Post-Band Fiesta

By Joseph. Posted in Misc. | No Comments »

Hi all,

The exco would like to thank everyone for coming down on a Sunday just to play for this concert.

As of now, we have only 3 pracs left. 3 pracs to finalise everything before we go Hawaii. We have to make the best use of it.

  1. Polish up Spring March (Remember what Mr Leng has gone through)
  2. Polish up Shenandoah (Same as Spring March)
  3. Work on your Machu Picchu – get back our last year SYF’s phrasing, expression, clarity and intonation. [1st Priority]

3 pracs are all we have left. Jiayou.

Band Fiesta

By Joseph. Posted in Misc. | No Comments »

Hi guys,

Tomorrow’s reporting time is 12pm @ SALT main hall. We will need to move the percussion instruments first as we are the school that’s providing the instrument. We will be moving to SCH around 3+pm.

On another note, tomorrow will be the first public performance of our 3 competition pieces. It will be our debut, and so we have to take the limelight away from the rest of the performing bands. If we fail tomorrow, how will we take the limelight away from the rest of the bands in Hawaii? Look confident, look proud. You know how much work you have put into those 3 pieces. It will be the only time you get to play in front of an audience before Hawaii, make the best use of it.

Good luck guys, you know you can do it.

Hi guys,

As of today, there’s only a mere 9 days left before we board the plane for Hawaii… That’s only 6 more band pracs left.

Frankly speaking, it’s quite heartening to hear that somehow, the pieces are looking good, both competition and outdoor pieces. I would like to thank everyone who stayed back so late today >< I know it’s asking a lot, but thanks so much. It’s but a mere 9 days, let’s choing this last 9 days. Jiayou guys

As one HCIBAND, we can make it!
