Hi. Just an update.

Sectionals and band practice will resume next week. On monday, the band store will be opened in the morning for you to put back your drumsticks. It's a M-U-S-T to bring back the drumsticks that you have loaned. And there will be sectionals. Unfortunately, we wont be practising that much. Instead, we will have to repack the scores to prepare for the band practice on the next day which is on Tuesday. Including re-photocopying the scores.

However, i wont be in the bandstore right after school as my lessons end at 2.30pm. So, i shall put someone in charge. Congratulations to this lucky person!

Packing of scores.
Main i/c : Sophia and Zoey
Photocopying of scores : Suhaib, Rasyiqah, Dhaniah
Writing of bar numbers : Angie, Zetty, Niva
Searching of scores : Justin, Zoey

REMEMBER! Scores that we're not using always put at the back of the file. For example, if you find a Fairytale's score inside the file, put it at the back of the file and not back into the ring file.

Seniors. Do guide your sec. 1s on their roles. Ensure they are familiarised with everything that is to be done for score-packing.

Scores with a lot of parts, photocopy at least 3 sets. Or maybe following the number of parts in the song. For example, Made in Singapore for accessories have maracas, claves and timbales all in 1 score, photocopy 3 sets. Make sure there's enough for everyone. Having extra sets would be better in case one is misplaced.

Those who have read this post, do me a favour. Pass on the msg to the rest. Inform them about what to do during sectionals before monday.Meaning you have the weekends to inform your friends/seniors/juniors.

I dont want any of you to skip this sectionals. I dont care what your reasons are. If I find out anyone of you who are absent for this, you are sure gonna get it from me. Worst, the leaders. If you dont come, I'll make sure that you come and do EVERYTHING the next time during sectionals. That includes photocopy ALL SCORES, WRITING BAR NUMBERS AND SEARCHING THE SCORES and they are to be done all by YOURSELF w/o anyone's help. That is if you skip sectionals on monday.

I am tired of reminding you. Even worst, some of you did not turn up AT ALL for the past few times when the bandstore is specially open to loan your sticks and bring back the scores.

I dont want anything to be messed up again. I'll come to help when my lessons end.

What I have mentioned above, I really really mean it. Yeah, it's not a joke.

See ya people in bandstore on monday!
ps DO PRACTICE ON YOUR HAND WARM-UPS AT HOME.
