Hey bandees!
Good job for the practices since the starting of the year!
Continue with the passion and determination you have for band!

The CNY was a very good job done, but as Mr Puvin said, it's not up ot the standard yet.
So for the speech day, regardless of the presence of the parade, we're going to show the school that we have improved, and improved by a lot! Please go and work out the gimmicks at home!!(important!)

So, work hard and play hard!
Jia you!! =D

hey bandees..
yesterday was the last band practice with Mr Lim..

Let's work hard for every single piece that we are going to play in the future, be it something that is simple or hard, to show to him that his hard work and patience on us are not wasted.
Let's do it together and improve as a band and get a sliver/gold for the next SYF!

And Happy New Year to all of you and not forgetting, Mr Lim too! XD

alright been ages since i updated this blog..
OKAY PEOPLE SYF is just 12 days away, I hope you guys are as excited and enthusiastic of displaying your best!! Practice hard and be united as a team! jiayou band!!

You guys were simply awesome on monday! everything went quite smoothly. except for some minor problems there. Some of us were not on time in the morning and some guys slacked in their discipline. you guys have to control your noise level ar! (:

ok, The woodwinds has shown a massive improvement in tocatta for band. But DO NOT stop practicing; as theres always room for improvement. Especially on overture. Thanks a plenty to farid, who have been doing a good job! to push the woodwinds section in the running notes. yeay!

Not forgetting Haziq and izzuan too, who also tried their best and managed to urged on the "problematics" to attend practice. everyone Plays a part!!! So keep on being united guys!! :D :D :D

Oh yes, i noticed that you guys have no problem in rythms for both pieces, however you guys have to really WORK HARD on your dynamics, intonation, articulation and your balance thingy. Play it with feelings and emotions too!

Time will soon pass and before we know it.. there we will be on stage to showcase our talents. Keep on practising especially for these 2 weeks...

Im not telling you to put aside everything else.. like work, tuition or family outings. reschedule it, but hope you can prioritise band for the moment.
Every member plays an important role in the band!

Don't be too anxious about the results, whats important is to get ourselves in the right frame of mind. Guys, trying our best is good. But trying to get better is the key!!!
Lets put 2009 as part of our wonderful memories in future!

^^
Keypoints to the percussion section.
I noticed you guys tend to drop your sticks.
Izzuan, Please work on that as this will also count to penalties for syf :)

wait for more updates!

Anything Is Possible

Believe in Yourself,
and Remember that
Anything Is Possible

Believe in what makes you feel good.
Believe in what makes you happy.
Believe in the dreams you've always wanted to come true,
and give them every chance to.

Life holds no promises
as to what will come your way.
You must search for your own ideals
and work towards reaching them.

Life makes no guarantees as to what you'll have.
It just gives you time to make choices
and to take chances
and to discover whatever secrets might come your way.

If you are willing to take the opportunities you are given
and utilize the abilities you have,
you will constantly fill your life
with special moments and unforgettable times.

No one knows the mysteries of life or its ultimate meaning,
but for those who are willing
to believe in their dreams and in themselves,
life is a precious gift in which anything is possible.

~ Dena DiIaconi ~

2009-02-12T21:01:00.013+08:00

Good day to all alumni,first and foremost,our band will be taking part in SYF 2009,therefore the band has moved up a gear in its practices and footdrills.The choice piece and set piece have been chosen,and this yr for a change in the recording of the footdrill,the band has to march and play.With so much pressure on the kids,i really hope tt the alumni can come into play and contribute..how? simple,we're more experienced and knowledgable,so we can share what we've learnt with them,techniques and proper methods to becoming a more all rounded musician and above all a better person.

The nxt practice is on thurs frm 8am to 1pm,frm there u can check out the dates of the other practices.Theres a band camp frm the 15th to 17thdec,this is where it is much appreciated if one alumni frm each section can come down to help out,and also join us for games and bbq.

Point to take note of for alumni:

DRESS CODE-no slippers only sandals,no
dyed hair,no smoking,and for the ladies pls dress up properly,we dont wanna see
too much and we dun wan young minds wondering:)

INSTRUMENTS-due to alot
of inconvenience caused during stock takes,the alumni will not be allowed to
borrow back instruments unless with special permission frm the teacher in charge

So i really hope the alumni can come back to give their fullest support
inbetween ur busy schedules.Pls do pass this bulletin around to notify all
alumni,thank you so much

For further details,pls mail me,Mr Puvin at trumpetto55@hotmail.com.

HAVE FUN. DREAM BIG. There will be good days. And there will be bad days. There will be times when you want to turn around, pack it up, and quit. Those times tell you that you are pushing yourself, that you are not afraid to learn by trying. SO..

Cheers.

i found 10 exam tips on the net, hahaha! BANDEES ITS A MUST FOR YOU TO READ. MAS MAST MUST !!!! :DDDDDD

1. You need a dedicated study area. That means you need to find a good place to study that’s quiet, has plenty of room to spread out books and papers, and offers plenty of good lighting.

2. You should have your study tools handy – you need writing paper, note cards (like index cards), pens, markers / highlighters, colored pencils, yellow sticky notes, a small dictionary, calculator, and a folder to keep your papers organized.

3. Get a tutor or study buddy when possible, and be one yourself (you can often learn by teaching!)

4. Review your notes from class/books and rewrite them, clearing up any points necessary and reinforcing them.

5. Compare study notes and class notes with those of others. Fill in what they have that you don’t. Get help understanding what you may have missed. Highlight or underline important points.

6. Read all of your assignments, required book chapters, lessons, etc. Take notes, then go back and re-read again. Jot down questions about anything you do not understand and follow up as best you can.

7. Use practice exams or old tests when studying.

8. Learn to make outlines and outline important information from each lesson, each chapter.

9. Use note cards to make your own flashcards. Then don’t just memorize, but really try to learn the information.

10. Try to put information to music, rhyming or other word patterns; for example, remember Roy G. Biv: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet = colors of the rainbow. And how about: “My very educated mother just served us nine pancakes (or just “nuts” now) for remembering: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto (?).

Useful? grab the tips now and go! you're inviting success to come your way. ahaaaa ;)

Dear band members

The 2 1/2-day Band Convention that I had attended with another 2 of your teachers-in-charge has been an inspiration. To be together with like-minded people who feels SO STRONGLY about band (its music and its ability to mould character) really has made me think harder as to how we can improve our band.

No matter what we have to go through - the intensive practices, the discrimination (yes, whoever THAT person is on our tagboard) and the lack of confidence we face from others, we HAVE to believe in ourselves that we CAN succeed - as a band and as an individual.

It was a rush of emotions too for me as I met up with my fellow band members from my college as well as my band instructor who still IS fighting very hard to push band music to the forefront as well as trying his hardest to mould the young ones to be leaders, future leaders, whoever they are and wherever they will be, one day.

Seeing so many of his (ex) students like me at the Band Convention alone, I must say, he HAS succeeded. He HAS succeeded to inspire his band members to be LIKE him - to love music SO MUCH that they have decided to pass it on as musicians, band instructors or at least, band teachers-in-charge.

I could only tell him that I have not done my best for the band that I am in charge of now but he believes that all is not lost yet. He urged me to carry on to do what I believe and NOT to give up so easily.

It's been a cool TEN years since I left the college... but my instructor is still so inspiring. I hope that all of you band members will remember that the band is YOUR responsibility - it will NOT succeed without YOUR effort and YOUR hard work.

We need to work together.

Please DO NOT give up.

We need to move FORWARD, not backward.

And, most importantly, we need to show those people who DO NOT believe in us that we definitely CAN do it cos we have what it takes to succeed.

On a personal note, I can't be here always for you...

... but you HAVE my support..

.. NO MATTER WHAT!

Love, Miss Roz
