Hey members who are performing for the NDP,

please remember what we all did today. Go home, think about the steps. Well, I am here to post the steps for the second row. only the steps, I will try to add in when to stop in the music. And for your information, this is for tuesday.

For (Where Eagle Soar),
First melody: Mark time 1/8, forward 2/8, mark time 1/8
Second melody: forward 1/8, mark time 1/8, backward 1/8, low mark time
Drum Solo: Do the gimmicks.

For (Fiero),
First melody: Mark time 1/8, move to your left/right side depending on the side you are at, (people on the left move to your left, vice versa) Move according to your steps, (closest person to the left move one step then forward 7 steps, 2nd closest, move 3 steps then forward 5...this should be done within 1/8) Move to the opposite side (meaning, if you are on the left, you move right, vice versa) 1/8. the oppsotite side 4 steps. then mark time 4 steps.
Second Melody: pinwheel (split into 2) 4 steps to form a straight line. mark time 4 steps. Forward 4 steps. Mark time 4 steps. Backward 1/8. Stand there and play. Those who went to IMM, will know what to do during the last part of the song.

For (Swan Lake),
Pinwheel 12 steps, pinwheel 12 steps. (for people on the left side, the first pinwheel, the pivot is the person at the extreme left, same for the right. Then for the second pinwheel, form back a horizontal line, pivot is the last person of the four-people group)

For (Happy Feet),
First melody: stand there and play.
Second melody: move your body from left to right.

For (It's my Life),
First melody: Move forward until the space between you and the line in front of you is two steps. DON'T mark time.
Second melody: Move your feet from left to right.
Last part: kneel down according to your line (like if you are on the second line, kneel down when it reach the second note) at the end of the three notes, check up (meaning you stand up) check down (instrument down).

Okay? I know it is hard to understand with it being words only. but try to understand. if you don't know, call your senior who are performing and ask them. For people on the second row, can ask me via facebook or msn. Please do buck up. I expect everyone to be practising at home, and improvement in footdrill, which includes postures and do everything with force, (and music) on Monday.

-Aihui
