So,
We got a Bronze.
Though not what we wanted, not what we hoped for, but we DID try our best.
And that is enough.
We tried our best and we got a medal, and I think that's fine.
The day where we got our scores for Danse Diabolique, we all thought it was so diffucult and were blaming Mr Tan for choosing such a song.
But as the days passed and we practiced very hard for it, we can all run the notes properly now, don't we!
We survive through the torturings, all the comments and insults, and Mr Tan's auditions!
We've worked very hard to come to this stage.
We've put in hard work and effort and we should be proud of it.
Tomorrow, when the result is announced to the whole school, we shall be proud and not hide our faces just because it's a Bronze.
There are many people in school from other CCAs that are insulting us, (I've met a few msyelf),
but we have put in our best for the SYF, so why be bothered by them?
People are saying about our SYF results, saying that it's crap and all, but we know we did our best, the band knows we tried our best, it's enough. Don't care about them.
We should be proud of ourselves, we went up on stage, performed, and came down.
Anyway, we are much high-class than them, cos we know MUSIC and they don't. LOL
Take a good rest, and we shall all return to band after a short break for POP and proceed on to teaching the juniors!
'Saxophone section has always been very stong' says Mr Tan.
And we will prove to him that we are strong too. :D

music is my life.
hello people (:
Okay, it's only 17 more days to SYF.
Let's give in our best for it kay.
I know it isn't easy playing and playing the same thing over and over again for a few months,
but we're doing this because we want our SILVER, don't we?
Work hard during this short March holiday break,
I know you might feel very tired and want to pon band, but persevere !
don't slack, don't play a fool during combined.
Observe all the things that Mr Tan has mentioned
like dynamics, tone and stuffs
Like what Mr Tan sais yesterday,
BRONZE to SILVER is a huge leap, a huge gap,
whereas Silver to Gold is a smaller leap.
So, we have to put in tons and tons of effort to get the SILVER that we want.
I know combined with Mr Tan can be boring when he does those breathing and dynamics (?)exercises,
but we are all doing this for the Silver that we want.
So don't slack.
Breathe eight counts means breathe eight counts, and not only breathing for four counts.
piano means piano and not HALFWAY of mp and p
forte means forte and not HALFWAY of mf and f
It's these kind of small little things that we don't pay attention that make us still a bronze band and not silver.
Take note of these things, even though they might seem not important to you,
but it all counts into our marks when they jugde us.
and MAST, I assume it means
Marcato (edited)
Accent
Staccato
Tenuto
take note of these things
Articulation is very very very super important for Danse
and remember not to slow down for Danse too
it is very easy for us to slow down but very very super damn difficult for us to go back to the original tempo again, unless the percussion does it.
so remember don't slow down.
I'm getting a bit naggy here, so I should stop.
and don't get fustrated over what happen that day, it's over.
we should take that as a lesson and learn from it. (:
Jiayou people !
17 more days to SYF !
We can do it. :D
Together, we strive as a section!
gina.
