Tuesday, February 1, 2011 DEAR BAND,

Hello Damaiwindz! ;)
It has been awhile since I posted.
We have been playing memories of friendship for about 2 months or so already.
And I have to say that,last Friday,your chords were really nice.
But on Saturday,we practised in the hall,and it wasn't as nice as of the day before.
Friday: Mr Wong worked with the Clarinet section.
The next day,everything is forgotten.
Band,when we ask you to take a pencil with you,it's for a reason.
So whenever we have combined band,when Mr Wong points out your mistakes,do not hesitate to take our your score from your folder and jot down some pointers on your score!
Even better,get a highlighter of your favourite colour,highlight the parts that you should take note of!
It's that simple!
I dont think things can get any simpler than that right?:D
The story does not end just there,
you have to work the parts by individual sectionaling!
We require you to come back for sectionals during Mondays and Wednesdays to sectionals on your own parts,so when you come for band practices,you wouldn't be lost in combined band.
Sometimes,there would not be enough time for sectionals during official band practices,so you have to sectionals on your own!
Mondays and Wednesdays :Choose either one to come back for sectionals:) 
 1 hour practising a phrase and getting it perfect is all it takes.That's what sectionals are for.
It is to correct your own mistakes.Not other's.
Tuesdays,Fridays and Saturdays: Official band practices. You are obviously required to be present 100%.
If you're not feeling well,please inform the top5 leaders.(May,Wanxin,Sophia,QianHui and SY)
We do not one to be thinking of you as "pon band"-ing.So get your message to us.
As for Saturday practices,it is also official SYF trainings,so we are very very nice to let your mornings be free,so you can sleep/go for tuition/do hw/study. So no excuses why you shouldn't attend saturday's practices.(I have made myself clear.)

Auditions.
Some of us have been already auditioned by Ms Tan,and some of you haven't.
We'll be continuing with the SYF auditions on Tuesday on Memories of Friendship.
Those who has already been auditioned by Ms Tan and would like to have a re-audition,
please inform me by this Saturday(:
I know you haven't got to know the marks yet,but you would roughly know your marks according to your own standards.

Band,the rehearsal is just an inch away. 12 February!
Work hard,and it'll pay off.
:)
