ATTN RSSB members:

Please continue to work towards your goal, my juniors! (: Was super glad and happy to see you all in band today! I know you all are working really hard on your running notes etc.

But, let's not forget the basics that you all should have. If you guys have not realised, the tone of each section is deproving ): It's not easy to have acquire a good tone and I don't want you all to lose it! Please work on long tone exercises before you jump straight into your running notes during sectionals.

Let's ALWAYS have this in mind that your tone affects your overall playing. Whatever intonation problem you have now, is probably due to the poor tone quality you have ):

I don't want to harsh but i really have to mention something. SLs and seniors! Your skills are almost similar to that of a sec1/2 player ): I think it's really a time for each of you to review on your playing/ teaching. Have something gone wrong? Or have you been too focused on some skills that you've neglected something else? Not enough air support? (Do running! I'm serious!) Wrong embochure? (Check with the seniors and Mr Tan!)

Everything else, including your intonation, will be better if you have a good tone. (even your running notes are clearer)

And volume! Volume is very important too. You're nothing if you can't project your sound and hit the judges right in their face! PLAY IT LOUD with good dynamics!

The way you sound in the band room is going to be very different as compared to those in the Singapore Conference Hall.

When a section is too soft to match up to the band, the band DOES NOT lower their volume and match the section. But instead, its VICE VERSA. I'm not pointing out the sections, cause i believe you know better than me. On a whole, the band really NEEDS TO VOLUME UPPPP! Try blasting on your instrument with good tone? Blast your tuning note for 4 bars of 60-80bpm and do 10 sets of it daily?

If you've been listening to the recodring of tone poem, you would have realised that you are still quite far from that! The band's standard is not there yet.

So RSSB, work harder on the different areas (INTONATION and VOLUME) that have been mentioned. Listen to Mr Tan, heed his advices and REMEMBER it! Only then will you do well. And if you're still with that laid back attitude, BREAK free from it!

The band cannot succeed if not for the combined efforts of everyone!
And as the saying goes: One for all, all for one :D

It's 3-4 weeks+ to SYF and NOPE, RSSB IS NOT GONNA LOSE HEART! So what if the band before and after you are GOLD or GOH BANDS? So what if RI and ACSI are playing on the same day as you?

You have the will, you can do it! :D

Cheers,
Jing yee

P./S. This is for some who are curious, i'm currently in Catholic Junior College (:

Create a playlist at MixPod.com

For now, please just listen to this. Mr Tan passed this disc to the secretary, Eve. Eve passed to me. I have attempt to upload this on so many websites for more than an hour, but I still failed. I tried imeem which disappeared, mixpod which led me to fileden which kept denying my loggin in process, aimini which signed me in and the next moment 'sign out' my account, etc. Imeem has somehow disappeared. Until I find a way to upload Mr Tan's disc, 'Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Sir Georg Solti' Sound Track 4, 'And the Ocean Glows composed by Satoshi Yagisawa', please use this as reference first? =X

I have yahoo-ed and googled 'upload music online for free' but I was only able to find certain 'safe' websites. Therefore, If anyone knows of any other ways to upload music online, please tell me. ASAP. BECAUSE I'm going crazy thinking where imeem went -.- thanks.

We're Riversidians, let's give our best and more. shall we? We're here cos we love music. Let's get the best out of it. It's not about 'afraid to disappoint seniors' . It's how we leave this Band when we graduate, how each and everyone of us feel towards it. jiayou, we can do it. We're from Riverside Secondary. We give our best and more. Let's get the best out of it. I mean, You will only get to feel this feeling here, in RS. really. You won't get to find this playing in other Bands. wondering why? good point made. ask seniors. they know de. so RSSB, let's jiayou and work towards our goal, thinking with our hearts. We're all together as one (:

WAFIR HAKIM JUNIOR PERC SEC 2

RSSB i love all of you

2009-12-13T18:16:00.003+08:00

It had been so long since i lasted posted here.
So I shall my experience of this year camp.
Wise choice! I know I would regret if i didn't join for the concert! :D

I love band camp, seriously.
Argh, should have listen to Mr Tan & come back earlier to practice.

So me and jiamin and sookhui went to learn our performing pieces just 4 days before concert.
* faint.
I could still remember how demoralised we were on the very first day of camp. Sitting down at our emo corner, wondering if we would survived.
Like what i told jiamin, this is the most unprepared concert for us. One which we aren't confidence at all. Indeed. :X

That's not the point.

Slept with jiamin, sookhui & miss chen in the staff room for the 2nd & 3rd night. :D
We always sleep till 8a.m., after everyone else had their physical training. *giggle!

So always went for a ride to 768 to pack dinner with Mr Tan, Jiamin & sookhui.
We complaint on our way too!
Oh, i accidentally video called junrong! So embarrassing! :X

They were punished for countless times. For not playing loud enough, for not tonguing right, for not stressing notes, for not playing the right dynamics, for playing wrong notes & rhythms, for no phrasing, for not breathing enough, for not getting in tune, for the wrong postures .. for many many things ..

So while running we would shout " TUBA LOUDER!" & we did cheers when we were punished too! So cute!! :D Hakim keep blasting because tubas were too soft. & he was scolded for that too.
Cheachee is seriously loud, scary. Then kelvin keep complaining she's overpowering him. Mr tan keep stare at kelvin. Poor thing, hah. Eve is very very loud too! :X

oh yea, the games! I wonder how i survived. I kept screaming and screaming. perc hakim & peikai keep scaring me. T-T they wore the masks. oh ya! jiamin is super duper cute! :D When they approach, she said: "aiyo, what happened to your face, time to do facial!" :D & peikai is seriously dumb. He only pulled his mask down in front of the people he wanna scare. -.- & Leonado was like trying to scare my group. So Everyone shouted "PECKYONG!" When i turn around and look at him i still cant tell that both his eyes are white. lol!
& so the band room stink afterwards. :X!

queen in concert .... "MAMA..~!"
Hahah, everyone keep singing winnie's solo part! :D

The last night, the alumni decided to act. So we went around to chase people to go to bed.
We walked passed livent's room and sookhui tried to act like mr tan and said, "Livent! Stop talking, go and sleep!" It was so funny!

Then we went to 4/7? Sookhui stood at the door and demand them to sleep. Then jiamin and me pushed the door! haha! sookhui is trapped inside. Then we ran away, acted like some secret agents. :D
then the guys' bunk was seriously noisy! So i went in and started screaming at them -.- they keep trying to scare me. Then jiamin betray me. -.- she and sookhui trapped me in that room! SCREAM!
And they all started laughing T.T
Then the boys went around to take pictures. As if it was their last night, like they'll die tmr. -.-
Taking pictures also wanna scare me! Place all the disgusting masks beside me! :C

Oh ya did i mentioned? Perc hakim is super funny.
The alumni was speaking in chineses and he interrupted. Act like he knows a lot.

They talked in Chinese,
Hakim:"Don't think you don't have lj I'll be scared of you hor!"
Jiamin:"What i have you also don't have!"
Hakim(obviously don't uds, still wanna act):" What i don't have?! You want me to show you?!"
Everyone start laughing!
Jiamin:" Yours are flat, I see for what!"
HAHAHA!

Then they saw the photos on the notice board. eh? this one jiamin ar? they keep talking about other people. Then i thought cause i didn't change a lot so they didn't say about me. & someone started shouting. "this is peckyong?!! Like some kid lei!" *cries. Then Izhar & hakim perc talked in Malay. Say jiamin tall, sookhui medium & I'm short! roar!! then sec ones also started saying. I'm bullied by the juniors
!! *Izhar laughter is super super cute! :D

Oh yea, Mr tan wanted to tell us about ghost stories of our school. Climbing the stairs keep making all those noise, try to scare me! :C Then miss chen says is auntie Mary says de. Then she still adds on, she so fierce of course not scared la! lol! Miss chen's action, trying to act like auntie Mary was so funny~

Concert ..
This concert is just crazy. So free style. -.- Just walk in like that. Some more can bring tuner?! *faint!
Wasn't really a successful one, mistakes here and there. But everyone had fun, didn't we?

Should have at least tried to smile then ..

Siying's speech make me cry. T.T Shiying beside me keep tell me don't cry le.
kelvin says i everything also cry, every time also cry, -.-
where got loh. only in band ..
cause i love band ..

Band practices are just fun.
I miss everything & everyone.
I miss Mr tan's scoldings.
I miss my crazy section.
I miss my clarinet.

can i go back to sec one and rejoin band again?

Yay! Hello people! (:

Are you glad that we survived the camp and concert?
I'm really glad that i survived the whole thing.
All that running/ pushups/ scoldings/ breakdowns, made us stronger. Don't you think so? I have people telling me, " Eh jingyee, I don't pant as much when i run already. No worries for next year's NAPFA." It's worth it.

The reason is you.

2009-12-11T23:50:00.001+08:00

I am so glad, i made it.
I ran in to the school like a mad girl, and the security guard was screaming behind me,
I saw each of you playing.
I saw the familiar faces
I saw the familiar expression, that expression of RSSB.
I cannot control myself.
There i sat, i found it.

Band life in Jc is really tough, demanding.
Often i get so dismayed and discouraged that i just wonder why did i even join band in the first place?
It takes up so much time, and all the hard work i put in,
it goes down to getting scolded during combined practise.
I am just told to work harder, and harder and harder.
I lost track of time spent grumbling on how tough it is for me in JC band.

But my dearest RSSB.
Now i know why.
Haha, though i told you already, the very reason is this band.
I joined band all over again, because i had enjoyed so much of my time in RS band
I went in AJ band in search of that similar joy in RS band.

I miss the experience in RSSB so much,
I really miss all of you so much,
I miss seating with the lower woodwinds section, playing our low and vibrating sounds
I miss nagging at the tuba section and have nigel smile back at me so adorably <3
I miss combined practise, where sometimes i accidentally doze off :P
and have weiguan shake me awake :D

I miss moving the percussion instrument for all of you.
I miss getting the death glare from mr Tan
I miss walking to CWP with you guys after band practise
I really miss all of you so much.

The songs i had played in RSSB,
All the jokes i had fooled with you all.
The juniors the friends the teachers,
Its deeply rooted in my heart

My dearest RSSB, you piece out the sweetest memories of my 17 years of life :)

To the newbies, that you may consider quitting band.
Trust my words, DONT.
dont quit, its all part of the band journey.
most band members, along their band journey, would have had this thought of giving up before.
But Don't. You will not regret it if you stayed.
Stay, and trust your section mates, they will help you :)
If not ask help from Mr Tan or Mr Tang,
My dear, hang in there :)
at the end of secondary school life,
i am sure you will join me in saying
you truly love RSSB.

Thank you for giving me such a wonderful time dearest Riverside band
I swear and promise, whatever it takes :D
I'll be back next year :)

Your beloved band senior,
Siying

2009-06-13T21:24:00.003+08:00

my dearest i have something for you guys =)

okay this is called the circle of forths =)

for the SEC4 s who are planning on dsa-ing into ajc band =) might want to check this out =)

erm, its for current band members this is useful for your transposition of concerts and scales =)

okay so how does it work?

sorry ah, cos i play bass clar, so lets take clarinet as an example.

when clarinet plays concert b flat, their starting note will be C!

so look at the circle of forths, C is two notes behind Bflat.

and when clarinet plays concert e flat, their starting note will be f

and similarly, on the circle , f is two notes behind e flat.

so using this concept, it will be easy to transpose concerts into the scale of your instrument,

and easy to memo which sharps and flats =)

hope you guys find it useful =)

JIA YOU DSA MEMBERS =)

I'LL BE THERE TO SUPPORT YOU GUYS! =)

2009-06-13T15:41:00.001+08:00

Thanks for farewell (:
vry fun, and memorable. lols (:

LOVE U GUYS :D

Ripieno
Date: 4th July 2009
Time: 7pm
Venue: Victoria Concert Hall
Price: $10 (Stall), $12 (Circle)

Come support your senior (me) ok? Majors please help me promote, and collate numbers of people going. Conductors and TIC are also welcomed.

Thanks!

2009-05-23T19:52:00.002+08:00

Hello peeps! :D

Okay after searching for some time, i finally found both our set piece and choice piece in imeem! I'm so happy la... After hearing the overture, i seriously feel like crying... I don't know why but it just bring back alot of memories for me! Esp. those times with the seniors! Peeps please go and listen ok! Whether you are a sec one or not, it doesn't matter.

Sec 2 and 3- Listen and reflect back. Did we do our best? Was it our best? What repeated mistakes did you make? Reflect on it.

Sec 1 - Let it be an example for you, spot our mistakes. Esp. the mis-pitch/ out of tune or wrong notes.

(Scroll down! You will see our school's name.)
http://www.imeem.com/velovictor/playlist/rN3FsZJt/syf-2009-central-judging-for-concert-bands-day-7-music-pla/

Other than that, Mr Tan said that he wanted to test us on the major/minor scales right?
I did some research, and i found a very good website for reference! So, at least take a look and get a better concept of what Mr Tan said.

(Btw, this is piano scales which means that those non-C instrument* need to do transpose!)
http://www.free-online-piano-lessons.com/piano-scales-major-natural-minor.html

*Non C instruments are instruments like Eb& Bb &Bass clarinets/ Alto& Tenor& Baritone saxophones/ French Horn/ Trumpets and more!

Gentle Reminder:
- Please practice your washington post march.
- Please photocopy your result slips, hand it up ASAP to the secretary when you have gotten it.
- Sec 1s do up your homework!
- SLs, section rules please!

That's all.

Hiies band members(:
It has been a super long time since i posted, and this shall be my last too(:

Well, everyone has put in their best for our last Der vogelhandler, for the last time with the graduating seniors. Although, we do know that the piece is not well done, but still, the effort is there.

And the i really appreciate it. I believe all the seniors feel this way too... (:

A very long long break for Mid-Year... do practice your instruments okay!!

I know bringing home instruments for some of you may be very troublesome, very heavy, but, for the sake of the band, for the GOAL that we wanna acheive, for that GOLD we wanted so badly, for the expectations all the graduating seniors have in all of you, RSSB, do not forget.

The batch of graduating seniors left the band in this standard, u can only improve, moving and accelerating with each and everyday, but not go downhill.

Now that SYF has just mark an end, many band members are already slacking already =x

Does it really take a band member four years, when he/she is sec 4, then will they realise that they should have work harder earlier? i've talked to many graduating seniors about this topic, and many of us regretted not working hard when we're sec 1s.
and i truely don't want any of my juniors to follow our paths, only to regret at the last moment.
push yourself harder each day, so that by sec 4, you're already a tip-top player, unlike many of the sec 4s, still struggling to become better everyday, even at the last min when we're on stage.

okay....

enough of this talkings, but ppl,

ALL THE SENIORS BELIEVE IN YOU, THAT YOU CAN DO IT. ALL OF THEM.

cos you have the best conductor in singapore, you have a bunch of very efficient and responsible teachers-in-charge. you have good leaders leading the band to greater heights.

and together, they'll be able to bring the band to even the highest peak, but first, YOU ppl must change your attitude, to improve together, to work hard together, to strive together. And only when the whole band have a common goal, common target, you'll be able to see that beacon of light together, and too, have a committed and united band, that never falls even in the toughest times.

WE, the graduating seniors, leave the band in your hands to manipulate, to the band so that you can acheive what all of you wanted.

live up to our expectations of you(:

but, dun worry!! cos we'll be coming back frequently to help out(:

and for your year -end concert, do a good one, and the best one, to tribute to all seniors who have put in their best effort when they are coaching you.

RSSB, do your best and more, stay committed, and reach out for the stars(:

i'll be supporting you with all my might, together with a whole bunch of crazy seniors who love band, love RSSB members so much=D

JIAYOU!!!!

love you guys so much =D
do take care, and all the best(:

[ graduated senior ; Nickie(: ]

HI EVERYONE!!

well, this blog is going to rot liao.. please save the blog... wahhaahaha...

ok, well, just here to sae a few words..
the sec4s has finally stepped down after todae speech dae, so the rest of the band please work hard in future, if not harder... hahs for the future yeah... you guys still got SIBF and the nxxt SYF to play so must jia you ok ( i know it is a but too early..... wateva.....)

to the junoirs in the band, must work hard kayss.... the seniors are gone and there's no one to cover you guys up if you cant play le... dun be afraid to make mistakes during combined.. at most let mr tan nag a bit then ok lo... it much better than playing the same old mistakes during performances or competitions ba. hhah yeah? and also must learn how to be self independent le... you might have yr SLs around to teach you the rhythms and notes and STUFFS ( if you guys know wat i'm taking about lols), but the final playing, wat you have learnt comes from every single individual... ur seniors cant take yr place in band... you got be seniors to ur fellow juniors in the future years.. yeah? jia you ba...

to all the SLs in the band, please lead ur respective sections well, (esp my seciton hor)... heehe, lead them to improve and not let the stanards drop from where we left from... dun let the previous SLs well, try to boost the unity of the section, and i'm sure the section will play better, and also imporve as a section not as an individual.. when some are good while others are struggling behind... very chia lat de.. so must improve tgt kays..

to all the excos in the band.. being a role model to the rest of the band, you guys got to carry out ur resepective duties well, and bring the band to greater heights.... the band has survived this far and pulled thru many setbacks, we cant give up kays? hahs must jia you, esp to the majors, who will also be leading the band to many more events up ahead in yr year of duty....

overall, just kip the band moving kays.. jia you...

hahs bb...

woa long time since i was here
haha hey people i wanted to share this long time ago.. but i sort of forgot-.-
OKAY
anw i am here to share my experience in ajc band
hope you guys get something useful out of this post

okay
i feel, ajc band has a very friendly and supportive enviroment
i remember the first time i went for their band prac, i was DAMN LOUSY-.-
i cant play a note well!
i cannot even hold it for eight complete beat
-.- i feel so small back then
BUT!
the seniors never gave up when i was about to give up!
they sat beside me and gave me alot of suggestions! they guided me along!
haha!
i am so glad that i have them man.. i think i improved alot since the first practise, and definately they have helped me alot.^^

whenever the conductor stop conducting, if he is not talking to our section, my senior would take the chance to review with me and and the other j1s about how we played just now.
they would go through with us what is to improved, and how to play better.

before combined practise, we would have sectionals too
and the student conductor would tell us what we should do during sectionals
and sectionals we really practise hard on those parts pointed out by the student conductor.
we dont just practise on parts that WE ALREADY KNOW ( hint hint wink wink -.^)
we work on intonation, long tone exercise and many other things to ensure we improve on our playing!

i remember last friday, mr alvin told us that he was going to play overture no2 and if we dont play decently for him, he is going to take the piece out and we would have to play overture no 1.
that day , during sectionals we worked very hard man!
my section went through all the more difficult parts and practised and practised.
taking note of the note lenght, the articulation the dynamic and many more!
and guess what? mr alvin said he was impressed by us, because that was only the second time we were playing that piece!

what i want to say is that, we can ALL ACHIEVE SOMETHING GREAT if we ALL WORK HARD TOGETHER
not just some work hard, but ALL work hard ^^

after all that i have shared, you may think band prac is such a bore to work so seriously
but no! we have section outings, band dinner and many other things, that help to bond the band together^^
its such a joy to be working together with them, to know that you are not the only one working hard for syf ^^

so people! BUCKLE UP and chiong all the way to syf man!
its the first and last syf for the sec 3s
the last one definately for the sec 4s and 5s
let it be a wonderful experience!
dont let all the sweat and tears(?) in all those practiseS go to waste ^^
LOVE YOU GUYS! MISS YOU ALL TOO T_T
hahaha

JIA YOU!
GOLD IS OUR GOAL!
ITS STILL POSSIBLE!
^^

2009-02-16T21:17:00.002+08:00

ello,, this blog is literally dead le ba... sec4s dun post the blog jiu rot oledi... hiyo... neva mind, i'm here to kip it alive... hahas
anyway, i believe that everyone has went for the soundcheck le ba.... on valentine sum more.. i can see that everyone is quite tired, therefore affecting the performance in the concert hall. but lets not give up kays?? there's still time for everyone to continue working hard, dun let all the seniors, esp the graduating seniors, down ok? :) i believe every graduating seniior, including me, wanted this gold very badly, cause we are leaving the band, we want to leave sth memorable for the everyone, the whole band.. we have the ability to aim higher from where we are now.

these are some comments i heard from my sax tutor, maybe i can share wif the band...

1) the sound of the band cannot travel far. everything is revolving the concert stage but cannot be heard within the audience.
2) there's no harmony, maybe because of the intonation ba...
3) the brasses overcovered the winds, the brasses can be heard more clearly but not the winds.

i believe that there's a lot more to be done, but lets not give up just yet kays.. i also hope that everyone will play their own parts well, come prepared, and not let the SLs or mr tan repeat things that have been taught cause it's a delay of the band progress.

i feel that the band was really progressing fast is the dae when the VP and mr wee came in and listened. after they left, everyone was really alert, an managed to end the band practice smoothly, and seriously i can really feel, that "that's wat i call band practices." everything was running very smoothly, even though, mr tan did screamed a bit, but it was the best practice everyone had, agree? at that rate, then band could really improve A LOT.

so lets work hard, for the seniors, the section, the band, and even for each and every individual. cause, we the seniors, do not wish to see ppl regreting that they did not play well or watsoeva... hahs :)

for our GOAL=GOLD,

CHEERS!!

Band Camp '08

2008-12-05T18:53:00.002+08:00

well hi to all. although todae is the end of our camp, i believe it is not the end of the band journey isn't it? haha.. it's been some time i managed to communicate wif all of you. my previous blog was like, few months ago?

anyway, i couldn't really think of anything of wat to sae to the band, when nickie asked for opnions for the camp and for one another. but now, i realise that it's hard to keep it inside me.

basically, i believed every single of you guys realli worked really hard for the camp, and i daresay i'm realli proud of that. everyone got to know ur section members, urself, or even ur instruments better. people get to know each other more. don't you guys think so? and thru the many sectionals, mastersclasses, or combined practice, you get to know ur strengths, weaknesses, and wat can you do, to change for the better. the section leaders can know how to conduct better sectionals for efficiency, whereas the others can get to know more on how to play better isn' it?

Drills. we can all see that, everyone really braved the hot sun, doing marching, twisting around. it isn't a good feeling, and we know that. i dunno, some of you guys might be thinking " why are we doing all these things?"
actually, here to emphasise, the drills is part of the SYF criteria. w/o drills, we can't play in SYF, not to mention the GOLD everyone agreed on right? so i wish that you guys will try to cooperate wif the majors more (i'm not saying you guys are not. haha:) ) as we all can all see that they are trying really really really hard to teach you guys as much as they can. shouting commands in the middle of the day to the whole band isn't an easy job. i know that some commands are quite tiring like marching forward, pivoting, or even standing in attention (sorry ah, i dunno how to type the commands la. but you all wat i toking right? haha:) ) but i hope that everyone will cooperate to the best of their abilities, and it's all for the band. yeah?

sounds like crapping.. haha but in this band camp, me myself had really learned alot from my friends, my section (saxophone rawks!!!!) and of course not to forget. my masterclass tutor, which is the other mr tan that is not named francis. lol :) and i hope that everyone will feel the same way as i do.

so let's work hard for the concert and of course for SYF.

ROCK THE HALL!!! HAHAHAHAHA....

to end off, i just wanna sae that i'm proud to be a member of this band, and i'm very happy to be wif each and everyone of you. so let's work hard (and play hard if there is... hahas:) ) for our future goals.
EVERYONE, GOOD JOB AND THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!!

FOR THE BAND!

CHEERS!!

HUAT AH!!!

2008-07-24T12:15:00.003+08:00

Hey, you people.
I've heard about the results last night, but we'll come to that later on.
I wanted to say this...

Yesterday, during my recess period, I went to the Robotics Room along with a few other sec 4 seniors to see you guys and give you people some moral support. :)
Was very happy to be there.
As you guys were playing, I felt kinda sad 'cause I'm no longer (officially) in band and this'd be your first competition without us sec 4 seniors.

But then, I also felt quite proud and happy for you guys, like hey. You people've finally grown up. :D
Sure, there were some mistakes here and there, but it was quite good on the overall. *thumbs up*

And I know you guys were nervous.
I mean, even I felt nervous for you people just standing at the back watching you!~ Haha. :P
As I watched you guys walk along the corridor where the music room was from my classroom, I seriously wished you guys all the best (almost wanted to run out of the classroom to wish you guys personally but it's impossible -_-) so I just wanted you guys to know my heart was with you. :)

Was nervous throughout the day, and when Nickie told me you guys didn't do so well, I still never gave up hope.
At 9 plus, I received messages from various people telling me that you guys got bronze. I felt a mixture of emotions. Of course, I felt sad. But at the same time I was proud of you guys.

Who cares if you got Bronze or Silver or Gold.
You guys actually went up there and did your best in spite of not being able to hear each other due to the acoustics. And got 74+%, which is really good due to circumstances. :)
Just let this be a learning experience for you all, don't take it as a failure. Have you never heard of 'with failure, comes success'? It's okay, never mind! Don't take this too hard okay.
Because there's still the SYF next year, and I'm sure you'll work even harder to achieve better results. Do us proud, okay! :D

I'll be back, trust me. :)
All the best, good luck people!

Love, Juliana.

2008-07-24T11:57:00.002+08:00

hey guys ..
siying here...
yeh.. the competition is over..
i dont know. if i am right

but i am surethere is a mixture of feelings now..
relieve?? sad?? happy?? blank..

how did i feel...
at first.. blank.. then honestly i felt proud..

you know what..
i guess for us senior.. to finally see you guys
going on your first competition without us..
we felt of course worried.. bu she de..
but more than ever.. for me...
it is proud..
got a feeling of seeing "my kids" grow up

seriously speaking.. i did not visit you guys alot
while you were preparing for the exam..
reason being ..
i believe in you..
believe what??
not believe you will get very very good results
but believe that you will do your best..

that counts..
if you have given your heart to that moment on stage.

regrets.. that we were just a few points from silver?
regrets that you did not do something well?

dont forget about what you did well too ^^

well it is imortant that we learn from our mistake..
my first competition..
2006 NBC
i forget to play a repeat bar..
and i was totally lost..
how devastated i felt.
but i learn not to do that again..

my dears..
my faith is really in you

you must have faith too
put aside uncertanities..
put aside weariness..
remeber your passion for band...

that will be what drives you to your way to your goal..

subcuming to fears.. nervous..
would the be letting down to every faith people has put in this band..
the past seniors..
the past conductors..
the past teachers in charge..
and also mr tan and tang..

i love you guys..
and proud of that bronze..

jia you ^^

A little bit of background information on NYCO. Nanyang Chinese Orchestra has gotten Gold with Honours in both 2005 & 2007 SYF. Really outstanding if you ask me! :0

So if you're interested in watching this fabulous Chinese Orchestra perform, please inform me ASAP. :)
Cheers!
