Please watch the above video! it is an important message from Satoshi Yagisawa to all SYF'11 bands taking part.
there's subtitles there, don't worry!

For those who cannot view, i'll summarize what he is trying to say.
THE MESSAGE:
Basically, he has put all his heart into composing the two SYF set pieces.
Likewise, he would like us to put our hearts into playing these set piece(in our case, Memories of Friendship:D), to play with feelings. There are many different intepretations to a good performance.
To begin with having the right rhythm and intervals.
Above all, it is important that everyone treasures the memories made during the performance. (:


So band. It's 18 more days to SYF.             11 APRIL 2011             (morning)
We either make it, or break it. Let's prove that DAMAIWINDZ has the skills and gives our very best in the syf. Forget about all the negative things. Think about the positive ones.  The path is ours to choose. We are all in this together and have support from each other! Encourage each other! :)
WE CAN DO IT, BAND! I BELIEVE IN EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!!

Hey band! (:

I would like everyone to use a highlighter or pencil to highlight or underline/circle your score.
It must look lively!! :D
1. Mark your ' breath marks .
2. Mark where you are going to bring up and put down your instruments.

In case you do not know...
Some word/expression meanings in MOF & SO:
Grandioso a Tempo (MOF, Part L) - To play in the original tempo, in a grand and noble style.
Meno messo (SO, Part C going D) - Less movement.

And for morning practices;
1. Do long tones. But wait!
Sing the note first. After that, check your embouchure. Take a deep breath, & breath in through your mouth.
Gently tongue the first note you are going to play. Listen to your tone, how you sound like. Train your ears.
