Belated Entry for the New Term

Hi everyone. As the title suggests, this post shall be my personal Term 3 Resolution for the band (a belated one, of course). Hope everyone enjoyed their term 2 June holidays (I don't think the sec3s really enjoyed their holidays. Haha), learnt a lot through the band concerts we had, and also caught up with fun and work.

The next project we will be having is the upcoming CHS Homecoming Day 2007, 30th June. We'll be setting up our own CHSSB stall, selling unwanted merchandise (but in good quality) and also tickets of our concert. Hope everyone will give their best in publicising our stall (especially for the tickets), although this event isn't really that major, compared to our concerts. And of course, earn as much money as possible :)

Now for the real resolution for term 3: In general, I hope to see the band improve (that goes without saying) in terms of attitude, tone and technique, discipline and inter-relationship (relationship among one another).

Personally, I wish to instil passion for music to each and everyone of us. Instead of coming for band rehearsals because of the fact that it is compulsory or because you're scared that your senior would come hunting for you, I hope that every member comes to band because you want to make music, and to enjoy music. Of course, facing the facts, harsh (or sadistic) disciplining works sometimes, but is there really a need to undergo such discipline in order to come to band (which is like... so basic), or to pay attention to Ms Tan? Well, I don't think so... So please, understand what I'm talking about (since I can't force you to have the passion overnight). LOVE MUSIC.

Needless to say, for tone and technique, which the seniors had been harping on for years, is the most crucial point to a better band. Basically, just PRACTISE! You can always approach your senior or tutor for advice on practising smart and help in improving on your personal technique. Hopefully we'll be able to at least attain a band that plays in-tune and be balanced.

Last but not least, we hope to see the motto of our band ONE BAND ONE SOUND ONE BROTHERHOOD, being realised. One brotherhood: Help one another out, know one another better, know your section well, know your band well. The sec3s might organise a band camp soon?

So I suppose that's all for my part. Hope to see more people blog (see? "One Brotherhood". Share your feelings and thoughts, just don't make any controversial comments).

WORK HARD EVERYONE!

And PLEASE. Use your real name...
