Hi band! National Day Performance is just 7 days away! (It's on the 9th Aug)
Have you prepared yourselves yet?
Shall put up the Repetoire in case some of you still don't know:
*National anthem
*Happy birthday
*Eighties flashback
*Fairytale
*Fiesta de los bravos
*Livin la vida loca
*Stand up for singapore
*Made in singapore
*Friendship runs deep

Please make sure you have packed your files already.The bandstore would be opened for you guys on Monday & Wednesday to do it if you haven't! :)

Also, please make sure that:
-Your attire is perfect during band practices! That includes sectionals. Take the initiative to check yourselves, do not wait for others to do it for you:)
- No knocking/dropping of instruments/instrument stands! The instruments is expensive. So please, be kiasu a bit. Prevention is better than cure.
- Scores/stands should not be missing/flying around! They should either be in your file, or ring file.(Stands should be placed in a bag)
- Dropping of band chairs is strictly prohibited! Also, please make yourselves useful by helping to carry the chairs. I don't want to see anyone slacking. The band can only function fully if everyone puts in 101% effort.

There will be auditions for the performance.
Sec1s as well as seniors, please put in your 101% effort! Your hardwork will definitely be paid off.
I hope to see everyone working hard for the performance! Feel free to loan home your instruments & files :)

Here is something that may help you in your sectionals.

10 Steps for EFFECTIVE sectionals!
1)Rhythm
2)Notes
3)Articulations
4)Dynamics
5)Intonation
6)Phrasing
7)Memorising
8)Play together
9)Balance & Blend
10)Musicality
Do the 10 points step by step. First, work on your rhythm, then notes, followed by articulations and so on.
After you have worked on the first 7 points, you can practice with your section/band for the last 3 points.
In this way, not only will you save time for yourself, but for others as well!

I hope this helps! Jiayou Damaiwindz!

Wanxin,
