Thursday, July 22, 2010 SIBF 23 JULY 2010
Dearest DamaiWindz. GUESS WHAT! What? SIBF IS TOMORROW. We have talked to you,motivated you,auditioned you,held sectionals,had regular band practices .. Band...
The day has come. The day is tomorrow. Its not a performance,its not a time to try out your skills. Its the time to SHOWCASE the band. Tomorrow will be the day,where we play together,as one. The day we have been practising for,for 7 months. 7 months is not a short period of time. This is what you have achieved after 7 months. Now,think. Have you done enough? Is this the best you can perform? You might answer no,but then,why no? Come on band! Lets do it! It might be too late to change any major errors, but we still can change! --------- INTONATION! Open your ears,calm yourself down,and listen to how you sound...How well you fit into the band's sound... FEELINGS! Oh man! I bet all of you guys have feelings right? I have seen some of you expressing yourselves while playing.You have seen cute 4-year-old Howard on the drumset ! Seen how he expressed his happiness,his pride! What about us? Concerto D'amore! LOVE PEOPLE LOVE! An energetic part in pop style, that ends up in a characteristic adagio. A motive from this adagio is assimilated in a swinging part, after which the work finishes with the return of the adagio in a different appearance. There is a energetic pop style in the begginning, and then a characteristic adagio. Adagio flows to a swing part,and after which,the awesome song ends with the return of another adagio:) Variants on a Shaped Note Tune! VILLAGES SCOTTISH PUFFY CLOUDS! Imagine puffy clouds,among the mountains,and scottish guys wearing the skirts(?). calming..the feel of overlapping,grand-ness. the WOW feeling when everyone comes in to play together. WATCHING THE CONDUCTOR Dont change Mr Wong's tempo! watch the conductor all right! BALANCING Dont merely just emphasise and listen to you and yourself only! Dont be so selfish! Listen to the band! Balance and blend yourself in! Its like oreo chocolate iceblend! Imagine yourself as the oreo and the band is the chocolate iceblend. So you blend and spread yourself so everything fits perfectly. And there! You have it! A nice bubbletea:) BALANCE AND BLEND WITH THE BAND! Focus focus. DONT WOBBLE! Do not freak out during the competition. Just act as your normal self,expressing your own music,listening to the band,and enjoy. --- ----- 23rd July 2010 Friday Singapore International Band Festival REPORT IN SCHOOL: -Time: 6.15am sharp(Assemble at canteen staircase area) -Attire: Full band uniform -Girls: Blouse,skirt,scarf(yellow and red),court shoes,stockings,hairband. -Guys: Shirt,pants,tie(yellow),shoes,high black socks Reminder: Girls are to clip up their hair neatly.
