Merry Christmas!!!

Hi everyone...

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

Haha... Hope you all enjoyed a wonderful christmas...

Anyway, the chalet will be from the 26th to 28th of December, which is Friday to Sunday. Reporting time is at 4pm, and please bring along some snacks or food too. It is at Downtown East. We will SMS the room number to you tomorrow. You all may want to meet somewhere first before going to the chalet, so there won't be any people that are missing.

For those that made blazers, they are ready for collection at the SA office. The price is $17.50.

There is also a change of plan on Monday's practice. Band practice will be from 6.30pm to 8.30pm. Then there will be orchestra practice from 8.30pm to 9.30pm. Pieces that we are practicing for orchestra will be Tchaikovsky No. 2 and A Orchestra Fanfare. Only Jiexin and Hong Ghee need to attend the orchestra practice.

The MM Lee performance is on 5th January 2009, and there will be a full run through at the atrium on 2nd January 2009 which is a friday. Excuse letters will be given.

Please also take note of the email I sent earlier.

Hey people....

Enjoying your break from band? haha... Ok anyway some updates... As most of you would know, some clarinetists are currently planning some chalet or bbq for the section... But its not really comfirmed yet, or maybe I still don't know somethings... Well but anyway, its the exam break now... So people, STUDY HARD!!!! hahaha... Although its killing me now... Exams, tests and sadistic lecturers should be made illegal... They are morally unethical...

Ok whatever haha.... This post is just to stop the blog from stagnating further...

Wee...

Byes... :)

Hey people...

Are you all missing Vienna and Salzburg right now? haha... Anyway, great job for everyone of us... Our hardwork paid off, and we have achieved on the 6th July 2008,

1st place in the category "Symphonic Band" with excellent success,
Winner of the Summa Cum Laude Award of the City of Vienna in the category "Symphonic Band"

Woohoo!!!! You all deserve a pat on your backs... haha...

Anyway, I am just here to remind you that there will be no band practice this week, and Sinfonique practice resumes on 21 July... Which is next monday, 6.30pm at the bandroom... So please be there... haha...

Thats all... Hope you all don't have jet lag now... hahaha... Mine is killing me...

Ok... byebye... :)

Clarinet section if you are not going for any sectionals or practices, please call me or message me to tell me why BEFORE the practice...

All I can say is I am very disappointed... I am sure all of you are young adults... So please behave like one... If you are not coming, tell me... I am sure in your secondary school you will tell your section leader automatically if you are not coming... So if a secondary school student can have that type of discipline, why don't poly students have it... Especially the year 1s... Some of you have never told me why you all did not appear for practice, ever yourself... I don't want to treat you all like some primary school kid, need to call you every practice to ask if you are coming or not...

Today's attendance was atrocious... ONLY 4 PEOPLE CAME??? And only Fahmi, Mabel and Angeline bothered telling me... What about the rest??? Let me just say this simply... YOU STOOD ME UP!!!! And I believe its not the first time too... You think I don't have projects and work? I have tons of projects to do too... But I still went for the sectionals... Why? Cause I thought all of you are going, and should not just throw you all aside 3 days before flying to Vienna... If you have alot of work, you could have told me... At least I know how many people is going, I can decide whether to cancel it or not, and do my project which is due tomorrow...

So, the bottomline is, if you are not coming, be it practice or sectionals, please tell me automatically... Not after I call you... And tell me why... At least I can account for your absence... I would greatly appreciate your kind gesture of courtesy...
