Short message

2011-03-22T21:44:00.001+08:00

Dear band members,

18th March's sound check was not bad, but I know you guys can do even better than that! As on the SYF that day, we only can perform once and no chances are given for the mistakes that you have played. Most of us have the same aims/goals for this SYF. I hope every one of us work hard together and do our very best. Also putting in our 100% focus into every practices.

Please apply what the conductors have said on the pieces. Important things are to feel the pulse, flow with the music and express it out. Lift up your instruments and move along with the music. It will be beautiful, if every one of you do it. It's no use when only some of them move along and the others just sit still. Shaping the music and look at the conductor and try not stare at the scores. Don't you guys want to make the audiences feel touched, giving them goose bumps or excite them?

The leaders and I will appreciate if you guys coorporate with us. We do not want to shout at you, you guys are young adults. Have some sense of urgency, responsibility and discipline. Lend a helping hand to your section mates or band mates when they need it most. It will be better to help others than to let them ask for help. We will be grateful if you lend a helping hand. Lets do our best and efforts will pay off.

Hi all !

The reason why I am posting this entry is because Jia Ru is now in Malaysia and everyone SHOULD BE asleep now.

Have not being seeing you guys for quite some time. I hope you all had learnt some stuff during your respective camps !

Those who cannot attend march holiday practices, please inform the leaders by monday and state why. Please be reminded the practices from now till SYF is very crucial to what we are aiming for ! The sound check is only exactly in 13days time. Please plan your time well and take care of yourself. Drink more water and see you on monday ! Those who cannot attend soundcheck please try to adjust your timing in order to make yourself present.

Sound check is supposed to check the balance of the band. If one person went missing, it defeats everyone's effort and hard work. Everyone should always remember what we are working on ! ESPRIT DE CORPS ! Everyone should be heading the same direction and no one should be left behind !

In addition, I heard from some of you that you are injured during the camp. Please see adoctor if your wound is swollen and stuff ! Rest well and see you guys on monday's combine !

Thanks and cheers !

Mr Yeo

Dear Band Members,
We only have a few weeks left till SYF, so please work really really hard as this may be your first or last SYF that you will be performing in. Please try to attend all the practices as we don't have much time left. If you have tuition or things you have to attend to, try to arrange it on another day. Going for band practices may be tiring at times but please give it your all till the end of practice and circle down things that you have to work on. SL's if your section is free, please conduct sectionals with them and work on your articulations, rhythms etc.
Please keep up the good effort! Those who are unwell please get well soon and drink lots and lots of water! :)

Last but not least, ENJOY YOUR CAMP! :) Remember to come back in one piece. Also, if you're feeling unwell, please get well soon before the camp starts or you will be going there sick and you'll have no mood to participate in the activities :)
