Hey band =D
Firstly, let us congratulate ourselves for getting a silver award in the NBC. Maybe some of us would have felt that we did badly because our original aim was for a gold. However, let us not forget that we had only a few practices for preparation of the competition, so let's be more optimistic ya? Just keep in mind that our ultimate aim is the SYF, and let's work hard for it =D

Secondly, please be reminded that band resumes this Wednesday, 14 July at 2.30pm because we need to work for NDP School Parade. Please don't be late and tell the leaders if you are coming late/ not coming. Be accountable to your own attendance =D Call up your friends too =D Also, please pass a copy of your new timetable to the leaders latest by Friday, 16 July.

Lastly, have a good rest!!! I know it's been tough on everyone, banding here and there everyday, but let us persevere on. Rest hard, play hard, BAND hard too!!!

Cheers,
Alson



Ha, hello, I bet everyone is tired after the playing today and the time we were dismissed eh. Well, we did our best(I suppose), and got ourselves a Silver award. However, I think, we could still improve on a lot more things and do better for the SYF next year! But for now, we have to concentrate on National Day, we'll be having a one-and-only full dress rehearsal on 23rd of july. I hope you all will be more serious in band and really work hard, ha. Well, have a good rest tomorrow and see you on Wednesday! :D

Yo (: Anyway, i too supposed that everyone had contributed their best effort for the competition just now . Dont be dishearten or disappoint so much by the result if it did not came out as expected by you . Hmm, at least we're not the last band according to percentage and we're in the average ^^ . I believe that we'll be able to do better in the future competitions and performances if we maintain a better attendance, bonding and discipline . The next major competition would probably be the SYF and lets aim to achieve a Silver or even GOLD ++! Hahas, of cos its possible if we truly commit to band as well as continue to practice our instruments diligently! We'll hope to see a change in everyone's attitudes in the future practices and that our juniors will learn more good than bad things from the seniors . Lastly, may God continue to bless and guide us (:!

Greetings to everyone:) after our NBC!
Time flies fast! I'm proud that you all did well for the "performance" and it's really a short time for us to prepare... Nevertheless, School NDP is coming in our way and I hope that we all can take this precious remaining rehearsals a challenge for ourselves! Do prepare yourself for getting sweaty:)
Looking forward to NDP.2010.
