Transfer of Webpages

Hi band members,

Due to the irritating and troublesome Wordpress interface which does not support heavy javascript codings, I have decided to revert back to our Blogger webpage. Web address bishanparksymphonicband.blogspot.com
_______________________________________________________________
Alright, back to topic. I have uploaded a countdown timer on the top left hand of this blog. We have less than 40 days to SYF and do you think we are ready for it?   The answer is quite an obvious NO.


Today's exchange with ZhengHua and Geylang Methodist was a reality check, whether we are near our Goal (GOLD) or not. Unfortunately, our performance today only concluded that we are drifting away from our Gold Medal. I am sure you are aware of that... mistakes here and there.

We have already come a long way since we started sight reading our Die Fledermaus a year ago, performed it numerous times for concerts, and practiced millions of times on it. I'm very certain that you will not let our efforts go down the drain. The great killer of this band is our internal pulse. - meaning that we are rushing/slowing down here and there! It is very obvious and I am sure you all heard it today at the exchange.
Those who didn't turn up for the exchange, please update yourself with your sectionmates as there are some changes made to the playing styles.

On a brighter note, I appreciate those who turn up for band despite your busy schedule. I can see many of you putting in effort but frankly, I would say there are still MANY improvements to be made. (eg discipline, music). THIS IS the final lap. 30 days to SYF.

For the Sec 4s this is your LAST SYF, 3 years has passed since we picked up our instruments, so please join us for the last mile and strive for excellence.
Sec 3,2,1s this is your first SYF. It is not going to be an easy one. I hope you will put in extra effort to push up the standard of the band. Once the Sec 4s step down in April, the band will be in the realm of the Sec 3s.

Next band practice will be on Monday 7th March. Please be punctual, those who have classes i hope to see you displaying sense of urgency.

BM- Bryan
