hi peeps.
this is just something the ever so worrisome-me has just remembered, and would like to ask the opinions of you all on what to do.
it's regarding the "basic/advanced/whatever drum courses" that are held in the band room. there was this announcement that was made on last friday to keep/secure anything that was valuable, like instruments/mutes/scores and such to prevent them from being stolen/touched/damaged by the people coming in to take the course.
one of my rather rich (ahem) friends who took the course just had his first lesson today, and i talked to him about it. a few particular lines were rather err... worrying.
"I wonder what's in those large METAL CABINETS at the side of the band room. *grins*"
Me: "when you're there, please don't touch anything except the floor, drum set and your sticks. ok?"
"ok. i promise to touch everything!"
fine. i admit those were said out of jest, but what do we do if something really goes broken/missing during this period of time? and i'm most worried about the large perc instruments aka. marimba, chimes, xylo and such, cause they're not covered/locked away, and a room full of drumstick wielding boys can't be the most careful thing in this world.
so yah. what are your views?
thnx.

.the importance of tuning

Listen to this beautiful song, played even more beautifully when on a euphonium... This sort of magical harmony can only be achievedd if everyone is in tune :)

Here's an apology to all if my shitty vulgar attitude has got the better of anything.. and also a plea for you guys to actually remind me about watching my attitute. So yeah

Whoa had our first practice after invest yesterday... Well quite pleased with attendance but it can always be better :) Anyway playing wise well I guess everyone needs more practice but if we seriously start putting effort for every next practice I believe we can all make ourselves proud on THE DAY;) Jiayou!(For the non chinese that means well, add oil?)

.ben's personal message.
♥ 1:20 PM,
thanks johnson! :P
btw. funny quote from benjamin:
"Dear Sec 1s: putting someone's name as your batch blog's URL will NOT guarantee him BM-ship XDD"
ciao.
linjin.
.okay okay
♥ 12:58 PM,
haha linjin you so boliao for what -.- i come post le!!! =D sorry la past few days been chionging work plus changing my blog skin (which is like super duper cool :P) and so a lil ignored this place. okay rite on to serious stuff. so here it is:
1. Something bad happened. It will be addressed by me after fall-out on monday prac. nobody, i repeat, nobody should spread it around. please keep it all to yourself.
2. First proper band prac under our batch, everyone please turn up regualarly for pracs, set good example for your juniors to follow. NOBODY is supposed to use excuses such as "I need study for CCTs","Dont feel like coming","Tell that I pon" to not come for band. All of us need study for CCTs. How do we manage our time is more important. If you dont feel like coming, I'm sorry but we dont feel like letting you play for SYF also. And if you pon, it's going to leave a black mark on your record. Pon some more and you WILL be chucked out of band, I dare say.
3. Call up any and all AP guy(s) in your respective section and spend time to talk to them, understand their problem and offer to help. I hope that everyone would be changed in one way or another to have passion for band. Only when we have passion can we be united and make music =D
4. Be prepared for screwings during concert pracs from now on. Dont be disheartend by Mr.Oura's comments/insults, they are meant to spur you on, stir up your retaliation to perform better. Taking the comments to heart will only result in misery and hatred. Please dont be a second Daniel. You all can look at me: sec2 and this year i got screwed for loads of things, tuning + rhythm + unity. Jiayous!
5. Monday please look out for a black foldable stand belonging to RGSSB. It is different from our own foldables, the legs are folded differently.
Okay that's it from me for now, do check for more updates =P. seeya all!

Messy! Sounds ok though. :D

Enjoy!

.visual enhancement!
♥ 2:58 PM,
Unless you have never came to this blog before, you would have realised that our batch blog has just received some visual upgrades and enhancements!
This new blog skin was found by Johnson, very nice, no? Applauds!
Also, there is now a "mates" section with all the names and birthdays of the people in our batch. Any errors, please tell johnson or me.
Oh yes, the title of the blog has been changed (by Johnson), as the previous one was too explicit inappropriate.
I wonder who came up with the previous blog title, hmm... :P
Colour of tagboard has been changed to white-orange instead of white-green.
Guys, enjoy this one week holidays! See you all next week!
Ciao.
linjin.
P.S: I resized the youtube videos in some posts as the text box area in this skin is quite small. For future youtube videos, please set the width as "247" and the height as "210".
P.S #2: I have upgraded the excos into admin status instead of just authors. See, I'm so nice.
