HI BAND!

Ok, some announcements for you guys to take note of. :)

  1. Morning Rounds - Rounds start this week! Remember, it's 8 rounds once a week. If you really can't run the full 8, run 6 and BRISK WALK the last 2. Please, don't stroll. The weekly rounds are meant to help build up stamina. Take it seriously ok guys? The only valid reasons that you guys don't run for the week is that you are sick 3 out of the 4 running days, it is raining in the morning for the week, you are excused from NAPFA, or you have a long term injury, ie. ankle sprain. But please, try your best to run every week. It's good practice for NAPFA too! It isn't too far away you know.
  2. Assembly - Morning assembly is tomorrow! Please be in the band room by 7am to set-up your instruments. Percs seniors, please play for assembly. Your juniors can help out in future assemblies. Sec 2s, please try to memorise your score for your own sake. It's better than competing with the wind to keep your scores on the stands. But if you have to bring them down, blu-tack your scores to your files and bring your files down, and hope the wind doesn't flip your page half way. :)
  3. Sec 2s - Please really familiarise yourselves with whatever scores you have. Your SLs may be holding random tests for any of the pieces that you have, especially the orientation pieces, the national anthem, and the school song. Do know your scores well :) Ask your seniors for help if you need.
  4. Collection of Money - If you haven't already done so, please pay your SLs. Sec 2s, please pay $4.20. Seniors, please pay $9.40. SLs, please hand over the money to Vanessa ASAP. Thanks :)
  5. Orientation - Please be in the band room by 7.30 on Saturday, in your full band uniform without stockings. Also, learn your scores properly. Seniors, please guide and help your juniors as much as possible. They really need our attention right now because they're still getting used to the fast pace of the main band, and they really need our help.
So please take note of all of this, and do the necessary :) You guys are awesome, so keep up the good work. Stay focused during practices and don't goof off during sectionals, especially when there are juniors who need the help of the seniors! :) Keep in mind, SYF isn't far away.
