hey guys
the links below are other bands performances of danse diabolique.
I'm not trying to compare us with other bands,I just want to point out some differences in the way that we play the piece ,which are not necessarily bad.

Regent Wind Symphony(secondary sch band)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2iLYgypwA8

Original Recording
http://www.imeem.com/plzh-chemicals/music/S7YMY06B/joseph_hellmesverger_joseph_hellmesverger_danse_diabolique/

malaysian band
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp1SilHrZrs&feature=related

Note the tone differences and how the bands handle Tempo Primo at the back.Also, notice how the balances between sections change. The spotlight is never on one section throughout.
Notice how compact and together the bands are in playing the piece.Hopefully,we'll achieve that too.

welcome back sec2s!

hope u guys enjoyed the ad. camp.

enjoy the next few days of rest 'cause we are starting proper practice real soon!

Practice resumes on 20th October 2008,Monday.

From next week onwards, we will be having 3 practices per week until school closes.What I mean by school closes is when the sec3s finish their extended lessons.

Regarding attendance,

sec3 maintains gd attendance.sec2s have problems pulling up the attendance while sec1s have the worst records. Mrs Lai will bring up this attendance issue soon.

So far this yr, I have tolerated ppl not coming for band because of nonsensical excuses like:

-too much homework

-overslept

-projects

-didn't know got band practice

For the last time,these excuses are not valid

I will talk to the committee again to address this issue.

As u know,we are in the middle of preparation for SYF. Ask any of the seniors and they will probably say our standard is a bronze or COP standard. We have seen other bands failed to get the award that they wanted. And most of the members were shedding tears. So unless u guys want to put urselves in that position, I want to see an improvement,starting with attendance.

Don't see it the wrong way if I start using corporal punishment on ppl..I'm not abusing my power,we are trying everything we can to improve e band,both musicallly and attitude wise.

I expect Full Attendance from every section!! EOY's over and there is no more excuse. SLs, its your duty to inform your section of this saturday's practice.

finally after 2 weeks..band wakes up from the dead again. and behold...a dirty,untouched band room!!

looks like we need to do a bit of spring cleaning..not including maintaining instruments. Percussion is sooo dead..
