hi saxes! this is your USL, vong cherng hao posting :) i shall talk about 3things today: wed's sectionals, SCH rehearsal and sat's band rehearsal. WED'S SECTIONALS though it was already the second time i'm taking sectionals, i would still say i learnt a lot from it, and it definitely was a fun and enriching experience :) good job saxes! i hope all of you would continue with the good work and not get complacent ok? to all the sec2s, feel free to approach any of your seniors (including ME) if you don't know how to play any rhythm or don't know the fingering for any notes. no need to feel shy....... xD i know that one day you people will be able to outshine us, if you work hard enough :) because you all have the potential to do so. must buck up ok? sec2 already, no more slacking le. got juniors already leh! xD OVERTURE: overall not bad. but still must work on running notes - not clear/not together enough. band is all about teamwork. so must listen to one another and make sure all of you follow the conductor's (or whoever is conducting's) tempo ACCURATELY. come in confidently at the second bar of letter A also.. IMPORTANT! doesn't matter if other sections play soft, just play like you always do :) JERICHO: overall not bad, but not as good as overture. tenor sax should come out more in bar3. at 'victory', please take care of intonation (mainly alto saxes) triplets should be more even at letter J and F, and remember to play them together as a section. sec2s, again, please practise more on your running notes at 'celebration'. SCH REHEARSAL as you all know, there will be sound check at SCH this coming sunday, 15th feb. here are the details (applicable only to SYF members): reporting venue/time: SJI band room, 12.30pm. attire: concert attire (remember to bring your blazer!) SCH sound check time slot: 3.30-4.30pm dismissal place/time: SJI band room, 5.30pm SAT'S BAND REHEARSAL remember to take down whatever mr tan says about our section. and talk less during rehearsal :) one last thing, always bear in mind that PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! (don't come jack me and say 'but no one's perfect, so why practice?' i don't CARE!!.. ) that's it for the day. till i post again, BYEBYE!
Yours Wonderfully.sji-saxes at 6:33 PM |
