This is my 1st post here....but that's not the main point.

My main point of this post is about the sec2s.(Okay i'm a sec2,but you don't know who am i :D)

Hey guys,I don't know if you are still in your dreams or whatever,but I hope you have realised that we are sorely lagging behind,in fact,we shouldn't be languishing in this state at this point of time(i'm not good in english so yeah don't blame me)



I hope all of us,or at least some,have come to realise what standard are we at now.I can only use 1 word to describe it,lousy.Seriously,don't you guys think we need some much-needed improvement?



How to improve,you would ask.Our new conductor, as all of you should know, was very disappointed and angry with our performance last friday.

He has already pointed out that basics is the thing that we should be doing right now.I know its boring,but music itself is made up of basics isn't it?


Many of us would think that basics are boring, and therefore detest to do it.However,if we want to improve,what we can do now is to heed his advice,and do basics frequently.


Coming for self practice is one of the effective ways to improve isn't it?Doing the basic stuff for like,30mins?Just drop by the band room,assemble your instrument,play the chromatic scales,long notes,scales,etc.30mins to 1 hour shouldn't be taking too much time off our studies right?



It may not seem appropriate for me to say all these,but we seriously need to improve,we ARE seniors already,we are already sec2,no longer sec1.


It won't take long before we reach sec3,sec4,and become the people that would lead the band.


You would probably say 'its still far away',but think again,1 year just flashed past us,how long would it take for another year to pass by again?We have streaming this year,sec3 is gonna be even busier,sec4...you know yourself.Why not take this chance,while we are still sec2,while we still have the time,to lay our foundation well,to seriously bring our level of playing to a new level?



Time is against us,we are constantly racing against time,why not we use this year to improve ourselves and not let our seniors down?Our seniors are not always there for us,we should depend on ourselves.Sight reading,scales,BASICS,we can do it ourselves isn't it?


Let's work hard together,starting from this new lunar new year.Let's not let ourselves down.Shall we?
