hello dead blog haha i shall post something quick (before our crazy ms wk10 takes her toll on us HAHA) i think our batch has done a lot to improve dramatically from the time we took over last year (though of course as always we COULD be better XD) ya though some of us might not be good enough yet so we need to work harder! syf is very very near, the balloting and confirmation of dates will be done on 3rd march so we'll sorta know our fate then. i'm sure no1 wants to break the gold streak and be a public shame? nor would i ever dream of us being in this state.

pardon my naivity, but two years ago after our syf i was thinking when our batch was gonna take over, we're gonna to prove all our seniors' predictions wrong and bring home that gold with honour, to show them we're no pushovers. we've indeed come a long way from then, but the question remains: can we do it? only time can tell but unfortunately we dont have that luxury, so effort will make the difference. jiayou everyone.

and to all of you, pls do take care of yourselves and dont get sick/ulcers that will impede your playing. cuz know what? i have/had loads of them and it simply sucked to the core ><


last but not least, to those who dont know, exchange is on monday, first day of march hol and band camp, held at AHH from morning till afternoon i think. schools that are confirmed are NYGH RI RGS ACSI SCGS. more details to follow soon.

HEY GUYS!

Hahaa I noticed that Josiah posted 3 times in a row (he said so XD) so I'm posting instead.

Sound like the band actually woke up a bit after the emo talk on monday! Thats an improvement lol.

Say.. we should start getting/encouraging the batches to bond. It helps. Haaha tell them to go for small stuff like bubbletea even. Bonds our exco at least XD cuz thats the people who go -Brandon -Kirk.

Hhahahahah LETS ALL JIAYOU FOR THE SYF!

P.S paiseh pangsehed bbt session cuz I was meeting someone to go shooting hahahahahaha


Hey guys me posting again!

Well we all know that the sec 1s came in on fri. 25 new members, lets hope the number gets bigger instead of smaller.

Its quite good to hear that there were quite some number of guys who put band as their first choice, but then again some guys didn't. Well I guess they just don't know how fun band and music is, so it's up for us to show them. Our goal: no one quits :)

Anyway I was just complaining about the lack of respect (if I could put it that way) the RI ppl put in music ccas like band. It seems it is reflected in the whole of Singapore too! In fact, just look at the saturday section of the straight times. The comment was to join a sports, or a cca. Seems to imply something doesn't it? Disappointing. Hmm...

Lets change that.

p.s. a video to enjoy I guess



...Johnson at year head assembly. Actually not really.


This is YiFan. Yes, my second post ever in the batch blog!

Just posting to share this absolute gem I found on the net. It's a website that focuses on the Trumpet, although some of the things inside can be applied to all brass, or even all wind instruments. Sorry percs.

The main website is this: O.J's Trumpet Page

I wanna highlight one page though (this was the page I found the website through): Resonant Sound

Now, having a good tone may already be a problem for some of us (me!), but this page can help you get a very good tone. It's very detailed, so please take a look.

Oh and Lin Jin, please put up a link section in the sidebar and link the website.

Ya well decided to post on this blog finally.
As you can see, we now have a music playlist on our blog! Yay!
Anyway good band prac today, hope this gets even better.
Practice hard but don't tire yourself out, especially with test week coming up soon.
For your enjoyment:
