Hey guys,
How's japan trip? I guess all of you have lot of fun...Well, I did. Especially for the exchange programme with Sakuragi Junior High School and Atsugi High School. I really hope that those of you who went to Japan can sit down and reflect what you had learnt all this 5days. Let me tell you that if you really sit down quietly alone and think about it, you really have already learn something. This is what the instructor at OBS Camp taught me during my camp. All of the different school leaders from CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls' School, Serangoon Garden Secondary School and others really sit down and think through and they all wrote amazing reflections not many people would think about.
All of you are musicians and you all should be mature enough to do what is right and what is wrong even if you do not want to be a musician in the future. For me, by just listening to the bass clarinet players playing, I had learnt several things like better tone, good rhythm and many other good and positive learning skills. See...If I can do it, why can't you? Nothing is impossible in the world. It is not that you cannot do it but you do not want to try it.
I want to see lot of improvement from all of you and teach the one who did not go for the trip to react,respond and other stuffs related to music and discipline. SYF is just 4 months away and our basic skills are still not there. More importantly, our SYF video have not done at all and most of the sec1s and 2s do not have the basics foot drills skills. I'm going to be very particular and serious during 27 and 28 Dec as I do not have many times for all of you to practice anymore as school is reopening.
Some things need to be reminded(Note that Sec1 are Sec2 and so on):
Sec2s: You are a senior in the band now and joining the committee for most of you very soon after the SYF and you need to be acting like a senior. NO MORE WHINING AND ACTING LIKE A BABY...Honestly, it looks ridiculous....
Sec3s: You are stepping up to be leaders soon too regardless of being Section Leaders or others. The Sec4s are passing down their knowledge and skills to you all so that you can learn and lead the band until you step down. Like what our former Drum Major, Gordon taught me, when you come back to band after you had graduated, would you want to see your band members running about, acting immature and the standard that you had keep it up and see it regressed? Most importantly, do not talk back to the sec4s. During the trip, when we seniors speak to you, you talk back. For example, when I teach you how to improve your tone, I told you that long tone is the only way and do not feel like slacking when doing that, you should not say that you did not feel that way..I'm just telling you what you should not do and not that you are doing it. And do not act that you know more stuffs than your seniors as it is quite disrespectful. Just suggest what your seniors can do and not speaking in a harsh tone.
Sec4s: We are finally the Super Seniors in school. This four months are the last time we can lead and improve our band members before we step down for our national examination. So cherish it or you will really regret it when you miss the band. We are the last batch who was taught by Mr Wong and Ms Tan and you all should know how SYF is very important and serious. Remember the audition for SYF? It is very serious and tough for most of us and many of us failed the audition but we retry and try again until we can get into the competition. More serious case, THIS IS OUR LAST SYF!!!! So do your best and get at least a Silver or Gold for our Kent Ridge Symphonic Band!!!!
Sec5s: Congratulation to all of you passing to Sec5s!!!! Please do your best in teaching Sec1s,2s,3s and 4s how our band was like before and improve to a gold band standard!!! You can see you have a VERY, VERY role to do. And same as the things I told the Sec4s, it is really your last SYF for your whole life! CHERISH IT!
Sorry for all the naggy speech but I was too engrossed saying to all of you. Just remember that, NEW YEAR, NEW AND GOOD ATTITUDE! And please wake up!! SYF!!!! For those who went to japan, remember that you have a very important role to do. And remember about the PowerPoint!
Your Naggy Drum Major, ZiLiang :)
