Hey guys!

this is a reminder. Next band practice will be this saturday 30th August starting from 9am.
I have been looking at band lately and I figured its shrinking..I beg u guys who are thinking of quitting to stay. We need u guys for competition!
It might be a bit boring now(a bit might be and under-statement) but this is the most crucial stage of building this band to comp level. Maybe u guys think band is just abt practices. half the time it is..but the rest is about exchanges,camps,concerts and stuff. The only reason why we are not doing all that is we do not have the capabilities,yet to do all this things. U see ah..we are taking so long to master danse diabolique.can u imagine harder songs?

And I hate people saying this: small band=losers
What kind of stupid logic is this!!!
I don't want to hear this kind of nonsense in band anymore.
there are smaller bands out there who are achieving silvers in SYF!!
I see no reason why we can't do this
We should be more united rather cos we're smaller..

GOLF Classic
Here's an update on who will be performing
Darryl
Ling Chao
Jun Hao
Daniel
????

I not biased to brasses ahh..its just tht Mr Tan advised us to set up a brass quintet instead. I'm sure some of u guys dun wan to perform rite?

Logistics stuff
-Pls bring $10 for band fund

Coming Soon
-New band blogskin
I now u guys want a change,its coming soon dont worry
-New band tee
Warning: the nicer it is, the more money u have to wave goodbye..
If i were u, just spend more lah..u wan ugly or nice tee?

As required we have to perform for the golf classics event.
There will be this guest of honour guy called vivian bala something we gotta perform to and its in raffles country club, which is quite a grand place, so we shld put up somethin nice.

We will be playing 2 or 3 songs, Blue ridge saga, mission impossible 2 and maybe raiders of the lost ark respectively.

As for eac song, we will shorten the songs to fit in the time limit which i guess is about 10mins-12mins,considering other performances by other ccas.

The performers will be from:
Tuba (daniel)
Euphonium(kangren)
Trombone (junhao)
Trumpet(me)
Snare drum (xingzhi)
Clarinets( rayner sharon)
Flutes (Carissa Michele)
Horn (Ling CHAO)

Extra practices will be held for these chosen people to rehearse for this thing.Whoever wans to perform can also tell me.
For more info please ask daniel or me~

Hey folks!

I learnt a lesson today. Nvr watch an Olympic opening ceremony before NDP,its gonna make u think NDP sux to the core!! No seriously, if guys got watch the olympics opening ceremony, its bloody cool!! from paper scrolls,to 2008 performers every act, then the china torch-bearer got carried up dunno freaking high!!! damn cool lah..still got globe appearing from the ground.I was like OMFG!!

No offence NDP guys,it still was great to watch.finally got to see u in those bird costumes.That made me appreciate the Arise Shine shirt hahaha! but I was proud to see our sch name displayed down there. lol..looks like ur CIP hours gonna explode lyk crazy.

Anyway, now that NDP's over,hope u guys enjoyed having fun,or torture,whichever way u look at it. Now, our focus is on comp nxt year. Just to wake u guys up,we have less than 9 months before syf. and we still haven received our set piece yet.I'm gna pray hard its not going to be another set piece like Night Safari. Seniors should know how boring the piece is. Sooo,after NDP fever and common test period is over..the practices would probably increase.

but until then,I'm gna enjoy life watching the olympics...Indonesia probably not gna win any gold medal..so I'm cheering for Singapore haha!!USA another one!lol..thats the advantage of being ang moh and asian at the same time hahaha!!
Peace out.

Those who are interested in performing a dedication piece for your seniors pls lemme know ASAP. It will be nice if we play a piece together. Suggested pieces are Raiders of the lost Ark,Pirates of the Caribbean, Titanic(WTF!!) and Mission Impossible. Do let me know if u are interested.

Food catering is a bit of a problem cos we couldnt find any cheap options.Sooo...if any of u got lobang and know where can get cheap cheap catering let me know oso.Thanks!!

PHS GOLF CLASSIC(EXCO better read this!!!)
Exco, u guys are involved in this utterly redundant,insignificant,time-wasting event. Guess what,we are the caddies for the golfers. Who the hell likes golf?? Anyway, CIP hours are for grabs and mrs Lai will accompany us there.Its on 23rd Sept 2008 and held from 9am-9pm.

One last thing, mrs Lai want the band to form a quartet to perform there.guest of honour is Dr Vivian Balakrishnan(hope the spelling's correct).just in case u guys didnt know,a quartet is 4 ppl performing together. My choice would be either saxes quarted or brasses quartet.I haven made my choice yet so if u guys wan to perform, let me know can?

Thats enough from me,
See ya!!

-Daniel

P.S Can the rest of the freaking EXCO update??
