Hi it's 26th March, 12.42am.
It's one day to concert. Okay I know it's starting to sound cliche, but we can do it! Have faith, believe, and fight :) one more day to clear all the things you've yet to clear :)
I saw this a while ago, thought I should share
"We live all too brief a span. What little we have should not be wasted."
So, even with a little amount of time left, we must spend it wisely and it shouldn't be wasted alright :) I'm sure with just ONE day, you can clear something(s). Better than nothing, indefinietely :)
I might say this on Saturday, but I thought we should post it here too :)
Watch
Enjoy
Focus
Breathe
Remember
Move
WATCH Sir, he's not just giving time, he is also there so we can shape the music TOGETHER as a band. Like what he said, we're an ensemble. We work TOGETHER and not ALONE. Same goes for your playing. Be conscious of it. Don't overblow.
ENJOY the experience, playing on stage together. It's the Sec 2s first Main Band concert. Live the experience. Graduating seniors last concert, enjoy the last opportunity ever to play in a concert. Most importantly, enjoy the music you're playing. The audience came to enjoy themselves.
P.S. Anyone who rushes for vogel part B, I'll shoot you. Lol
FOCUS, don't lose steam especially during fast passages. Don't get distracted (esp goldilocks) and always looooook beyonddddddd the barsssssss.
Please do take note that for eagle bend and dream city. Sir's not going that fast :) so focus and watch!
BREATHE, before you come in, before starting pieces to calm yourself down. Sound quality is indeed better with better air support :)
REMEMBER, what Sir has said about the various bars for the respective pieces, what we've said too so you can improve yourself
MOVE to the music. Body communication. Speaks a thousand words too. Do you know that IJ band always moved like crazy and always have good marks for musicality? Don't break it let it continue :) :) if you think it's stupid, think again.
If everyone moves, everyone looks stupid together. It's worse if everyone moves except one person. Hahaha.
Remember, WEFBRM :) hahaha.
Watch Sir, interact with him during the performance. Most importantly, have fun. Concert is about showmanship, and to see how far you've grown. I'm really proud of the sec 2s. From sunridge march to vogelhandler and eagle bend is no easy task. Although you've a long way to go still, but you guys jumped a lot from last year. Great job :)
It's the last mile, give your 100% :) give your all.
By the way, I'll be chasing you guys offline later at 11 :P
with love,
Cherie
