12 more days

Yesterday was the exchange @ Dunman High with Yio Chu Kang Secondary and Dunman High. If you guys think we played very well, you can change you thinking.
Our playing yesterday was not very well done, it is still very, very, very far from our Gold with Honours/Gold.
I appeal to everyone, we have only 12 more days left.

Repeat : 12 more days

We all want our band to maintain the Gold standard that we have set for mssb 2 years ago.
Please, we do NOT want to see that standard dropping.
We believe that you guys are mature and have enough common sense to do what is right.

I repeat again, we have only 12 more days.
and we still have not even reached a low gold standard.
Think we are good?
Think again.

Please, i appeal to everyone, just WORK HARD for this short period of 12 days.
You may not want our Gold, but there are 40+ other people in our band, who have WORKED to try and get our gold, and yet you guys are slacking. You are letting down those who have worked for it.

Remember : It is not because of you, that there is a band.
It is there's a band, that there is you



Announcements to MSSB:

• Please note that there will be yet another exchange next Saturday, 7th of March, at Maris Stella High School's Shaw Hall. Schools such as : St.Gabriels, St.Joseph Instituition, Whitley Secondary School, Bedok North Secondary, Monfort Secondary and a few other bands would be coming to our school for the exchange programm.

• This applies to everyone in mssb: Be reminded that if you do not have the Maris Stella whtie long pants, please go and buy it AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. This note is directed especially to the Lower secondary band members. Also, if you do not have a Long-sleeved white shirt, also please buy it ASAP. As this will be our dress code for SYF along with the blazers, which sizes would be taken soon.
  

• Before combined practices, take some time to tune yourselves. Do not waste time running through both pieces as i believe that we are all very familiar with our pieces and need not waste time on them. Instead, our main problem now is the INTONATION problem. People who are not in tune and not 'agreeing' with each other in your own section or even the band. Please take the time to tune every single note of yours before official band practice hours and not waste everyone's time by tuning you during full band prac.

• Final reminder: We have only 12 days left, and we are NOT, i repeat: NOT yet at our Gold with Honours/Gold standard. Please work hard, not for Mr Chiang, not for me, not even for yourselves, but for everyone in the band.
