Hey guys...... i don't know who is the person who posted the previous post......although i have a rough idea......but hey,thats not the point i am trying to make here. The point is that i kinda agreed with what he/she has made in the post. The point being that the Band is no longer what its known for or what we have always been expecting. Alright....starting from scratch, u guys need to buck up on your drills....what i saw on friday....was horrible......no offense but its for your own good and well-being. I have heard of rumours saying that people actually lied in order not to fall-in, this pisses me off as this kind of thing has never been encountered in my four years in Band. Secondly......next year is SYF.....i cant stress the importance of this event.....i dont think SYF deserves the term...."competition".....rather its the test of your abilitiy as a Band to showcase your understanding for each other in music and to express your passion for music on stage to other music lovers.....however...its not to be taken for granted. Having said all these.....it wont mean anything if what i said isnt done....the seniors will try their best to go back and help....but the problem is, no one is willing to accept our help, i see faces that deterred me when i took the squad for a moment last friday. That really made me feel that Band is no longer what it used to be. The are a few ground rules that need to be drilled before things can carry on in the right path. Firstly, drills need to be taken seriously,no showing of faces when things gets tough...its good for you anyway.....it trains your muscles..... dont u want more biceps and triceps when u do push-ups? It also trains the discipline in Band, if you guys cant listen to Cheryl or Chong Tuck, i wont dare to think that your music will be of any standard good enough.
Secondly, although i havent heard u guys play, but what i read tells me that you guys arent at your maximized potential, you guys need to come regularly for practice....thats basic committment, then it take extra commitment to practice hard and put in 110% whenever you are in the music room. Train your tone....play lots of emotional song like celebration for winds and percussion.....etc..... and chorales....its the easiest songs to play but builds tone at the same time. Put more emtion and effort in your music making, u guys just play for the sake of playing,u need to put in effort. Dont come if you have no intention of making good music,dont be a pull-down.
Alright,i have to go Church now....cant type anymore,but one last thing,please put in effort and make good use of the instruments you guys have now. Dont let it go to waste, its the hard work of Ms Tan for the past years.....i dont think sec 1s and 2s know her.....but hey....you gotta agree we have a sweet music room with awesome instruments. Although i cant say that my batch id a great job or whatsoever,but change is good....just like what Obama says. Dont be a trend follower, be a trend setter. Dont follow what people think or say about you....you know yourself better than anyone......whatever people say,the know nothing...they say Ms Tan's music is boring and stuff, not like mr Subronto, but what the hell, Ms Tan's music was the one that got us Silver and not Bronze!!
