Natalie has been appointed as our new student conductor and she will be leading warm-ups from now on. Please take note that your breathing pipes and bread bags should be with you for every Wednesday and Saturday practices. If either items are missing, you will have to stand up and continue with the breathing exercises.
Here are some of the notices and announcements:
- Please try your best to come earlier on Monday sectionals to set up your instruments as it is distracting for the sec 1s when the door keeps opening and closing. Move off for sectionals immdiately as the room will be used for Jr Band. Please ensure that you bring along your metronomes and tuners for sectionals. Attendance will be taken after band. If members are consistantly coming late for sectionals, SLs please inform the teachers
- Placing of bags-all bags are to be placed at the right-hand side of the band room only from now onwards
- Extra chairs-SLs, if there are any extra chairs lying around in your row, please inform the QMs or stack them up with the other chairs near the side of the band room
- Wednesday practice-we will only be working on the set piece for rehearsal. Therefore, SLs and ASLs will be spending more time working on this piece on Monday
- 2 weeks (till 26 Feb) to memorise MOF (memories of friendship) and Hungarian fig. 1-13-everyone must be able to play with their files closed. This idea will be reinforced by sir as well. However, first priority goes to auditions. Focus on your auditions before memorising your pieces (:
- Auditions for non-SYF sec 2s-your audtions for MOF will be held 1 week after SYF and the senior comm will be testing you. If you fail the first round of audtions, you will be re-auditioned 2 weeks later. Auditions for Hungarian will be confirmed on a later date. 1st round of auditions is about 7 week-8 weeks' time
That's about it (:
