Hey Guys!
1) Here is a gentle reminder by the welfare committee:
Please be reminded to wipe away your saliva which you have dripped/ emptied on the floor (including the band room floor), because it is EXTREMELY UNHYGENIC! For wind players who need to empty their saliva from their instruments, you might want to bring a small container to band practices, so that you can empty your saliva into the container without dirtying the floor. Thank you!
Duty list
Groupings:
1. Saxophone + Trombone
2. Clarinet
3. Euphonium + Tuba + French Horn
4. Percussion + Double reeds
5. Flutes + Trumpets
About the duty roster…
- The duty roster is according to the group numbers and is repetitive. So if group 5 is the last group and has finished their duties, group 1 will go again.
- For 5 practices, each group will be in charge of the cleanliness and tidiness of the rooms that have been used for band practice.
Carrying out of duties:
- After the end of each practice, the group in charge will be given 5-10 minutes to clean and tidy up the room(s) used. If more than 1 venue has been used, split into sub groups to tidy the respective venues.
- Section leaders are to make sure that members cooperate and tidy fast. No one is to deliberately skip fall-out.
- The welfare team will be supervising every clean-up.
During clean-up…
- Sweep the floor, pick up litter, empty the dustbin, and arrange chairs and stands neatly.
- If you see files/photocopied scores on the floor, put them on the chair nearest to it.
- If there are original scores scattered on the floor, please pass them to any of the librarians (Rachelyn, Joelle, Si Ting, Shabira or Jia Min).
- If you see instruments/ parts of instruments/ items related to instruments such as mouthpiece covers, mouthpiece, cork grease, etc, please pass them to any of the quartermasters (Belle, Isabel, Xin Yi or Robin).
2) The next band practice is this Friday (26/08/11) from 2.30pm to 6.00pm. Please come for band on time and don't talk when Mr. Samuel is going through different parts of the piece even if it may be unrelated to you. If we caught you talking so loudly that disturbs Mr. Samuel for the first time, we will only give you a warning, but subsequent times when you talk loudly, we will have to punish you. Please also control yourself from using your phone during band practices (which include sectionals, except for breaks).
3) You are suppose to produce a Medical Certificate or Parents' Letter if you are absent for that particular band practice and please inform your Section Leader or any major before hand that you won't be coming.
