Hi Guys! Many many many many of you might not know me. I'm Priscilla from graduated batch 2007 (as well as the creater of this blog... HA!). Alrights! I shall head it straight. I'm currently finding tutees for Mathematics to gain some experience for tuitioning. Now, I'm pursuing my degree in NTU, majoring in Mathematics! So do drop me a text at 92388323 if u need any help in Math.

+++++
My charges are not as high as market!

sorry for this advertisement! xP

Last but not least, joining band has never been better. Most of my besties came from SKYBAND and till now we still stay in close contact. Going CP after band and eating students' meal has been our greatest memories. So SKYBAND, 4 years in secondary school is just a blink. Yes, cliche. But nothing describes secondary school better than that phrase. Seize your chance and create loads and loads of awesome memories in CCA and in class! I wish you guys all the best and hope to see you new faces 1 day if i ever popped by!

Best of lucks
Priscilla

Congratulations to SKYBAND for attaining a SILVER award this SYF2011 i am veryvery proud to be in the band :DDDDDDD

After going through SKYBAND's 5th SYF, every year I have seen improvements in the band... although we maintain a SILVER but so wad all that matters to me is the improvements and the nvr say die attitude...Ok maintain a silver with a harder song like persis isnt a really easy job.. this shows that the silver we get in SYF2011 is a higher standard silver technically :DD

Now that SYF2011 is over, it doesnt mean that we the alumnis or the current members are going to stop pursueing our goal for SKYBAND... We will always stay strong and bring every obstacle in our way :)

For the sec 4s and 5s, I am very grateful to ur participation and hardwork u put in SKYBAND for this SYF2011 and its time to focus on ur academic work which is important for ur next level of education :D but hey think abt the bright side u will still be a SKYBAND member once a member, u will always stay tgt with SKYBAND as an alumni :D I really wish u guys all the best in ur exams and do well then in future come back often and help the band :DD

For the sec 1s, 2s and 3s the next official practice marks the journey to the next syf 2013!! U may think that I am exagerrating but its true!!

To breakthrough, its very possible every band starts from square one to achieve a good award doesnt take just few mths to get it!
The current problem that I found out is that we only tends to push and work hard only when SYF is nearing or just a few mths away...to get a good award a few mths is nvr good enough!!
Like studies, if there are ppl that know their work, they will get an A, and for those that nvr study or do not understand they got for instance a C. And the average will always be lower than expected.. although trying very hard to get every single one to know their parts and play together as one is easily said than done, there will always be a few black sheeps around..if only all can play the piece 100% then our goal can be achieve :DD
Ya, its true that we forever have the chance to make the sch proud but who wans to make the first move??

Me and the rest of the alumnis had always wanted to bring the band up to greater heights. After helping out for a few SYFs, I can still get replies like nvm we can try again the next SYF ?? Even though their not the one perform but always be there to help :D U all should be grateful to them for their undying support for SKYBAND! I dunno what SKYBAND mean to U guys but to me I treat every single one as a family and music has always been my passion :D

As for Mr Kenneth Lun, he will always be there for U every practice and U nvr know how much he loves the band.. No matter what he will keep calm to teach and hardly scoldsor breaks any one of our hearts..Even though I have already be an alumni, he will always be my mentor.. U guys will nvr know how other high standard band instructor teachs their students... like i experienced it after many sch exchanges i went in my yrs...when there is a slight mispitch or wrong rhythm, the instructor/ cnductor just scream at the top of the voice and ask them to get out.. if still cant play in tune or correctly, cannot go for SYF or any competitions..
To me i dun think thats the right way to teach, everyone new is bound to make mistakes but is just how one overcomes and practice and make it into their strength!

Put all that aside, the question is how is SKYBAND going to move towards the next SYF is not up to me or any teacher in charge to choose.. as an alumni I can just come back give advice, help and teach the way of playing but I doubt that everyone will listen perhaps those who really loves music and wan/ enjoy doing well in it..
I hope the band will treasure any alumnis coming back to help...To succeed, the current band members must know how to play their instruments well... To do so, i hope that the section leader can be the one to guide the sections along every single practice :) No matter what teach until can play diedie must play hahas! first of all start from every scales for the instrument.. maybe it could be found in the standard of excellence we have ?? As long we noe how to play scales and train on the air support of holding each note minimum of 12 counts..After getting this, every single song is very easy as we can get almost literally all notes right and attainable.

I guess that all I wan to say to the band as I care alot for SKYBAND and it meant alot to me...The times I spent in the band will remain in my memory forever :D
So promise not to let anyone down and most importantly urself :) I can only advice advice and advice :PPP cheer up heys its a SILVER!!

To end off, I will still be very happy to help out SKYBAND so will the rest of the alumnis if we can :D I wish the new committee can anchor the band well and set a good example in the band!!! All the best :D

From today, lets set out the journey to success... LOVE u all always !!!!!

hello peeps!
Here are some pointers to take note of for today's practice:

For woodwinds,
-work on your running notes.
-Practice your fingerings, and if possible memorize that part of the score.

For brasses,
-lower brasses rmb to play louder in order to balance the sound of the band.
-rmb to cut when there is a tie ( for memories of friendship)

For everybody,
-do not glue your eyes on your score.
-Rmb to watch and follow the conductor.
-Rmb not to breathe between bar 6 to bar 7 of Persis.
-If possible memorize your score, esp Persis.
-Watch your intonation.

I believe everybody have also realized , the band's playing has been improving. However, there are still rooms for improvement . If we continue to put in more effort, we will definitely exceed our standard now and even possible to impress the school by getting a GOLD for SYF. With that, band will have enough budget to get our aircon fixed. ^^ Dont u all miss those days where we do not have to breathe in carbon dioxide? ;)
For that, i need the attendance to improve. Right now the thing that is most fatal to our band is our attendance. Come regularly for band and practice during sectionals, Practice makes perfect. :D
Lastly, stay tune to band blog for further notices on the upcoming practices. :)

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"

- (I'm sorry I forgot who said this quote, I think it's Mark Twain though)

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

Denise.

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

SYF Central Judging For Concert Bands 2009!
[ Please Click Here! :) ]

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.

2009-08-13T16:19:00.005+08:00

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!

Denise-the-very-irritating-and-naggy-concert-mistress signing out!

Hello Skyband!

Are you bored?

Really, really, really bored and itching to go out?

But have no idea where to go?

C'mon, let's go support Germany at Anchorvale CC. I trust that everyone knows how to go there? For people with no sense of direction (like yours truly); Take 372 from Compass Point, get down after 3 stops. (please count the one just outside compass point thanks)

Okay, I think it's 3 stops. Just press the bell when you see the stadium.

7pm. Anchorvale CC. Germany Vs Australia.

Let's go give Germany our... "dulcet" tones shall we?
Sec ones and/or Alumnus, you go under the "skyband" category as well.

See ya there!

P/S: you can go in even without tickets

Hey band members,

i seriously don't understand why none of you are interested in a saxophone concerto that is having premiere in Singapore.

Not a single saxophone player is interested.

I don't understand why the repertoire so nice you all also not interested.

IMISSBANDCAMP! D:

Sec 1s, i know you guys love me a lot right? :p

4 days 3 nights... so short right? how i wish band camp can be like 10 days 9 nights :p
i love band! :D

though we may be in a neighbourhood school band, but those top bands may not have a spirit that we have.

We're Kiasu together.
We keesiao together.
We talk nonsense together.
We get scolding together.
We have the same no-air-con-like band room together.
We laugh and play and eat and sleep and brush teeth and go toilet and sing and feel tired and slack together :D

i really miss band camp ):
BUT, band camp is the past..... now, we're going to create a better future! :D

MUST MISS ME HOR :D

with lots and lots and lots and lots of Hug and kisses and love,
ZHENG XIAOTING (:

2009-05-27T22:28:00.003+08:00

lets pray hard for the person to recover and her family members and friends and the air crews and anybody who have come in contact with her to be Swine flu free! :D den wont affect us. :p
Band members are STRONG people right? and we care for everyone around us :D

never give up no matter how bad your sound is k? (: practice makes IMPROVEMENT! :D there's no such thing as perfect cos musicians never stop learning. even great musicians still have to learn. everyone have their own flaws. when people pick on your flaws, never be too upset about it as facts always hurt people's feeling. hahaha :D but 1st, the person who pick on you must be better than you la. hahaha! :D there's no perfect band. but a united band like SKYband right? (: hahaha :D together, with everyone's heart, great music will be produced :D

NEVER GIVE UP! :D

Hola Skyband.

Seeing that we only have 1 hour of school on Friday, just to get our report books, the time's been changed to

10am-1pm.

Please spread the message around and Sec ones are to come as well.

By the way, when we mean 10am, we mean getting your bottoms on the chair at 10am. NOT reaching the music room at 10am, is that okay?

We need the practice. Section Leaders, you know which parts to focus on. Members, you know which parts you are weak at. P R A C T I S E!

P/s: Please remember to spread this message.

Denise.

It has been a long time in Skyband. Four years to be exact. Four years is a really long time. Every year i go through the pain and loss seeing seniors step down and leave us. Each year we get stronger and play better, recruiting new band members, teaching and honing their skills. We try our best. Now, we step down. We leave you guys to takecare of the future juniors, to love and discipline them like how we did. Life has to move on. I will come back as often as possible, just dont think we're irritating. Hahaha. Anw, I wont forget all the fun times we had. Every performance, every Cip, every new batch of sec ones( no matter how dumb you guys looked when you came in). Life in band was fulfilling. It was more than that, it was BAGUS! But, now is the time to step down and get back to reality, studies, O lvl. All of you will go through this again next year, and soon it will be your turn to step down. Just remember, Skyband did help in your development, Skyband is PART OF YOU. No matter how old you are, sitting in a broken down rusty old Old Folks Home, You are a Skyband member. No natural disaster will change that fact (: Just make a pact in your heart with yourself that you WILL come back to visit whenever you can, no matter how rare or how often, Pay a visit to our Skyband. Even if you dont remember a single face, We're still family (: Just of musical blood i guess. Haha. Appreciate and enjoy the time you have left in Skyband, cus i didnt do it enough. I miss everyone. I miss you all. Much as i hate to step down, I wish i could turn time back. A simple smile and a heartwarming laugh is enough to take you far, nurture love in the band. Go all out and do your best and dont let us down (:

And yes, we aimed for a Gold. We're not lousy. The best we did, we maintained standards. We got a Silver. It doesnt sound as magnificent or victorious like a Gold. But a Silver isn't bad either. Sad as i was we cried like hell, cussing and cursing, but no. We dont blame no one. No fault. Nothing. No matter how lousy we are, how fantastic, WE ARE ONE BAND ONE SOUND. We get together to become SKYBAND. We are not individuals. No one to be blamed for, but all to be thanked that we achieved a Silver. There are many factors to why we didnt achieve Gold. But, it's not to late to correct and work harder, for you guys. WORK HARD AND ACHIEVE A GOLD FOR US. You dont have to promise. All you need to do is your BEST. And that is all that we ask. EFFORT.

i congragulate everyone, for our wonderful achievement of SILVER. We must be proud for our glory. Just like me,
I'M PROUD TO STEP DOWN WITH A SILVER! (:

I intentionally put silver in Gold colour, because for all it's worth, all the effort the love the fun in the process, Silver is as good as a Gold (:

with truckloads of luck, love and joy,

JoanChuaWeiying, out. (;

2009-04-03T23:36:00.002+08:00

All The Best, SKYBAND!

This shows Sky Band wishes for SYF.

Through this, we can see that everyone was working hard together as a big family.

One Band, One Sound!=D

Don't give up people! :D i dare say today is the best day we had together before the seniors step down :D i think, girls, our hair... is really nice :p i still don't bear to wash it actually :p hhahahaha :D guys.... hahaha, the day i see most people's forehead! :D

no matter what award we get, we must always remember the happy moments we had k? :D
the laughter, the joy, the tears, the madness and the noisiness our band have. the award is something, BUT, the process is EVERYTHING! like what Hanwei say, once a band, forever a band. you and me become friends mostly becos of band. :D everyone, MUST REMEMBER ME HOR! i'll go back often k? :D cos i really love band. you people made me life in band. w/o you guys, band will be boring. hahahaha :D

It is okay to get Silver, as we tried our very best and we did achieve what is expected of us.
We came in on time and followed the beat.

Hope to see improvements and be sure that i will be back after my O level to help you all. Thank you for all these wonderful memories, and i think that everyone of us will cherish it.
Today, i can see alot of heartfelt scenes and this is one of the things that we must have.
REMEMBER THIS ALWAYS : Have confidence when you are playing and Focus.

ONE BAND, ONE SOUND. ONCE A BAND, FOREVER A BAND.

Remember that always.
All our Alumnis have put in alot of effort in this band. And they will always be remembered.

My last message is, Believe you can do it and you will achieve.

Hello skyband!
Its been a long and tiring preparation for SYF. But we're now close to the finishing line! All we have to do is just push ourselves and sprint a little faster!!
Let's all work HARDER, and BETTER! (:
All the best to OUR SYF! We can do it! Gambatte! :D

"When you've done your best, you can achieve whatever level you want."
- Mr Kenneth Lun

With all the luck and love in the world, JOAN! (:

2009-03-26T01:00:00.006+08:00

Hey there! It's Dalston here (again).

Okay, anyway we only have exactly a week left before the performance.
Nono! We only have 6 more days. 2 more practices.

So really do practice hard and give your full attention to Mr Lun as well as the two pieces.
Inculcate this undivided attention into even the simplest things, such as warm ups and tunings.

6 more days left people! Let's give it our all for this last last lap of the race shall we? Jiayou people! =D Work hard!

Oh yeah, please really do do take care of yourself.
Sleep early, drink more water, and the usual stuff that your mum used to nag to you.
Now, the last thing we want now is for you to fall sick right?
This 1 week is really crucial. Please do do take care of yourselves!

Work hard Band! I'm sure we'll do just fine during the performance!! =D
Cheers! Smile!! =D Take care!! =D

2009-03-22T20:20:00.003+08:00

love,
xiaoting (:

2009-03-22T09:27:00.026+08:00

GOOOOOD MORNING SKYBAND!!!! =D
Dalston here!!

It's Sunday 22nd March today.
We have only 10days left till syf.
10days, 4 official practices left till syf. Now that's not a lot of time left isn't it?

Mr Lun did the sums and currently we only have 4 practice x 3 hours = 12 hours left.
That's exactly half a day left. Woah half a day, it's all there is.
Seriously, it's either we make it or break it.
But... I strongly believe that SkyBand can make it! =D
"Band Number 56, Seng Kang Secondary Symphonic Band, GOLD!"
so cool right! haha.

Anyway anyway, back to the serious topic!
We have only 10 days left till syf.
If we want a GOLD, it ain't gonna drop from the sky.
We have to work hard for it.

If you guys feel like giving up right now, please please pleaseeee don't.
You might feel that Band is taking up a lot of your time.
But Band, it's really the last lap of the race.
We really have to buck up and 'chiong' the last lap.

10 days, 4 practices, 12 hours.
It's all Mr Lun and all our teachers ask of you.
12 hours of solid concrete undivided attention in band.

SkyBand has already taken up so much of your time for past 1 year.
so much sacrifice,
so much commitment,
so much laughter,
so much joy
so much fun,
so much tears,
so much time,
and so so so much scolding from your Section Leaders and Mr Lun.
Is it worth to throw all that down the drain just because you lose motivation now?
I'm sure the answer is pretty obvious right? Obviously NO! =D haha.

SkyBand! Give it your all for the last lap of the race.
Like Ms Tan said,
Make sure we have 150% so we can still give it 100% if we panic.

Jiayou SkyBand! Practice hard.
Remember to take good care of yourselves too. =D
Drink more water, get ample rest and do not skip meals.
All the Best SkyBand! We can do this! =D

Signing out with loads of love. =D

2009-03-14T12:40:00.001+08:00

hello band! :D
come on, lets work hard together! :D it's our last lap already. work hard and together we can achieve what we want! :D
no pain, no gain (:
GO SKYBAND!!! :D:D:D:D

your lovely CM,
xiaoting (:

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

2009-02-28T11:42:00.003+08:00

Hi Sky Bandits!
Joan here. I see that everyone is starting to lower our standards and discipline already. I admit that i'm starting to slacken too. But what Miss Tan said, no screamed yesterday was true. What she said has really set back the SYF mood and put us back on track. She really wants the best for us, otherwise she would not have bothered to even patrol and scold us. So let's buck up and start working hard again! SYF is in less than a months time, bout 4-5 weeks, 3 practices per week so it leaves us with less than 20 practices. Here's a lil reminder, the little formation with did for our graduating seniors last year. We put in alot of hard work, and we succeeded. We REAP WHAT WE SOW. Always remember that. All we have to do now is to just practice hard and work hard, for just one month. All the best SkyBand! Let's do ourselves proud with a Gold (:

2009-02-23T20:10:00.002+08:00

Band members please take note*

Please go and check whether you can wear your SYF uniforms and Bottoms..
And please go and buy a pair of court shoes or leather shoes if it doesn't fit you..
For those who want to buy the SYF uniforms, please prepare some cash first..
We will ask the tailor to come on around February end or Start of March.

Please rmb to check whether you can wear or not..
Thank You !

Good luck for common tests !

HELLO EVERYONE!

well, it's your concert mistress, ZHENGXIAOTING here again! :D
sigh.. saying about concert mistress, i'll be stepping down after SYF. ): and will no longer be the concert mistress in SKYband anymore. ):
time really flyyyyyyyyy~ when i first join band i was being accused by a senior of anyhow touching instruments :p that was long time ago..............................

OK. get back. :D

SYF is coming! real soon.
people, it's time to wake up and face the reality that we're not a very good band. so we must work hard! school is spending so much money on us, ( eg: hiring tutors for every single section. paying for almost 70 to 80% of our trip to korea. ) we must not let the school down!

something to say about our set piece:
PRACTICEEEEEE! there's still quite a few parts that we're not really good. as in....... you know the common mistake make by our band la~ hahahaha :D practice hard o! :D

something to say about our choice piece:
omg! the 1st movement is damn cool! but we still need to..................PRACTICE! *echooo*
2nd movement: WA PIANG. i hate this man :p full value! calming!
3rd movement: i'm DEAF. i think this is the part where i'll have heart attack. i think when we play this part is like....... more than 130 decibels. which is equivalent to those rock concerts -.-
tempo everyone! :D but i think this is the highest, fun, tiring & challenging part in the whole piece. hahaha :D

everyone! lets work hard together and achieve what we want! BEAT THE OTHER! *ahhh bishhh* idiot. -.- not that BEAT. is "BEAT" OTHERS! :D

xiaotinggggggggggggg :D

2009-01-18T00:14:00.002+08:00

HELLO to all bandits and everyone out there,
i'm posting this post to YOU. Yes, YOU. I've returned the tagboard to it's usual place as i believe that this is not a band blog if it doesnt have a tagboard. The purpose of this blog is for us to communicate right? So i have decided to create a new account to start afresh for a new year, and also to return this convenience to you guys. Dont you think it's so lame to give up the convenience and privilege of the whole band just because of the fear of some moronic faggot who might just come along to spam and tarnish our band's reputation? Not like it's very reputable. Although i do agree that by having spammers it bonds us and forms unity among us, it's also fun but hey, we want to be a reputable band. Not some impulsive lot who scolds and vulgarise among the low down faction. So NO SPAMMING is allowed. Absolutely NONE. I therefore will take up the chore and hassle to delete all tags and spams and ban the spammer if necessary. It's my responsibility because i'm the one who insisted to put the tagboard back, although Hanwei decided against it. I have given him my word and I WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES if there is a spammer. By all means, you guys can spam. But please be aware that i will block you with immediate effect when i see the tag. By putting the tagboard back, I'm helping to return this privilege and advantage to you guys, and i'm prepared to bear this responsibility. So you, each and every one of you better appreciate this and DO NOT abuse this privilege, because if i see any spams, THAT IS THE END. Then you all will need to wait for another motivated caring and nobel leader to fight for the right of keeping the tagboard here again. Till then, please treasure and appreciate the tagboard.

JoanChuaWeiYing, (I should win the Nobel Prize) out.

Here are the pictures from Mr Tang's BBQ!

2009-01-07T20:39:00.000+08:00

Hello.. Due to too much spamming lately, i have decided to clear the tagboard, if u need any enquires on anything, pls ask any comittees or come straight to me..

hello! :D
XIAOTING HERE :D

to the spammer who use ahlong, mengliang and joan's name, well, i can only say that you're really a COWARD.
Oh yes, I’ve seen your very interesting comment right there.
hahahaha :D
if you don't like them, please look for them personally and not to come here and dirty our band tagboard.

Since I have your IP address and such,
do note I will report to the authorities if you will respond in some negative and uncouth manner.

I suggest you stop your gross comment using other people's name, and get on with life!
I welcome and do look forward to your reply, whether its an apology, or another spamming session.

Dearest band members,
I'm here to INFORM ALL OF YOU OUT THERE, I'm the REAL JOAN CHUA WEIYING. The spams were not done by me, mengliang nor weilong(duh) It's so perverted and outrageous, we are upright leaders, unlike some downright scandalous spammer who ridiculously spam nonsensical perverted fictional things. YOU BETTER WATCH OUT. We already have a suspect in mind. Dont imitate us, USE YOUR REAL NAME. I've not used any vulgarities nor profanities in this post. SPAMMER YOU WATCH OUT. WE ARE WAITING..

JOAN CHUA WEI YING FROM SKYBAND COMMITTEE, CLASS 4E4. SENGKANG SECONDARY SCHOOL.
