For the first time as far as i know, we had band practice for 7 full days. yes, 7 consecutive ones since last saturday. Ok, as you all know its mostly due to the CCA Fair Rehearsal.
On thursday, Mr Yea borught us all to some footdrills at the end of the day. After that whole break from band during the last few weeks of holidays, our standard dropped back to where we were before Mr Yea had trained us from. Now, we have to start from scratch, all over again.. And, yesterday was the rehearsal for CCA Fair. Firstly we went up late, the teacher scolded us. Secondly, we played very horribly. Claim to have reasons behind this, but do you think they are reasons? or not? If we continue to play like this for CCA Fair, we wont be about to recruit enough members to uphold the strength of the band and we will see that everything is going to get real bad after this batch of Secondary 3 members pass out next year. And if we continue how we play Light of Dawn for SYF, just say goodbye to what, we claim, to be aiming for.
Come on Band, you all have to just put in that little more effort. Work hard for now, you can always have fun after SYF. And Sec 4 Seniors, please just try your best to attend practices and work together with all of us for the coming competition. You know that we can't do without you.
On this coming monday, do your best during practice and don't let Mr Tan down or get angry. During sectionals on wednesday, work on all the parts you have difficulty in the two pieces. Dont be complacent and think that you are already very good. No matter what, there is always space for MORE improvements. and, On Thursday, be as welcoming as possible, remain fun and encourage as many secondary ones as possible to JOIN BAND. Mr Yea will be conducting the performance, so do your best. Go memorise your pieces now IF you havent done so.
So, let's just hope that all will go fine for this week and that neither the instructors will get pissed off or too stressed. It's time for more motivation.
