Hey band!

Great practice today. Sec 2s, keep working hard. :) You guys have potential to be great musicians. Don't be discouraged if you still can't really get everything right. All of your seniors had to go through a really tough time before we got everything up to this standard.

Announcements from today:

1. Sec 1s and 2s, please let Vanessa know ASAP if you want to go for the SYF showcase. There are limited tickets. Last day to inform her would be Friday, 20th May. If you do not have her number, please inform your SLs and ask them to help you inform her.
2. All Sec 4s and 5s who are taking the MT O Level paper on 30th May need not come for band the week before your paper. Please still come for this Saturday's practice.
3. A reminder that the voting of the new comm would take place THIS Saturday, 21st May. Please try not to absent yourself as much as possible.
4. A notice to all, Sir is unable to be with us during the actual showcase, so please use all practices properly and get everything correct. Please make life for your student conductor as easy as possible. :D

Have a great few days ahead, and see you on Saturday!

~Natalie :)
