MONDAY's Practice.

As usual, Ma'am clare went through the warm-ups. The speakers are all fixed up, all thanks to Ma'am Elysia! While conducting the warm-ups, Mr Tan arrived. We carried on and went through parts in I Recomend and the Four Quarter Rhythm Pattern which would be tested for the recruits. warm-ups and these only ended at around 4 plus.

Then Mr Tan took over and went through tuning and Blue Ridge Saga with us. He said that our BRS was horrible and that we might have to start from scratch again. It was the lack of practice. OH MY GOD. peeps, we better buck up. there's only 6 practices left! D: and the not so easy set piece is going to be released soon.

So, because warm-ups took up quite a lot of time, there wasnt much time left for us to practice more songs. Mr Tan stopped at around 5.35, then he started the talk about band stuff. After that, we ended band just like that.


* LEHGARTOH

Saturday practice was like the usual. Ma'am Clare was going through warm-ups with us until Mr Yea came and took over.

While on it, the tutors came in and help. Ms Rekkha was told to take some of the juniors and teach them, while Mr Nizam helped the percussion secion out as usual. Mr Yea told the recruits they would be having a test on some of the scales and excercises, though the seniors manage to skip theirs last time. Hee hee. Good luck then!

Mr Yea went through A Walk With McCarley that he introduced to us last week, and just told us that it was a funeral song dedicated to someone. We were kinda freak out as its the seventh month already and we are playing this song so the ghost of Mr McCarley will haunt us?

He gave out a new song called "Believe", an ending theme, when he found out that such a nice song was left lying in the Band library for five years untouched. We went through it and at the last few minutes of Band he gave out "YMCA", but we sight read horribly, though it was not a difficult song.

It was early and Band just ended like that. When we were told to fall in, Clare led Mr Rama out as we have to talk about... private stuff. Ho. I wonder how Clare manage to do that anyway.
