Hey, so Afiqah's here to blog!

Well, just wanna say,

Unless you have valid reason like

you're sick or something.

Concert's in like 10 days time

Come on.

We need to buck up on our music!

Still not there yet.

Please put in effort to come for sectionals.

Movements all are still not together.

PLEASE COME FOR SECTIONALS

I have confidence in you all

that you all can do it!!!

So, during sectionals get all your parts right.

2008-07-01T05:21:00.000-07:00

HELLO EVERYONEE!

please please chill and dont take into heart about what happened just now.

i really wanna thank those that help carry all the instruments down when almost 3/4 of the band was not around.

THANK YOU.

and those who helped alot and QMs.

this whole month is going to be tough!

but if we all work together, i'm sure it'll be okay.

when concert comes, the instruments will be twice of the people we have.

only 29 people are performing, instruments are like doubled of that.

shouting at each other will no solve the problem :D

so, 23 more days to the concert !

2008-06-27T07:03:00.000-07:00

HEY!

I just wanna say you all have to buy at least

8 TICKETS, i repeat

at least 8 TICKETS.

They will record whoever bought the tickets kay!

Trust me!!!I saw it with my own eyes.

So, they knows exactly how many tickets you bought!

So better buy or else...haha

One more thing, today's practice wasn't that bad

But...you all need to brush up more yeah?

All songs are still unstable but of course there's improvement larh.

And, when we talk you all don't talk kay, listen to us can?

It's tough for us to talk when you all talk.

Im not asking much from you all.

Coz i'll get headache if there's too much noise.

So, next band practice i want you all to listen to us yeah?

Aiyoh, i don't wanna lecture here larh.

Okay, so Pbians buy tickets yeah?!

PLEASE WORK ON YOUR PART!!!!!

Hi all!

today yall did a great job at St. Joseph's Home.

all the QMs did an awesome job in making sure everything was in order.

*GIVES A HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE*

it's best not to think so much about the missing claves cauz what's done can't be undone.

if it's found, everything would be better.

still, thank you all for having good manners and a good attitude towards the elderly.

i hope yall learnt something from today, and that yall would not take everything for granted.

love SHANNA.

i think we did a fairly good job.
so ya. keep it up!

on the other hand..
i hope u guys would listen when the leaders give instructions.
it's really hard to get your attention these days.
and apparently being nice to you all doesn help.

i can be your friend and all..
but during band time, pls try to listen k?
i really don't know how to make u all listen..
im only left with this year.. then i'll be gone.

i thought today was quite ok..
vanessa and shanna did their sharing about the camp they went to.
it was really educational.
i did learn new points. hope u guys did. you know.. the audio thingy. haha.

then..
did the song thing again.
i wasn there, so don't know what happened.
was with the sec 1s..
we did monkey see monkey do!
was kinda fun..
me and ph kept cutting queue and went in half way to play. LOL.
yup.. hope the sec 1s enjoyed themselves..
instead of doing strokes.
well if they like it.. i think they're crazy.

haha.. then went back to do cleaning!
many ppl cleaning one small surdo.. so funny!
our cloths were so freaking dirty..
threw mine away.

yeah.. then had bonding session.
i thought it was a really nice and different way of bonding.
yup.. but we seriously needed more time.
well i could tell tht the seniors don't even know their junior's name.. and vice-versa.
see ppl shouting out other ppl's names to see how they look like.
heh. but i guess ppl didn understand what was privacy..
and a moment of silence to write the card.
but sec 2s! don't be disappointed!
i did appreciate what ppl wrote on my card.. and i think others did too!
so ya. =)
things don't always turn out the way u want it to.
but ya. learn from it and move on!

OKAY THE MOST ANTICIPATED UPDATE OF DA' YEAR.

since nobody undated, i will. the honourable task has befallen on me[stacy].

anyhoos. this is for all performing for teachers' day.
TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY.
or whatever you want to call it. teachers' day is finally here, and all the hard work put in staying back for rehearsals EVERY single day will not go to nought. Yeap, so here are just some general reminders to all who did not receive the message, and also to those who need constant reminding eg, marilyn soh.

1. Assemble in school at 6:20am sharp, at the sunken foyer.
2. Those who are able to tie FRENCH PLAITS, please take the liberty to tie it for yourself at home before you come, so you can give a hand to us helpless bozos.
3. Wear Red Band Tee Shirt and Blue Jeans, with any type of COVERED shoes.
4. PLEASE RMB TO BRING YOUR SASH TO SCHOOL with the safety pin. oh yeah, please IRON it.

Yeap. do our best tomorrow yeah.

FOR ALL BAND GIRLS,
please remember to stay back for a while after teachers day celebrations to present our teachers-in-charge[Ms Ponni and Mdm Bey] their gifts. We will present Mr J with his present during next friday's practise. Band Fund is also due, so all sec ones to sec threes, please remember to bring TWO buckeroos to the next practise for the treasurer to collect.

A congrats to the three sec ones who are selected to be rookie prefects this year, Rin, Shu Xin and Cherie[cherry]. Set good example now lol.

Thanks.

-Stacy XD

2007-08-14T06:35:00.000-07:00

HEY!

errr recently we've been having a whole lotta teacher's day rehearsals. It might not sound like we are improving but we are really! we had about nine or ten altogether or. or more. kehh. Major improvement. and yesterday, we finished the bin arrangement and it sounds pretty sassy. Big thank you to all the sec ones and twos who bother to stay back to rehersals which are always frustrating and sometimes seem redundant and useless. But its not. really. we always have fun in the end right!

The PFA punks are coming TOMORROW during CCA time to check us out, see if we're ready for the performance and all[a ground check]. They're kinda a bunch of softies lah, so they will just let us through no matter what haha. Well, tomorrow its time to show em' what we've been working out butts off for, for the past month. Haha. so cheerio.

Researching our second song for performance and it might probably be a compilation of different perankan songs. we'll be working out the mallets scores and coming up with bass rhythms soon, so that we'll be able to complete the songs within the two week deadline. We have another dry-run teacher's day rehearsal coming up very soon, probably next week or so, with all the other CCAs who are performing. Yeap. Also, on our second song, we will be collaborating with 2.1, who are going to be doing balloon making during our performance. so that, you know, everyone wouldnt get to too easily distracted.

Today's been the FIRST free day without band for the longest time, so be happy and rest lots. and be ready to start kicking ass all over again tomorrow.

and as a reslt of my TOTAL BOREDOM, i have helped to colour code everybody's posts elaborately. XD me = red, pohun = turqouise, sharon = PINK, natasha = orange. haha. sorry.

stacy, out XD

2007-08-12T03:58:00.000-07:00

heyhey!
good performance last tues!
and im fine.. really.
though i was 'squashed' between the three big surdos and the performers.
but yeah. as poh hun said.
i got back at them.. =)

anyway..
teacher's day..
haiz. i can't find the score for the second song.
so.. either we're screwed or hopefully a score would appear out of i don't know where.
and pls practice throwing the sticks as well as catching them without moving forward to catch it.
[warning to aveline and cherie] LOL.
they are PRO throwers but bad catcher.
haha KIDDING.

and yeah for the whole band..
practice your concert pieces.
CONCERT NEXT YEAR!
so buck up! =)

well im just practically emphasizing on poh hun's short post of only two lines.
yup! oh yah..
we might give you guys a break on tues from teacher's day practice.
but we'll have to see how it goes on monday before we decide.

yeah.. I MISS BAND.
do you?

-Sharon- XD

2007-08-11T00:38:00.000-07:00

Thank you petrina for coming up with the dance, and everyone else who stayed back to rehearse and prepare for the skit! The audition was alright... lots of little hiccups.

Like literally.

Oh yes, and we ARE performing for teacher's day. All the sec threes and several sec twos will be playing, and thus practices other then Wednesday and Friday practises will be scheduled. Since teacher's day encircles around the team of 'Batik-Peranakan', we will be doing TWO SONGS, one of which is a jamacian song, and the bollywood piece we did last year. We have to learn how to play these two songs in two-three weeks, so WORK HARD punks. Yeah. ha3.
