Heyyo!

Yes, you all will have to bring your mc and letter the next band prac. Or else will get punishment. However, your punishment wont be as brutal as your SL's. Becos your SL will 24/7 be responsible for EVERYTHING within the section. And your SL will receive double the punishment than the members. So I beg you all. Pleeeeeaaaaase bring your mc and letters! Pity your SL. So poor thing right?. =.=

Another thing, to whoever who editted the blogskin and everything, you spelt rasYiqah's name wrongly. Er, hello ? Should I repeat myself again? EVERY PERCUSSIONISTS SHOULD KNOW YOUR MEMBERS WELL AND THAT INCLUDES THEIR NAMES. Must know each and every member well okay?. Good. XD

Next, I apologise for the troublesome of distributing the scores. Unfortunately, we can't distribute your scores for score-study, as much as it kills me to say this! Because if you dont score study all of us will have a hard time playing when band resumes which is like next tuesday. This is due to my fear of losing the rest of the scores AGAIN. It's not that I dont trust you guys and girls. It's just that the percussionists-missing-scores kind of thing has been happening since like .. i dont know. maybe even before I was in dmss. So yeah. Anyway, we will also have a hard time putting all the scores back into the new files(bought by Dhaniah) as you all know that we always have numerous parts. In fact, more than the other sections. So must thank her whenever you all meet her okay! yes, she bought files for us. To be a good percussionist, it all starts from your attitude like respect your seniors and being polite. So whenever you meet dhaniah, must thank her kay!=D

I also wanna tell you people about packing scores. When the leaders inform the band that there's a need to pack your files, i have to say it's a MUST for you to come back during sectionals to do it. DONT RELY ON YOUR SENIORS. WE ARE NOT OCTOPUSES WHO CAN DO ALOT OF THINGS AT ONE TIME. Don't expect us to do it for you. You are big enough to do things on your own. And pity your SL AGAIN. Because she has been the one packing and searching for your scores EVERYTIME. And it's very irritating and annoying packing the files without anyone's help. So, all of us have to lend a helping hand and play a part to pack your files. It's YOUR SCORE so it is your responsibility to search for it. Yes, the SL will always get the punishment but not you even if it's not the SLs fault. If this continues, when will you ever learn the meaning of responsibility? When will you grow up and be matured? When will you ever stop being ignorant and keep on relying on your seniors?

Sec 1s, I'm happy with your improvement. At least you showed up during sectionals. But you also have to help your seniors. Soon, you will be the next generation of leaders to lead the section. So, it is still not too late for you to start being initiative. Don't always expect a message from your SL to keep reminding you about sectionals, audition and etc. It is your job to come for sectionals to improve on your playing. This also goes for the sec. 2s.

Let me say this. I want EVERYONE to learn to play EVERY percussion instruments. I dont care if its hard or whatever but this is for your own good. You will never know if one day your SL, ASLs or seniors are absent for practice leaving you alone in the section. And then comes a new song to learn and there're no seniors to play the .. drumset for example or mallets or timpani. Starting now onwards, I want everyone to do what I mention above. I'm not forcing you or something. You can just watch your seniors play and then learn from them.

Sec. 2s, I want you to grow up. It's almost time for you to lead the juniors. The sec. 3s will be very busy this year. So, I want you to change for the better. Like be initiative. For example, listen carefully to the instruction given by the leaders. Dont keep asking your seniors like "Eh ! what to do now?" or "Now do what?" or "must do warm-up or not?". I want this to stop. And don't wait for the seniors to say that oh, you all have to do this now. DOnt play or joke around anymore. You guys have been in band for almost 2 years. You should know what to be expected and to do during band prac. If you dont know, I SMACK YOU uh.

OKay thats all. Sorry for the long post.
See ya in band.

toodles.
