Band Practise Resumes:

Love,
Denise.

For the sake of those who do not have the form, or have sadly misplaced it, band practice during the Sept holidays are as follow:

Monday (07 September 2009)

• 9.00AM to 11.30AM - Woodwinds Sectionals.*
• 12.00PM to 2.30PM - Brasses Sectionals*
• 2.30PM to 5.00PM - Percussion Sectionals.*

Wednesday (09 September 2009)

• 9.00AM to 5.00PM - ALL

Friday (11 September 2009)

• 9.00AM to 5.00PM - ALL

Warning:

Latecomers/Truants will be punished. Attendance is Compulsory.

We need the practice, don't complain. The performance is on 19 September, am I not right? We're left with little time to prepare for the performance. I am sure you guys do not want to make a fool of yourselves on stage.

Work on your intonation as a section, look out for accidentals, when in doubt, question.

"Ask a question and you're a fool for three minutes; do not ask a question and you're a fool for the rest of your life"

Do you want to be a fool for the rest of your life?

* Please come at the alloted time, you may leave after sectionals.

Click the link given above, *points up* to see the preview of our SYF photo, then decide if you want it or not. We need at least 75% worth of orders before the orders can be sucessfully sent. So for those picky people, go have a look-see and tell Michelle A.S.A.P (preferably by next friday).

C'mon, this SYF is very memorable, no? 10 years down the road, you would regret not buying a momento for this moment, trust me. Buy buy buy! It's cheaper than the prices last time, I think. Buy it if you like it, or for memory's keepsake?

P/s: Buy it for the sake of the graduating members? It's their last SYF as a Skyband member already - for BOTH the sec 4s and sec 3s. (heh)
Denise.

Band Practise resumes tomorrow at 2.30pm. Everyone is to be seated by 2.30pm.
No excuses for not coming.
Late coming and no valid reason for not attending band is subjected to punishment.

Please make your orders from Michelle.

Hello Skyband!

As you have already noticed, the Common Tests are here!

And as a third party with absolute interest in this matter, I ought to say that you guys should seriously start studying for the common tests.

Yes I know, I know. You guys must be thinking "Common test only, no biggie. Anyhow do also can."

For those who wants your scholarship money. (i.e: Being in the top 20 in level) or those who just wants to improve, please please please study for the common tests, doing badly in your common tests is just gonna negatively affect your results.

I'm a perfect example. My results got pulled down MANY times thanks to the common tests. I presume no one wants that to happen right? So you guys should start studying! Please ask around for stuff that you have absolutely no idea in, no harm asking right? (besides, as a performer, you ought to have thick skin)

We have to show the world that we skyband members are not known only for musicality, we have to show the world that we are smart too, that we can study and not just a pretty face.

Tada. Please study, now! What are you doing here?
Good luck, and all the best!
