Hello people, :D

Okay, so the holidays are here!
Still, there are a few school events coming up.

Firstly, the SEA ceremony,
Next would be the open house.
This is the chance to catch the attention of those P6 students,
so they can come to our school and join band.
So those members who are involved, please attend band practices.

Other than those performing members,
the rest can slack all they want at home, (i guess)
But those who didn't do well for EOY,
please remember to study hard too,
make use of this holiday !
Of course, you can also go through the scores you have,
just make sure that during the next full band practice,
you guys still know how to play your instruments ._.

Remember, we have a concert next year, so don't slack too much !
But most importantly, enjoy this holiday, we deserve it :D

Tomorrow is the big day! Well, all the efforts from the previous practices will all be for tomorrow. Remember all your steps, gimmics, make sure that they are sharp and precise.
Shoulder pull back, chin up, henta with force and give your best posture.
Best behaviour and best performance tomorrow yeahs?

Remember to iron your full band uniform, esp your gold slash
(*BUT PLZ PUT A CLOTH OVER BEFORE U IRON THE GOLD SLASH).
For ladies, Pin UP all your hair and use a hair net.
Get ready by 6.50 am with instruments in full uniform.
Rest well tonight and give your best shot tmr :)

time : 7.15 report
attire : band tee

if some of you guys are questioning why the reporting time is so early,there is a rational behind it.it is so that we can start practice on time.lets take for example today band prac.reporting time was 8.30 am.you guys were suppose to get your instruments ready and fallin by 8.30am. how many of you are late? how many of you started setting your instruments after 8.30? for those that are punctual,well,thank you.thank you for being punctual.what about the rest? are you going to let those who are punctual to wait for you? its unfair to them.so stop being late,and make life fair to everyone.

anyway,good job people! todays performance was good,but can be better.we had built a name for ourselves,people praise our band,and we impress many.however,there is still room for improvement :) tomorrow will be the rehersal at senja grand,its going to be quite a long day and lunch is not provided.so rememberr to have your breakfast ,drink lots of water and sleep early tonight :)

those that are not performing,enjoy your holidays and is there is holiday practice or wadd,we will inform you guys asap :)

exams are officially over!!! yay!
one last reminder for those are performing..there is bandpractice TOMORROW.PE attire, report at 8.30am.and bring your red waterbottles

don't be late.don't try to be sick.don't find excuses not to come.and don't even think of ponning tomorrow practice.
tomorrow is a very important practice for all of us.3 more days to the actual performace for prime minister.take three days and minus off all the sleeping ,eating,talking etccc time.we only have less than a day to polish up our performance,footdrills,music . the previous few performances are actually quite screwed already ,so lets do our best for every band prac from tomorrow onwards and stop screwing this time round yeah ?

performing people !! : if you dont have your band uniform,which obviously includes headgear,tunic,bandpants.. go and find jolynn and get it from her asap.and,if your gloves are not white due to contamination of mud of whatever,go and get a new pair asap,by this saturday =)
