Hey! We did great today. It was our best performance ever. The sensation after playing the last note. We felt it. We knew in our heart that we did our best. The moments we spent really taking pictures together as a section, as a band after the performance was terrific. When I saw the bonding between us, I am touched. The smiles on your faces, the laughter, the tears...

We had really put in lots and lots of hard work, perseverance, determination towards the performance. The band had grew a lot. The music standard of the band, the drills, the attitude have improve tremendously. The road was never easy for each and everyone of us. There were lots of ups and down, problems, difficulties for us to overcome. We came back during the holidays for optional sectional during the block leave, remember? Did we slack? NO! So do not broad over the results. Bronze so what? The medal is not important! Fair and unfair? It is not important! Look back and see where are we right now... No regrets!

As I mentioned before, "Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's the courage that counts!" Don't get stuck to this result! It doesn't reflect anything! IT DOESN"T! In my heart, our band is always the best! SYF 2011, what do you guys want to aim for? If you guys are not happy with the results, work super hard from now on! The current sec 2 will be the pioneer badge in 2011. Aim for GOLD WITH HONOURS in SYF 2011!

Preparation for 2011 SYF starts now! If we want to succeed, a lot of effort and hardwork is needed. Seniors, do your best! Never forget your target!

Sec 1s are coming in next week. Teach them efficiently and well. Let them understand our target too. The standard of the band must keep on improving and improving. Never ever think of slacking, even for a moment. Treasure the time and opportunity in band. Do everything at your best!

There will be no morning duty on Monday. Band resume next Wednesday. Have a good rest and start planning and preparing for sec 1 training. JIAYOU teckwhyeconcertband!!!!!!!

Your majors

Wah... we are band no. 90, the 12th band on day 5 - 3 april.







Band,
SYF is just in a few practices away. We have about 15 hours of official band practices left in the month of March, how much of this 15 hours can be useful and productive? 15 hours of official band practices can't get us anywhere...

SYF CENTRAL JUDGING JUDGING CRITERIA
50% - Technique
Articulation
Dynamics
Intonation
Rhythm
Tone

50% - Musicianship
Balance
Blend
Expression
Interpretation
Phrasing
Style

Awards
Gold with Honour: Above 85%
Gold: 80% to 84%
Silver: 70% to 79%
Bronze: 60% to 69%
COP: 59% and below

As you can see, it's very hard to achieve either Silver or Gold, but with determination and the hunger for success, we can break through our records of Bronze medals.

For those who want to have a listen to how the band sound like in the following events:
1) Ngee Ann Secondary School Exchange
2) SYF Soundtest at Singapore Conference Hall
3) Teck Whye Secondary School Exchange
Please get it from Jun Jie (tohjunjie93@hotmail.com)... However, I can't send Overture No. 1 becauseMOE CCAB reserves all rights for the use of the set pieces up to and including 7 May 2009.
