairul* (Brasses IC) Darren (Woodwinds IC) Suhaib (Percussion IC) Samuel Michael Yimin Wanwen
I guess this would be my very last entry in the band blog. It's now or never so I shall say some last words, haha. The 4 years of memories with Damaiwindz is greatly appreciated by me and is a really memorable one. (: After all this years of being with you guys, especially the one year which I was the leader, I felt that Damaiwindz is such a nice and potential band. You guys have the ability inside you, it's you, yourself who is holding back the potential. Do not hold back anymore and just let it out alright! I really wanna thank you guys for cooperating with me for this past 1 year. The journey waiting for all of you is going to be a long and tough one with SIBF and SYF'2011 coming up. All I want to say is: PERSEVERE ON! All I want to see is: EVERYBODY TRYING THEIR VERY BEST! It's the process which matters the most. Strive hard, practice hard and work hard! And sincerely from the bottom of my heart, all the best for SIBF and remember, do not every give up! Although I might not be in the band anymore, my moral support would always stay within the band. (: Ohyah, and also not forgetting to wish the new leaders all the best!

HEY BAND! Now that Mid-Year Exams are over, (Bet you guys are jumping for joy now!) CCA will be resuming! Aren't you guys excited? :D The next band practice will be on tuesday (18th May), The sec4s and 5s are also required to come. This will be your very last band practice. Also, do take note that the bandstore would be open on monday morning (17th May) for all of you to put back your instruments at 7.15am. Strictly nobody is allowed to bring your instrument back to the classroom. So do be a reponsible band member and come slightly earlier on monday!
Since it has been quite some time since you guys have practice, do make sure that you still remember your embouchure, fingerings, positions, pitching etc. Do make use of this few days (especially monday's sectionals) before the 1st band practice to get back all those things mentioned above. I am sure you guys want to start practicing on your songs once CCA resume right? So instead of trying to get back your embouchure, why not take the time to get it back now and use the time during band practice to practice the songs with your section? It's much much more enjoyable! (:
As for the sec1s, you guys will be exposed to songs really soon! I'm sure all of you want to play as well as your seniors right? So do memorise all your fingerings, positions to get yourself fully prepared! As for the sec2-3s, SIBF is approaching really soon, in less than 20 practices! I'm not trying to scare all of you but if you really take a look at the calender, it is indeed less than 20. It's time to pull up our socks and give in our best efforts and hardwork. We do not have much time left. Get ready for the upcoming challenges and remember to do your self score study on Concerto and Variants!
Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success. - Napoleon Hill
