Hi guys, I'd like to talk about this week's sectionals and our exchange on Saturday, 6th March. Okay. I came late as usual for sectionals, but this week's one was kind of special, because we had combined sectionals with the other sections. I think that this is very important, especially as it is nearing to SYFs already. Like what Mr Tan had said, we have to be sensitive and be aware of what other sections are playing. Playing with the clarinets and flutes will help us in creating a better wind band, being more sensitive to each others. I think future sectionals should be like such, as it would benefit not only the poeple in our section but also those from the other sections. There was a slight improvement in the sectionals. And I felt that I personally learnt that I have to be aware of the other sections, especially those that play the same part as us. NEXT: 6th MARCH BAND EXCHANGE. The band exchange was okay, I guess. However, some people are quite busy-body to know the other people in the other band such as I would say that our performance was excellent during the exchange. I personally didn't feel very nervous as compared to the Serangoon exchange. I think from the 2 exchanges, we would have learnt something from the other bands and hoped that we apply these things into our playing, such as proper balancing and pitching. Okay. Besides these two there's also another thing I would like to say. I think everyone in the section knows about it la. But I'll just say it again. For fun :) The order of the bands were released, and we are.. FOURTH DAY, FIRST BAND. I think it is an advantage to us, just like what Mr Tan said, we would have a fresh mind and perform at our best. However the proper balancing is still required and ultimately it is the balanced sound that the judges are looking for. Hopefully we would perform at our best and achieve our main goal! :) That's it from me. Bye. Zainul
