YO WASSSSSUPP! Hahas! How's rehearsal today? I hope that everyone has enjoyed it. As told, we will be having a perfomance @ somewhere around Sentosa on 5th September 2010. It is on a Sunday afternoon! Everyone is supposed to participate in the performance and you'll rewarded with CCA Points as well as experiences. Please inform the teachers, majors and Mr Samuel if you have something really urgent on during that period of time.

The next Band Practice is on this Friday, 27 August. Please report to the Band Room by 2pm. The Room will be opened at around 1.45pm and instruments are expected to be set up by 2pm. Members who are dismissed later than 2pm, you're given 30mins to have ur lunch and come to Band afterwards. For example, If XXX dismissed at 2.45pm, XXX must reach the Band Room by 3.15pm. Do keep this in mind (:

Lastly, below are the confirmed songs we'll be playing:

Manhattan Beach
Singapura Medley
March Together
Bad Romance


Everyone is expected to have their own copies of the scores by now. Fees will be charged if you ask the librarians for extra copies. The Librarians will be deciding on the amount of the Fees and it will be added to the Band Fund. I hope that everyone will practice hard for this performance and make it an impressive and successful one (: .

As requested by some members, here are the recording of the concert version of Bad Romance as well as the original one :D If you have nothing to do, I suggest you to differentiate the rhythms between the two similar songs and play the piece with the right rhythms (: I have also included Manhattan Beach but i cant find the other two pieces, Sorry... Enjoy! :



Bad Romance ( Concert Band Version <:)



Bad Romance, Original Sound Track (Lady GAGA :D)





Manhattan Beach Sousa :D
