hey, zuriel here...

I would want to talk about what we have been doing for the past few weeks on our standard of music. For where i can see it i see that we are all putting in our effort even if we are not showing it much, but its the willingness to actually put in the effort! I also want to talk about our music yesterday on thursday...

Jericho:
We overall did it well and we kept in tempo, we also remembered important parts and did it well. But some parts we were rushing at the end part R and we need to be more conscious of out timing.

Overture No. 1:
This song we always play with a lot of confidence and strength, indeed this is good but when we do this we may tend to rush a little and get out of tempo. USE YOUR EARS AND LISTEN! dont just listen to yourself and hv the attitude that if u are in tempo, tats it. Listen to the rest of the band, perhaps its easier to listen to the person beside to you playing the same part so try and tune to him. But actually this song we do it quite impressively!

I also want to bring up the issue on sectionals... during sectionals when SL or any one of us are conducting, it oes not matter who conducts (cause hes the conductor) so must still show respect and listen to him. We tend to talk a lot when the conductor cuts and when he wants to move on, we are talking away already. SO lets try and improve our discipline, we can joke, but at the right times. If we can do this i really call this good... like tat we are happy and the conductor does not get frustrated, so in the end everybody gains. We are overall on track and improving every parade, so if we continue i am sure we will taste victory!!!
