Hi people!!
Just a reminder for all of you. There will be a open house for our school on 28NovSaturday(9am to 3pm). All of you are expected to memorize the ensemble scores by heart as you will be playing them on the day itself. Make sure u entertain them with your performance!
Those people who will be overseas on that day, or couldn't make it due to some reasons, please inform Mr kenneth pek by next week.
Also,all of you are reminded to pay $5 for the Band camp and $2 for the Band fund to Hao Shi latest by next Monday.
Anyway, i hope that you guys learned a lot of new skills during the tutorials we had on this few practice, especially on the techniques and how to make full use of your sectionals time to practice. Make sure you do whatever the tutors had u to practice on for every section.
Brasses are encouraged to borrow home your mouthpiece every practice and make sure u buzz for at least 15mins every day as the tutors have said. It will really help you improve on your tone and playing. Trust me!!
Your DM :)

Hi band-ies! I hope you guys have been doing fine on the 2 band practices where me & keegan were not around. For your information, to some of you, we did not skip band.. We went for a 5day Band NCO Camp :D And we shall come back and teach you people more skills that we have learned from there. Since some of you requested me to update the blog, i shall do it!!
So,I think it is proper for me to post the Holiday Band practices date here.. For those who still have not given your consent forms, please pass it to Nelson,thanks!
We will keep you updated more about the band practices date, and the camp. Be patient...! :p
Another thing is, we need talented & creative people from our band who can draw and design, to design a new Band T-Shirt for this year. So please pass this message around, if you think he/she will be interested to. Thanks!
