Dear fellow band members,
1. NO CCA TILL FURTHER NOTICE.
2.We will be putting this band blog to good use so there will not be ANYMORE notifications being sent through smses unless needed. This will also help some SLs save smses.
3.The band room will be open this wed, 12/8/09. All of you are required to bring home your instruments for the time being. As there'll be an inventory check on all instruments this month, you need to bring it back till the PFA is done with the inventory check. The proper date will be given asap. BRING HOME & PRACTICE. No point leaving your instrument there to collect dust.
No excuses for all insturments except bari sax, tuba & euophonium. Please bring your mouthpieces home.
4.WE HAVE NEW SCORES!
It is YOUR responsibility to get them from the librarians on WED.
I will not be opening the band room after that.
WED 12/8/09
THERE IS CIP ON THIS DATE.
I will not allow any excuses (eg. tuition) unless it's a school event thing. Inform Mr Fasial if you do.
Please meet at the sunken foyer at 2.30pm. Minimum CIP hours: 2.
FOR THOSE SEC 3's WHO HOLD POSTS IN THE BAND:
There'll be a meeting at 2pm after school as Mr De wants to talk to us. This includes Cynthia.
THIS MEETING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Dire action will be taken if you do not show up.
-
My wish for the futher practises is that you guys will be more organised & have more self discipline. I just want the best for all. All these should be up in your head. I'm quite tired of repeating myself over & over again. To those who haven't been coming to band practices regularly: 1 person makes a difference to the whole band.
If we know our work, mr de wouldn't flare up everytime.
If you knew your dirlls & executed them properly, we wouldn't make you keep doing it.
Remember what we promised our seniors at the last POP.
It's all up to us.
We control the future of the band.
We could soar to greater heights if we just start & keep up the good habits.
I hope to see an improvement in the next practise.
Remember our actions determine our consequences.
SEC 3'S PLEASEE WAKE UPPPP.
Love,
Abby
P.S. GET WELL SOON YATI!
