As we await for that day to come,
what have WE done and cover so far?

The long hours of sweat and saliva wasted,
is this where WE stop from reaching beyond?

Being exhausted may be your excuse,
it may be valid but is it really true?

Yet all it takes is just one shot...

Think about it and search for answers...

Have YOU given your best shot?

Since the moment that we STARTED out?

Yoyo! Bandits of EVMB!

We only have 25 days LEFT till SYF! ;D

From now until the end,
even just for a 10 mins performance,
I hope you guys can REALLY give your best shot for every practice... :D

I also hope that you guys can take SECTIONALS seriously instead
of fooling around.

NOTE: (this applies to brasses & woodwinds only) for sectionals,work on:

1)TONE as a Section [play long tones together]
-improves intonation as a section; then, as a whole band
-play out chords from either pieces OR play concert Bb Major
[up & down the scale]

2)ARTICULATION [practice as much tonguing as you can together]
-achieves clarity [clear tonguing NOT muffled sound]
-you can also practice tonguing anytime, anywhere. It benefits you.

3)Lastly, DON'T just play the song/piece/music/notes,

.::.SING it OUT LOUD everyday. Then, apply it to your playing.

For e.g. A choir needs to sing out their chords but we play out those chords.

If the choir happens to sing out of tune as a whole, it turns people off.

THE SAME THING applies to playing music, in order to make the piece

sound beautiful, you need to 'SING' out those notes/rhythms/dynamics and NOT

'SCREAM' it out. Get what I mean?

If I put it this way, our instruments are like our vocal chords. If we treat it badly

by 'SCREAMING', our throats will become sore thus, making us sound awful as

our voices change due to the sore throat.

Without vocal chords, how can we speak? Without instruments, how can we play music?

Give it thought. :)

Till here,
Your Deputy Band Major, HaZwani xD

Hey guys, so far you guys are doing really good with the two pieces but lets remember to watch mr goh for the tempo. Just put it a little more effort together and I'm sure we can keep improving on our music (:

Keep it up alright ~ (:

one band, one sound.

Let's forget the past, and start building...

a new beginning.
