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.
