Hey everyone,

There will be no more official band practices during the September holiday. Band practices will only resume after the EOY examinations. However, do still take time off during this period to practice your instrument. 30minutes a day should be the minimum! I am sure you do not wish to lose your hard earned tone. And please do spend some time listening to band songs! :D

Lastly, all the best for your EOY examinations.

-Cong Yang :D
