hey juniors~ WAYNE POSTING HERE. the SO CALLED "BOTAK" in the band. LOL!
eh..got something to tell u all. after tmr, its going to stick into ur heart for life. its a once in a lifetime thing so yup. cherish it. u all will get wat i mean by tmr. some may shed tears after u bid farewell to ur sec4s but still, dun let this take ur heart out. ITS NOT OVER. u all still have a long way to go. so pls..dun get dishearted or anything. the seniors WILL BE BACK. ;) its only a matter of time when they will be around and not. wat i really wan to say is tht...after tmr, dun go dreaming abt it saying "how how how!!! NO MORE SEC4s!!! cannot play liao. NO! DUN ALWAYS DEPEND ON UR SENIORS. WORK HARD FOR UR SECTION URSELF AND FOR THE BAND. ESPECIALLY BAND. which is everything. lol.

yes i noe i am abit too much but...still, dun go emo ar~ some of u all i noe u always emo. DUN BE EH. lol. keep ur hopes and effort high in the sky! ur seniors YES they ARE GREAT! BUT, 1 things for sure is tht 1 day u all juniors still have to get off ur seniors backs and start BEING A SENIOR. if u noe wat i mean. tht would be great...ahh. i dun tink i am explaining this well...but still..i dun wan u all got so worked up when the seniors are leaving. I MYSELF OSO WILL GET WORKED UP ALOT BUT, perservere.(I dunno how to spell. lol. forget) have to perservere. some ppl keep their tears in cause they wan to show the seniors how STRONG THEY ARE. if u arent strong...and u cant handle it. cry it out. it will make u feel better. =) aiya..y am i saying this now...worry too much liao. lol...so ya...dun get dishearted. its not the end of the world. =) thrs still SYF!!! DUN FORGET! =) jyjy juniors~ ALL THE WAY~ miss ur seniors more GOOD BUT DUN TINK TOO MUCH. spoils u. u wont be able to concerntrate and focus on wat u are doing if u tink too much. so ya...without or with ur seniors, the band is still on the stage. =)

try to reflect on wat i just said. if it does not make any sense to u. then er...tell me. haha.
i mean..seriously. =) reflect. plsplspls reflect. MUHAHAAHA. look into a mirror..and tink...

posted by Wayne himself, Me and I.

Happy Birthday Hui Yu!!!

May you be happy and cheerful always!

And improve your high notes so it won't sound like a slaughtered chicken.. hees

and and... of course, love yourself more!!! hehe... =)

Hello dear juniors, I’m writing on behalf of most of our seniors who think the same way as I do, including Yunhan, Wayne, etc..

Dear juniors, firstly, you guys have to improve and realise what is happening around you all already. It is already June, and some of you still cannot play your notes or instrument well. You’ll be joining the seniors in a few months time. You guys really have to practice to rise up to our standard or even better. Your batch will be joining us in SYF next year. We don’t want to get a mere COP right? I’m sure we all want to maintain our standard or silver or more.

Secondly, you guys have to respect Miss Jama. Whenever Miss Jama conducts or talks to you all, do not cut her off. WAIT for her to finish talking first, then raise up your hands and ask her whatever question you have for her. When Miss Jama gives you all a break, please spend the break time to look through your scores, rest or make do with it as a water break. You know what you cannot do – eat cup noodles.

Next, year by year, as sec fours of each year leave, our standard goes down, and down and down … we definitely don’t want that. WE want to improve. WE as a whole band want to improve to a standard, better than the previous batch. YOU guys want that too right? Nothing comes easy, and it takes time to play your instrument well. 10 minutes of practice a day would do. I don’t think you guys will study the whole day right? Take out 10 minutes of your leisure time to practice! It works and helps!

And, when seniors get punished because of you guys, its not entirely your faults! It is also our fault! We didn’t teach you properly, we’ve neglected you all, so don’t be sad, or feel guilty or whatever. Prove and show to us that you guys can do it! Don’t worry much, because we now have muscles:D cool huh? *shows off* XD

This really short message here from most of our seniors, we want to tell you to really start working hard already. Some of you may say it is ‘just a CCA’ and that we ‘no need to take things so seriously’ but BAND is not just a CCA. It is a CCA whereby you discover your leadership qualities, you learn music, and you enjoy music together, make music together. I’m sure some of you have this really special feeling when you play in a band arrangement right? You feel this really indescribable feeling... that band music is actually really cool! You get to listen to different instruments and their parts, and when put together, how magnificent it sounds right? Yep, so I hope that after you guys read this message, you’ll would really improve and stuff yea? Prove to the other seniors you can do it! Show us that you can on Monday, and the other practices.Please reflect after reading this message.

- Your lovely seniors XD

Homework:

Etude No. 7 & 9 (Due on wed, 18.06.08)

Pieces you should have in your file:

What A Wonderful World
Tomorrow
Beauty & the Beast
Cabaret
Quiet Moments
Memory

"When I scold,
I'm not mad, but sad

When I'm angry,
It's just that I know,
I know you can do better

When I smile,
It's because I am proud

When I laugh,
It's just simply,
Simply cuz' of your laughter

It doesn't matter,
If I appear like a clown

It doesn't matter,
If I appear like a fool

What matters most,
Is nothing else but YOU

Though I might not be perfect,
Though I might not be the best,
I promise you this,
I'll do my best at the very least

The path ahead might not be smooth,
No one said it will be,
But if I dare to take this chance,
Will you be walking together with me? "
- Jamakyah Adhar (14.06.08)

I know this might sound a bit weird. But, I just really want to say Thank you for teaching me to know what it is like to feel happy even though i only heard one note that's in tune, what it is like to feel excited even when i'm feeling very tired, what it is like to feel angry and disappointed when i expected more, what it is like to go around the school to find a place to practise when there's flies everywhere, what it is like to make myself think of weird (sometimes funny) stories to tell you guys to relate to. Thank you for sharing and giving me a chance to befriend you.

each and everyone of you is like a piece of jigsaw puzzle, and it'll never be complete even if a piece of us is missing..

I really hope we'll all be able to walk through this together till the very end...

Okay...I have no idea what happened today.Why did the seniors have to get punished?All I know is that we were the cause of it...so...if anybody would kindly tell me what happened I'll appreciate it.

Anyways,I'm not posting this just to beat you all down,even after today...I feel that I am guilty as well..I bet it was because of our drills...seriously,it's not up to standard,to what standard?to a standard that we don't have to repeat the command.I know I'm not anyone to say anything about drills because I'm not good at it myself.But I make it an effort to LISTEN to what the seniors say about my mistakes,bend knees,bang not loud enough...and I take the initiative to actually do something about it.So I really hope you guys follow...

Mmmm...I don't really have much to say,except for sorry to the seniors and work hard..juniors...like I said...the future of this band is in YOUR hands...please,work hard.

(Side note : I will not be here tomorrow,participating in some competition.Good luck,try not to make An Chun angry @_@)

HEY People!

JiaJia here.

i am sure that you all are feeling guilty about today right ?
Seniors have done 50 pumpings because of us !

Haiz. Hopefully next time we will and MUST do and take things seriously no matter how sian we are ok ?
Dont dissappoint the seniors anymore especailly the sec 4s. They are stepping down in 8 days time !
Treasure them and dunt dissappoint them alrite ?
we cant deppend on them anymore !
we HAVE to be independent !
YEAHH. haha.
i know i am naggy lahh.
BUT please lets all improve together and make band a more fun and happy CCA to be in .

anyway, SORRY seniors !

hello!!!
hmmm.. how come the blog's not really updated... webmasters, please do your job ya.. the 2 handsome guys, please do something ya..

I would say that the trip to Thailand was alright.. You guys know why? Simply because you guys weren't there! Anyway, i hope everyone brought your instruments home and diligently practise everyday ya.. There's this saying that goes:

" When you don't practise for one day, YOU know it. When you don't practise for two days, your TEACHER knows it. And when you don't practice for three days, EVERYONE knows it."

Hopefully everyone is doing ok. Did the outing materialise in the end? Or when is the outing going to be? Treasurers, can you update us as to how much we've collected for the month of May please? Thank you!! (We must have collected quite a lot right.. You guys should know the reason why..)

Hmmm.. As for what will be doing for June will be as follows:

Concert Eb, F, G
Arpeggios for Concert D, Eb, F, G
Treasury of scales: No. 5 & 9
Essential Elements: No. 112- 140
Tone & Technique: No. 7
Sight Reading
Songs

See, this will definitely keep you busy till our next band practice right? As mentioned before we left for Thailand, the next piece that we will play is dependent on how well you show me you can cope with What A Wonderful World. =)

Practices left till POP Rehearsal: 8!! (24 hours = amt of hours in ONE day)

SO, what are we waiting for? Let's show people we can bring the house down and rock the school hall! Let's do this together!!

We CAN!
We SHOULD!
We MUST!
We WILL!
