hey band,

Today's band practice was a really great one, a really great final practice before we're off to Sydney! What we played today sounded really nice, and we've definitely come a long way since we first started the competition pieces. In 2 days plus a few hours time, we'll be on a plane, on our way to Sydney, getting ready for the various performances there. Are you all excited? So anyway, here's the order for the various performances:

Opera House:
Eagle Bend
Lowell Mason
Tomorrow

Pop Concert:
Dream City
Eagle Bend
Lowell Mason
Sing
Nobody
Vogel
Tomorrow
(Vogel and Eagle Bend might not be played, depending on the performance time we're given)

Please continue singing your parts with a metronome, especially all the accents and stuff, it'll help. Well, for now, please have a good rest, and pack your luggage! Please remember remember remember to bring your full set of band uniform with stockings, court shoes, thermometers, raincoat/umbrella.

And see you all at the airport! :D
