APPROXIMATELY 23 PRACTICES & 53 DAYS LEFT TO SYF'11
Hi band! Long time since an update hor?
The exchange is THIS saturday, as all of you should know. Are we truly prepared for it? It is already February, about 2 months before the SYF.
I know that all of you have other priorities like tests, homework, tuition and dunno what else, but do set some time aside for band on days without practices. Try to play your instrument everyday. If you really have no time, just 10 minutes doing scales and running through your weaker parts in the pieces is enough. At least you will keep in touch with your instrument.
If you have time, go through your rhythms (you should have done this long time ago), get a tuner and check your notes, get your running notes right if you have them etcetc.
These last few days before the exchange is really crunch time. If you want to sound horrible on Saturday, continue what most of you have been doing. If you want to sound better on Saturday, really, work harder. I know this post might be a little too late but...better late than never right?
If NPCC can go from a bronze to silver (congrats to them :D), we can go from a silver to gold. It all boils down to how much effort and time you are willing to invest into this. I know you guys can do it as you have shown that all of you are capable of much more in the past. Live up to your full potential and make yourself, everyone else and your music learning happy okay?
Imagine if Mr Sim announces that we get gold and are the first performing arts CCA to get it. Shiok right. Not saying that the other CCAs can't get gold but you get my point. Think about the result that you want.
