Ello~ Finally. Im here. To blog about WEDNESDAY. THE Wednesday.

Its stick. Now with her pet, TOOTHPICK!

MORNING:
We arrived. (of course)
And then DM and BM both had remedial, so we were taken by Siew Kim Ma'am and Tessa Ma'am. We set up out instruments, and then warmed-up. Soon Mr Yea came. We practiced for awhile, and then more of the seniors had to go for remedial. (actually, almost all of the sec 3s) So, with them gone, we continued to run through the songs like Kids Klassix.

AFTERNOON:
We had our lunch. When we went there it wasn't actually raining, but when we were back, ohboy.. The rain was pouring and lots of us just ran back to the band room all drenched. Then on the way back we saw some seniors going for their lunch because their remedial ended late. Lucky them, when they came back it was all sunny.

NEAR END:
So we practiced and practiced because it was sectionals. And soon, we were called back to pack up, and head home.



THE END. YEP.



PS. some changes by brick cause stick has time lapse. :D

MONDAY~

Band started at 1pm instead of 9am because there was the "O" levels goin on. So we all reported at 12.30pm, but, we could only set our chairs and stands and take attendence. We could not set our instruments because Dm and Bm instructed us not to do so.

So only at 1pm, instruments were set and warm-up started by ourselves. but not long later, Mr Tan arrived. Then the teachers -in-charge arrived too. just as we thought we could start playing our instruments, Mr Tan and Mdm Alya were discussing about some stuff about the Seventieth Anniversary. Then Mr Tan instructed us to play parts of BRS, White River Canyon, as it might be used to replace Grand March "The Royal Wedding", so we dont need to trouble ourselves learning a new piece in a short time. The Main Band was told to play Kidz Klassix for the Junior Band for them to have an idea what it sounds like, as He decided it is going to be thier first combined Band piece.

After that all the scores of Kidz Klassix were collected back and sir allowed us for a break for 10 mins. After break ended, Sir, the teachers-in-charge and DM were outside the room dicussing some stuff so we just went on practicing by ourselves.

Soo after, Mr Tan came in and started testing the Sec 1s some stuff. Suddenly we were told that some weird teachers from dance wanted to hear what BRS and WRC sounds like , as they wanna create the Dance steps for the 70th Anniversary Performance. So we played and played. then Kids Klassix were given back to us and committee meeting was called for with the SLs. So we practiced and thought the sec 1s how to play Kidz Klassix.

after dunno how long, the committee came back with Sir and we went on for a little longer before we packed up and fall in for home.

so that was all. i think i left out some parts but oh well.

goodbye.

came.

We went in the Bandroom late cause no one came and opened it. So we set up chairs and our instruments. The new Recruit Officer marked our attendance and Clare went through a some of the Concert Band Clinic with us.

Mr Yea came and took over. He seemed as though He didnt knew anything that happened. Introduced us this Wedding March that we are supposed to play for 70th Anniversary and said it was not easy but we only have to play for a few bars of it.

The rest of the practice was taken over by the Tutors, while everyone had sectionals. The Tutors are great and all. We all learnt at least something.

Then Band ended and everyone can go home and sleep. And practice.

/-/2Y

There will be a Woodwinds Tutor and a Percussion Tutor coming down this Saturday. Mr Tan will take care of the Brass section himself.
EVERYONE PLEASE COME. THANK YOU. (:
cause Mr Tan paid for the tutors Himself.
Must remind each other to come. Dont waste His effort.

Please go for the concerts. Details are on the noticeboard inside the Bandroom.

So i am just gonna crap.
Go spend your weekends perfecting your songs.. the articulation, intonation... everything.
If you come back on Monday getting scolded theres no excuse that you didnt bring home your mouthpieces and practice.
Hope you guys have been doing well.
Listen more band songs.

They would be many concerts during June hols. Hope you would attend at least one of them. A $12 or so is definitely worth it.

The might not be time (to arrange & prepare) for Band camp.
Good luck for Exams.
