Hey band. There is a concert on 28th March (next sat) by the following schools:

- Marsiling (Der Vogelhandler)
- St Joseph's Institute (Jericho)
- Hwa Chong (Machu Picchu)
- Junyuan (Ivanhoe)
- Balestier Hill (Tanglewood)
- Montfort (Eiger)
- Bartley (Centuria)
- Serangoon (Blue Ridge Saga)

Holding at Singapore Conference Hall (SCH), 7pm, tickets going at $10 each (table sale).
They are playing their SYF choice piece.

If you can make it, we go tgt k?! All go tgt!
SJI's date is the same as us. 2nd April! They are the 1st band, we're the 3rd.
I think this concert is worth going.


Ok, moving on.. I have received some comments about the band exchange ytd. I was told that 1st trombones were covering the whole band, blasting throughout! OMG. And also the brasses were drowning the woodwinds.

Guys we gotta do something about this. Can the brasses tone down a lil ?! Our band knows that our band's brasses are alot times stronger than the woodwinds but we just continue playing so loudly, like as if every single one of us wants to be heard and then blow our hearts and lungs out, neglecting the fact that we are a band, and that we must sound balanced and not compete against each other!

Correct not, band?

Yes, our band is small, and naturally we would want to play louder to get bigger sound. But big sound doesnt mean bad sound. Agree?

From now on, pls come for the remaining practices till our big day comes. We really have alot more to work on.

We can do it right, band?

Like the Adidas slogan, Impossible is Nothing.
Silver isnt impossible if all of us put our hearts and souls tgt, and work towards our goal, just like how we persevered and achieved our COD for marching assessment. Maybe you would want to watch the video on youtube to recall how hard those intensive trainings were and the result we eventually achieved.

Remember the moment when we were announced.. 'Canberra Secondary School.... Certificate of Distinction!'

Remember how great that feeling was? Remember how all of us jumped, screamed and cried with joy?!
I am very sure no one would forget that very moment.

So, whether we get that COD kind of feeling again, its really up to us.

What do you really want, Band?
