HI BANDSMEN ! Though its a little late but , GOOD JOB FOR APPASSIONATO II ! Nicely played and i'm sure you all enjoyed yourselves at the last part when we sang and danced right :D ?
To me , thats the first step of the band getting the feeling back ! I believe we can improve even further ! But i have to say something bad as well , most of you ran around w/o telling any of your SLs or the leaders . we had to go around and look for you all , next time if we have any event , please inform your SLs okay ?
But in anyway , GOOD JOB BANDSMEN (Y)

Percussion sectionals: 9am - 12noon
Combine: 1pm - 5pm

2. I realised that not many people came for today's sectionals. Why is it so? Attendance is horrible. Some people still can tell me craps like you don't know the dates. Mr Lum DID told the whole band to write down okay.
The leaders called some of you guys, you all can give us excuses like my mum don't allow me to come, SLs never pass down message, don't feel like coming. What nonsense?! This is getting from bad to worse seriously. Some of you didn't attended many practices, you better give your MC to Sharon if you're sick & for those with no valid reason, you'll bear the consequences.

3. The whole band please come at 8am for drills tomorrow, is still not up to standard. There will be a half an hour break in between. Those who fail to come, you will get it from us.

4. People who haven tell Zhi Qing when you're going overseas, better tell her by this week. See you guys tomorrow.

As all of you know that the Hong Kong Trip is cancelled. Please DO explain properly to your parents. Basically, is that we are unable to book the air tickets anymore, because some of our bandsmen are unable to confirm until now. And it will cost us a bomb if we fly there on our own. I hope you guys will understand. And also, REFLECT on what you guys had been doing this past few months. Yes, we may be upset, but we have to move on. Focus on our SYF drill video, followed by our SYF. Let's work hard together, and shall not disappoint Mr Lum, of course ourselves too!

In case you've forgotten, the consequence of not handing up:
WRITE A LETTER OF WITHDRAWING OUT OF SYF.

3. Bind your rhythm books if you have not done so & write in the countings as well.
By now you should have your own set of Kaze No Mai & A Day at Disneyland scores.
Write in the bar numbers for Kaze No Mai.
