Band started early saturday morning, as usual, not many people came... D:

warm-ups carried out as usual when Mr Yea came. We are happy to see he had recovered from his sickness and in a surprisingly good mood.We were taught to learn the C major scale before actually learning the G major scale, so we ended up learning both. The More the Merrier. Anyways Mr Yea went through A Walk With McCarley again, and a few other songs like Tequila and say maybe play for Sec one Orientation next year, as every concert he conducts, the audience knows the song and shouts " Tequila!" at the right time. Thats because classical music dont appeal to Singaporeans much, so most of the audience in concerts are only Band members, then they ought to know that song.

He intro new songs to us, and went through, so we would have time to prepare for Sec one orientation next year and not last minute preperation again. For the first time, some of the Band members are taught how to do a Glissando on the new muppet song ( I forgot whats the name of that song ).

It was the last Band practice before the exams so everyone bring home instruments and must practice!!!

BYEBYE

'TEH NIU TOH

Whats with the thing for conductors to play pop songs these days...

( due to me having STM, i might get some of the parts for Monday's Band wrongly.. sorry! )

ANYWAYS!
Mr Tan came to Band, and started conducting warm ups. He tested the juniors and went through the Band test requirements with us. He gave out a piece for the Band to sight-read, called "Annie", some familiar lao oldies song that He really like alot. According to Him it is a nice piece though that song dont really appeal to some of us.

Somehow, He assumes the Band wants to sight-read more pieces(actually its really him that wants to), and went down to His car to get them. We were given a short break. He came along with this Japanese song, whatever the title is, we played it and we sounded horrible.

Then he gave out "High School Musical - We Are All In This Together" and say maybe we play it for sec one orientation next year but then we are like thinking why you give us this song, the sec ones next year wont probably join Band if thats so. We went through that song, then He started talking about how to get more sec ones into our Band next year.

After collecting back the scores, we went through Tempest Rising.

We had drills for the last half hour or so, And it was really messy and everything.

Band ended then.
