Hello!

This is one of the last few entries I am going to post here le...Graduating~...
Sigh...

OK, some updates.

30 March:
OUR SYF!!!
That day was em...quite scary for many of us, right?
We've gotten a BRONZE!!!haha(:

Trumpeters, we know our standards lah hor?
I know I have also made some mistakes. Yes, music cannot be perfected.
BUT HEY, we should learn from our mistakes and IMPROVE is the key.
And, we should not push the blame each other.Remember?
This is not the way trumpeters should behave.So change.
BE UNITED YA!!!!!

Speech day 2009:
Played Yagi Bushi.
Although we've improve on some parts in the piece, we should keep it up.(:

Sports day:
Er... I think we've only won one medal.haha.BUT good still.LOL
Finally one after don't know how many years.(((:
YAY!


OK more reminders. ;)
Please be more independent in the future.Sometimes, we must learn by ourselves.
And as you all know that some of you all were not from the trumpet section from the start or joined us very late , so please improve to the standard you should be in. Should not have the mentality that you only came to join the trumpeters at a later time and you could learn slowly and have many excuses. Look at our current number of trumpeters..........
So please jia you jia you ok?
Juniors, if you are unsure of anything, ask.(:

BE CONSCIOUS OF WHAT YOU ARE PLAYING.[ Even during sectionals]
You know what I mean.


MID-YEAR examinations is COMING SOON~~~~~~~~
Must studied hard ok??? ((((((:
Oh and if you are taking rest or something, take out your mouthpiece and buzz.
I'm sure that there will be changes in all of your embouchures because of the exams and not playing instruments for too long.

Good luck for the upcoming events.
And Byebye(:

Time really pass very fast and tomorrow is SYF!!!!!!!
Everyone's nervous right? Hahaha...
But don't forget the things we should and must do ya??(((((:

OK, let me remind abit more things(:
Don't say I naggy. LOL.

ALL OF US MUST PLAY WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
TRUST EACH OTHER.
Overture: Starting must be FANFARIC!!!
Do the dynamics. 'F' really 'F'. Then 'p' really 'p'
3 bars before figure C: support.
Figure E and K: don't rush and play with confidence.

To Zoe: we must feel the togetherness at the duet part[starting from 1 bar before figure G.]
And sadness ya??(:

YagiBushi: On time.
-Remember fp!
-"Man-ly and the feminine part[know where I mean right]
Ending: have the balance, hear out each other.
Of course, many things I didn't say here, you must have them in mind
and you should know already.

Also, please promise me that when you've reached school calm yourselves down, which means don't talk too much and don't laugh too much.Settle down.
In bus, go through your scores and concentrate.
Listen to the leaders for instructions at all times.

Give your best shot!:D

Oh ya, tonight better make your lips comfortable,
which means if you have chapped lips,
better apply lip ice.
DON'T BATHE SO LATE.WARM YOURSELF.DON'T CATCH COLD.
AND SLEEP EARLY TONIGHT!!! Hahaha...
yourself feel energised by bathing early tomorrow morning?
Don't do too vigorous exercises or sweat alot.

Please don't be too tense tomorrow!
Don't make yourselves regret for SYF'09.
Read what Ms Loh had sent to us.
If you all have anything to ask me, call me ok?((((((:

All the while we have worked hard is for tomorrow
and it's the same thing we want to achieve, together,
so jia you jia you!!!

TRUMPETERS GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TOGETHER, WE CAN WE WILL!!!(:

Hey Trumpeters, SYF coming already. Feel stressed or not?
We really have to put in more effort and no more slacking.
I know sometimes you feel tired, just rest AWHILE and continue.Know when to be at your best.
But better to be at your best at all times lah. LOL
So ya, remember to push yourself and remind each other to "on" the "engine". :D

Remember last thursday's incident. )))))))))))))):
DO NOT LET THIS MATTER HAPPEN AGAIN!
XinYun and CaiYi, if you can improve your playing for the two pieces and your attitudes,
you will get the chance to play for SYF. Jia you jia you!
As for Yani, I tried to contact her, and ya she might lose the chance for playing for SYF.

Don't disappoint Ms Loh, ya?
So, learn from your mistakes. :D

Also, I've not announced that we have two new trumpeters((:,

they are:

YAQIN and ZAKIR.
Although they aren't Sec 1s,but still help them out ya?
BUT of course teach the correct stuffs.
Talk to them more, so they won't feel left out.((((((:

There are band practices during the holidays. PLEASE TURN UP.
And better to be on time.Hahaha. (:

So...byebye.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya it's 2009 already.


Ok, know why didn't I post here for so long...Because I mixed up the password and the email address...HAHA.PS.

Yes, 2009 already, so hope that it will be a better year.And even though we won't be going for SYF this year due to some circumstances............But please don't become slackers.
Because we still have to carry on with playing music in band.

LET'S MOVE ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although some are sad, I'm telling you that it wasn't because we could not meet the standards of playing ok?
Enjoy the time in band.

Yup, sec 4s are going to graduate in four months time, so cherish each other.
To the other members: PLEASE WORK HARD OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STOP SLACKING!!!

Remember to the homework given by Ms Loh ok.She said that she wants to hear it when she comes back.
It's the Symphonic Band Technique, pg 14, no. 65,

67 and 69.
And also practise and read through the scores.Yagi Bushi and Italian Polka and Under The Flag Of Glory.
Don't tell me that we are not going the competition then you don't want to practise.
If we come back and I can tell that you haven't been practising, you will get it from me.
UNDERSTAND???!!!haha

Oh ya.Practise the marching for the orientation at home.Don't be lazy.
Please MEMORISE THE TWO PIECES!!!HAWAII 5-O AND WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK!!!

Good afternoon.Yes I'm back.

I really hope all the trumpeters will be present during practices.Really.

I'm really worrying about you all.Fearing this fearing that.Ya I know,
sometimes I'm just too lor soh...but I hope you all understand.
This is the instrument that you have chosen, so you must give your best to learn.

And please don't be lazy ok? (:
As you know, the last practice which is on Mon,we started on the gimmics for the orientation le.I can tell that Mr Lim and Ms Loh was unhapy that the attendance for our section is really not good...

As you can see, when we are doing those marching and gimmics and stuffs,we really need to know the positions that we are gonna stand at.And if just one person is absent on that particular day, it will be hard to coordinate again.
Must to come ok??

Many people hopes to participate SYF.I know you might want too...
So let's strive together ok??
I may not be able to motivate you all.But at least we can play together right.
I hope you can come to the practices.Be it that you think that it is boring or whatever.Think for each other.ok? (:

I hope you all will read the post that I have posted for you all.
Try to understand people's position and all.
Let's move on together.(:

See ya(:

Next, the exchange with sec 1s in other schools is nearing.
Pls practice more.Mind don't ward off during combine because you might not know which important stuff conductors have to tell us.

Not only for Whistle while you work and we still have to teach the sec 1s there leh.Not only our very own sec 1.ALERT!!!Work on your parts hard before teaching them.I'll try my best too.No matter teaching you all ,them and myself.
