Heyheyhey, people!
As you all know, there's a concert coming up at Singapore Polytechnic.

Those who are going, please message/call/e-mail - or find whatever way - to let Tze Yang know that you are going by Monday.
For those who are not going, you're going to miss a chance to waste Tze Yang's money!!!
He has offered to pay a dollar for each ticket!
This is your only chance to let Tze Yang pay a dollar for your ticket because he's not going to make that offer again!

If you go, you would also be motivated to play well by watching and listening how their band play.
Articulation, tonging and all that jazz.

Maybe their posture when performing...you could observe from their performance for the benefit of our up-coming performance on Speech Day and if not, National Day.

Venue: Singapore Polytechnic
Time: 5 p.m.
Cost of Ticket: $5 ( because Tze Yang is paying a dollar for your ticket)
Dress code: HOME CLOTHES

If you are still in doubt, you can either e-mail me at fun_ky_gal@hotmail.com, Yean Lin at yeanlin_93@hotmail.com or Tze Yang at bladefusion_cty@hotmail.com for more information (:

Goodnight people!
Nadhirah a.k.a Nad/Colorful Girl (haha)

Band I wish all have read the post Yean Lin type below.
I think that I very important for you to make the effort to train and practice by ourself.
We do not wish to let people to laugh at us right?
I know is hard for us.
But we are going to play in 24 days time.
As you know what Mr Tan say"If you are unable to play properly on that day.You can just do not need to join in the band to play on that day. Even we are left with 10 people!!!"
So please make your effort.

Trumpet section please do not just bring your instrument back without pratice with it.
I know the instrument is very noise.
So can you at least buzz with your mouthpiece?
I am doing that everyday.
I think it is working.
Can now play with my mouthpiece even it is not in tune but I can get it.
So please make you effort with it.
You are doing all this for yourself and for the school.
Even you do not like the song just treat it as you do it for yourself please.
If there is a need I will be hosting a sectional for you guys every wednesday after school.
So think yourself.

Are You Game For It?

Read only if you can take it on what I say. Highlight the words.
Are you ready for the national day parade?

Have you practice the anthem for the past few days?

Have you reflect on the attitude you gave the teachers and seniors?

This is all for your own good.

Take the national anthem as example;

If you did not put in your effort to play well, and on the day itself you screw up the whole anthem.

First thing, do you feel bad, you might not feel pai seh.

But the shame you are bringing is to the whole band and the teachers.

The shame you bring to the band is greater than what you expect.

Think.

If you screw up, not only you are bringing shame to the members, it's unfair for those people who put in their effort and play well for our national anthem.

You will be laugh by your friends saying band is useless and stupid.

What is this?

The sec 1s might don't know about it.

But I'm sure the sec 3s and 2s understand how it feels when we got COP for last year.

You really don't even know what it's feel to get mocked by your firends and friends from chinese orchestra.

Second thing.

The song that you play is your national anthem.

It's your national anthem.

As Singaporeans, don't you think it's a shame of not playing well and you have people from other country trying to play well?

If you are not proud to be a Singaporean, I suggest you ask your father or mother to give up your citizenship and go some where else.

You got the best things here. Education system, security, food, game.

Your instruments are even free.
You don't seem to appreciate it.

Now we only want a little effort from you all to play the national anthem properly and together.

Is that diffcult to ask for?

Come on.

Third thing.

I know some of you in fact all of you don't like the way teacher tell us to do things.

Do you want teacher to come up once in a while to tell you what to do and get things done or do you want to have teacher coming up everyday and pressure you?

Teacher have their own things to do, own meetings to attend.

Be glad that we do not have teacher in charge from chinese orchestra.

Don't know how to play, just tell us.

We will give you time.

Fourth thing.

I believed that Miss Aisah has asked the flute and clarinet section to come and report.

But today, only a few of you turned up.

That was so disappointing.

By not showing up means you have something to hide.

If you know how to play, why not you just report and play infront of teacher?

Or should I say,

if you don't know how to play, have you stay at home take out your instrument and practice.

Don't tell me it's night time and you can't play.

You can practice your fingerings with your instrument.

Nobody ask you to play.

As long as you got your timing and fingerings right, your note will come out automatically.

For brasses, buzzing your mouthpiece WON'T affect the whole neighbourhood.

Practice well and even you still can't get the note correct, by trying to practice, you won't have a feeling that you are guilty.

Because you tried YOUR BEST.

Why don't you just reflect what happened.

Note for all clarinet and flute members.

This is the second chance.

Bring your instrument to school tomorrow and report to teacher after school.

She might be or might not be in school.

But please.

Even if teacher is not in school, call for a sectional in the school.

Nobody says it's not allowed.
