well, we just got the set piece for SYF next year. it's called "two overtures for wind band", and reading through the conductor's score, all i can say is

GOOD LUCK (we'll need it. don't forget lots of practise too.)

of course, not everything is bad news. all sctions have been making progress, and i think that if we can keep at this pace we could be well on our way to winning a gold with honours next year. mr. oura has been pretty content with how we have been doing so, keep up the good work everybody! especially the sec 1s, who are probably stil new to this band life, and also relatively new to your instruments as well. for you, SYF next year will probably the most challenging thing to happen to you in your four years of band life, since it's your first time probably performing in front of a real crowd for real judges, not forgetting you are representing your school as well. don't be scared though, just do your best. don't forget each person up there has the support of the others as well. (unless you are doing some solo.) for those who still can't play relatively well, don't fret, there is still time for you to learn. just make sure you put in the effort. that's what counts.


oh and jun hong, you still owe me 40 pushups and counting... (i didn't forget what happened you know...)

Till next post...

P.S should i continue designing cards for a 3T deck, or should i wait for next year to see what are the new positions? and who can give me tips on how to draw? thnx.

P.S.S most people whose blogs i've read are getting OIP withdrawal symptoms. tsk tsk...
