Hello people~!!!!
Its me again~..haha..dont give me that 'sian' looks!!!
hmmm..today's pract quite a number of people were absent!!!
how??how???HOW??!!cant just leave it like this..if i really do..then thats not me anymore..sooo..PEOPLE~!!!pls help your band to do something~!!!especially those graduating seniors~..we only left these fews days...you all know what i mean so dont regret after things are done..!!sooo...must do as much as we can to pull our band up then hand it over smoothly to the next batch of committee..okie??haha..i know we all can!!so lets START!!
Firstly..what will be affected when attendance fail??dont mention a few who absent..if there is one who is absent..then the band's sound will fall..small little empty holes will be created..and as time passes..it will then develop to a big hole!!!so attendance for every practice are compulsory!!but how to make it true??that needs everyone to think alike..when we found 'errors',the person who absent will missed the chance to know or if he/she came the errors will be blended well??..and when he/she comes back,he/she will spoil the sound of the whole band's...who knows??...so can you see the importancy of attendance now??
Solutions...go chase after them..haha.know and understand their difficulties n solve it with no matter what formulas you have..use them wisely wor~!!
Secondly...lets talk about what 'errors' we have for today's practice okie!!hmmm..usually those mistakes we have are those which were repeated numerous times..soo get it in mind and solve it..meaning of solve it is getting the correct answers..hehe..
point no.1-by now,all of us should have already memorised the scores well
well= notes(basic),articulations,dynamics and so on...without any of it,there will be no music..
music= the process of a note to another
Sunrise
-Timpani must tune well before hand (twinkle twinkle little star),can seek help from the tuba
-Clarinets semi-quavers must have the same styles,speed,dynamics and articulations
-Melody played by all instruments have the same problem of the highest note,high D for trums,are very flat..so remember to play it sharper
-Blasty sound for brass player will only spoil the sound in this piece,so pls control
Trums
- figure 15,B flat to D -> air must like the water through the hosts,adjust the speed and
-figure 16 -> first note,the chord must be in tune with triangle balance
1st trum -F natural
2nd trum-D
3rd trum -A
-> fourth note, same as first chord,must be in tune with triangle balance
1st trum -D
2nd trum-A
3rd trum -E
-one bar before figure 13 ->D is very flat for 1st trum,dont decreasando too fast
LAST NOTE OF SUNRISE!!!
DONT MAKE IT BECOME A SUNSET~!!!!
-everyone must know how their note sounds like, come in straight
-if you have the melody,dont play the note too short
Jubilant Overture
-Starting,Trums sounded ducky
-Bar 70, trums + trombone must be in tune~!!!
-Woodwinds pls practise well for the running notes
-All soloists must have their parts well prepared!!
-Too brassy sound is also not good for this piece,so pls control
Middle Part
-Bar 62,must sound more together (suggestion: maybe someone can cue them in together with some movement??)
-Somewhere around bar 127,2nd clarinet sounded very flat
-eight bars before bar 191 sounded too slippery
-Two bars before bar 145,2nd TRUM IS DESPERATELY NEEDED!!!
Memorise Treasury Of Scales
-> no.15, 19 and 69
okie..if all these mistakes are well covered...our band standard will definately be better.so what are you all waiting for?? let go and practise our parts!!!remember the days left..17 days to SYF!!!do what you can for the band..for the school..for our teachers who take lots of care for us and most importantly for ourselves!!!aim higher and dont regret!!!there is only one chance..missed it and thats it!!!..lets do our parts!!Jia you everyone!!!!
