Pre - Band Day !

2010-03-26T08:36:00.001-07:00

Hey guys!

This will be my official last post as a Webmistress. Sorry that I've been really a bad Webmistress, for all the lack of updates!

Yeah, its Band Day tomorrow!

You people are really improving, I feel proud to see the achievement, secondary ones are also pregressing well! And what really motivates the leading batch to do even more comes from all these small little things, that we can find satisfaction in, replenishing our energy. So, do continue to improve alrights! (: You guys will be a great show at NBC.

But always remember, Pride comes before a Fall. So please do stay humble. If you think you are good, there's always room for improvement. Continue seeking improvement, instead of staying stagnant at the i-think-i'm-good-standard alright.

SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE :D

For secondary ones, do start looking forward to your Recitals okay (: And those who are catching up, good for you! Those who are not, please do not start panicking. You are only a two-months old baby in band. Take your time. Steady wins the race. Like the bunny and the tortoise story is it, haha. Okay, in other words, take it at your own path. (: You always have nice and friendly seniors, (yes, like ME:D) around to help. Although we'll be leaving soon, but feel free to approach us for help anytime alright, (: you always have ever-ready-seniors also. (:

Okay, I shall not talk too much here. Yeah, thats all. (:
Always remember, 50-1=0
AHBAND didn't fail our maths, that's the way we survive.

All the Best! (:

(Also, I've updated the exco and sl list >>>)
(: and don't worry, you won't get to enter this blog until after Band Day tomorrow)

AHBAND ..

and as cute as this ;D

Besides having fun, there's always ..

- SELF DISCIPLINE
(this picture is quite meaningful right (: )

In AHBAND,
Unity bonds every single member.

And together, AHBAND perservere and overcome all obstacles, achieving success.

and finally, AHBAND makes beautiful music together (:

Okay, I found all these pictures myself and I know it's a little that childish. But then.. Oh wells ..

Alrights,
that's all I wanna say.

AHBAND,
Perservere and Success will comes knocking on your door. (:

2010-03-16T08:49:00.000-07:00

HEY DEAR AHBAND!

Soon, the sec4s are gonna handover to sec3s and we've our new leading batch for NBC, Japan trip and SYF!!!!!
You guys have a great deal of vvvvvvv impt events coming up, and I'm sure you'll all be tied up! Then, the stress and urgency will all come in, but it is then when you guys will show us and Mr & Mrs Chua how well you're able to survive and pull through and do well under all these pressuring times!

JIAYOU AHBAND!

I know everything seems to be coming too soon, but good things come to an end! So yeah, hope that by the time it's handover, you guys will be able to take on this responsibility as the leading batch, and bring AHBand to greater heights! Haha.. And to the rest of the band, support your seniors and cont learning and improving aft every self prac, sectional, band prac, performance, and concert!

Anyw, for the sec1s who're still clueless abt what handover is ...
Handover, as literally as it means, is the time where the leading batch (sec4s) pass on the responsibility to the sec3s. During this time, top5 and comm posts will be allocated to some sec3s and sec2s. Section leaders and asst too!
The Top5 is made up of the Band Major, Asst Band Major, Drum Major, Concert Master/Mistress & General I/C. The band committee is made up of the Asst General In Charge, Quarter Masters, Treasurer, Asst Treasurer, Librarians, Asst Librarian, Uniform I/C, Asst Uniform I/C, NYAA (national youth achievement award) I/C & Asst NYAA I/C.
The current AHBand Ex-Co is at the right of this pg under "somebodies", so you guys can take a look if you're still blur about it!
But in 1++ wk's time, the list is gonna change!!!!! :D
HAHA. That calls for a great celebration!! (kidding)

So, hope all of you are excited for handover to come, haha.. I wanna see all of you ready to take over! That'd be awesome.. Not that you all want us to leave, but you all are READY, like READY STEADY POMPIPI!

We're in the midst of March hols, please remember to do your homework because you don't wanna be clearing up hol h/w when sch reopens! As for sec4s who're cracking their heads like me over handover, jiayou! Haha..
*Must still have sectionals ah! (That IS an order!)
*Band pracs are still on so your attendance is required! (Plus, since when is it that band pracs aren't compulsory? They never were and won't ever be! Haha! So, that goes into your common sense!)

Any questions or problems or what not, you all can consult us (seniors) yeah! Even studies also can, we've some really brainy ppl around, haha.. Please don't hold back or feel paiseh, shy or whatever okay! Aft all, we're gonna be "AFB" (that's Away From Band since there's AFK, HAHA!) for awhile, but will drop down occasionally whenever free, so do "make full use" of us (sec4s) as what Qian Lin has mentioned on Mon!

Enjoy yourselves in AHBand always!
Since you have to be here, might as well be happy that you're here and when you're here! (It's all in the mind!)

(paiseh for the bad English, I'm not really proficient in it, haha)
& main band, 潜能!! :D

today's THE DAY!

2010-01-23T00:29:00.000-08:00

AHBAND!!!!!!!

I know I should be slping right now, ohmytian, why am I not asleep yet, but anyw, felt like ranting here hahaha.. Hmm, many of your dear sec4s are staying up NOT because they don't wanna slp or too high, we're doing stuff and preparing this and that for concert, so yeah.. Haha..

Hope you all will really play your heart out kays, be the best, be your best!
And remember, your potential is NOT shallow HAHAHA. AND OHMYTIAN I JUST REALISED POTENTIAL IS 潜能 HAHAHAHAHAHA.. Sorry ah, lousy Chinese hahaha.. I kept thinking it was 浅能 so I actually told you all the wrong thing just now but anyw, just keep that in mind lah hors.. Haha..

Again, here's the quote I told you all just now:

Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be.
-Karen Ravn

The first line applies for me hahahaha, the second applies for all of us to look far far, lay down our route and plan for what's up, then the third is yeah the 浅能 isn't 潜能 thingy HAHA and finally, sweet dreams to fulfil! :D

So yup, we'll have alot to learn from ea other, and don't stop at later, don't stop at your best! You've got a longlonglonglongloooooooonnggggg way to go!

Give La Danse Finale all you've got cos you've got it all!

hello ahband!!!

2009-12-03T07:24:00.000-08:00

HELLO AHBAND!!!

Haha, since Qian Lin has posted, I have decided to liven this blog up too! :D

Firstly, I'd like to ask all of you to go AHBand Chalet!! Cos it's gonna be sooooooooo fun (of course!) w me around HAHAHAHA.
Anyw, that's not the pt. Pt is, you get to meet super alot of awesomely cool ppl like me, and my dear batchmates, and alumni, and your own batchmates and jrs.. Haha, sounds like everyday meet de ppl right.. But of course, AHBand must be like family. Family everyday meet, AHBand every day meet. HAHA.. Well, yeah, just go and have fun lah.. Talk to ppl you don't always chat w, bond w ppl you're acquainted w (which is everyone) and all, yup..

Next, yes, Qian Lin has mentioned -> XMAS FIESTA & LA DANSE FINALE!!!!!!
XMAS FIESTA Jrs, esp sec1s, this is really your show. Go on and show your mama papa how good you are! Haha, and 展现 your prowess LOL.. (this is so kungfu oO) And sec2s, give your jrs support, altho youall are not required to coach and teach them yet, jiayou for them! Be a senior that they can go to if they have any difficulties, and that youall are capable of leading the jrs in future (I believe so). Sec3s, show the jrs's parents that they are in good hands! Haha, make sure that altho we are leaving the jrs to prac for this thing themselves, we also keep track of their progress and help them wherever we can. We don't have such a thing when we were younger in AHBand, so enjoy yourselves during the whole thing, even if not playing! See how our jrs have grown (HAHA)! &&& of course, show our teachers-in-charge, and Mr & Mrs Chua that we all can have fun while making music! :D

LA DANSE FINALE Sec1s, first concert in AHBand! Believe me, your first concert is usually the most memorable! And so, do strive hard to make sure that it is, positively! Moreover, youall will be sec2s during the concert! And sec2s, during the concert, youall will be sec3s! Upper sec, old, leading batch to come! You guys must really show that youall can pull your batch tgt, and chiong.. This concert may be just a concert, but it is a really impt stepping stone to NBC and then, SYF, in which youall will lead the band to. So, I really hope to see all of you 振作起来 and be ready to take up this responsibility yeah! Finally, my dear sec3s! It's our last concert in AHBand as an official member, so obviously, we want it to be a success! Let's make this a blast (yes blast, no more boomz hahaha), and show ppl that AHBand's not to be messed w (LOL).. Let them know that our 3 yrs in AHBand, the pia-ing and hiong-ness is not wasted. Show them that we are able to lead our jrs well, and improve the band. Also, take this chance to build rapport w alumni, teachers-in-chrage and Mr & Mrs Chua! We're leaving quite v soon, so 好关系 w alumni is impt, haha, and we must be grateful to those who've always been behind pushing us, and in front pulling us! So yeah! You get it uh..

This quote that I love from Lilo & Stich:

Ohana means family. Family means nobody is left behind.

Always be reminded to get your bandmates back on track! Help them however you can, esp thru playing, if you know better. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask your seniors or whoever that you think knows better.
We see you guys as family, so we won't leave you guys behind. Don't leave yourselves behind okay, we are family!

And there's this saying:

A family that eats together, stays together.

AHBand is a family!
I say,
A band thats plays together, stays together!

Be it playing music, or having fun playing, always hang out tgt yeah, it really does help bonding!

Yes, here's the end to livening up this place -cheers-, finally HAHA!
So yup, 加油加油 AHBand, 我们行的!

HEY AHBAND!

I tried looking for March Blue Sky's recording online but can't find, so I tried YouTube. The clearest and nicest recording I can get is this, altho I can't download, youall can click on the link below and go listen.. First few seconds of the thing got dunno what video hah but aft that's the recording, no video.. Take note of the dynamics and stuff and refer to your scores too.. Then know which sections playing w you and listen out..
Qianlin has mentioned bef, every conductor has different styles of conducting so the recording's just a guide yeah.. So don't follow "blindly", or "deafly" in this case.. Haha..

things we forget

HEY DEAR AHBAND!

It's the yada-all-the-way me again! HAHAHA..
I'm doing proj hors, not everyday use com play de hehe..

Anyw, here's something I wanna share to youall!
The sec3s have this English magazine, Broader Perspectives - Present Perfect. And the most recent issue, the back cover, has this 'ad' on this blog and it's content. It's really superduperuber meaningful I think, as in, the stuff on it is really simple but it's the things that we don't always remember or think about. So yeah, here's it.

Remember during SYF period alumni Jun Long, Cheng Huat, Hong Wei told us this:

Do what you love, love what you do.

Here's it! Use it as your hp background or whatever hahaha..

THIS IS THE ONE THAT YOU SHOULD PUT AS YOUR HP BACKGROUND TO REMIND YOU ALWAYS! PRACTISE!

Remember this! If we have QUALITY pracs, there won't be so much a need for 'quantity' pracs! So, make sure what you're producing is QUALITY or quantity would have to sub it! (phrasing a bit bad but you get it, quality!)

DRILL THESE INTO YOUR HEADS MANXZS!

Okay, youall can just go browse yourself yeah..
& STUDY HARD :D
I'll end off w this..

PREPARATION FOR CONCERT:D

2009-09-09T18:36:00.000-07:00

AHBAND!

Exam break is coming real soon, one month break, so as i said in the afternoon earlier on,

Oh, remember i told you guy about a continuous process that is going round and round in AHBAND, or even every single band. The 4 P process!

PLANNING
PREPARING
PRACTISING
PRESENTING

PLANNING: planning and managing time well, planning own selfprac sessions, planning your sectionals well, planning the band pracs, planning the upcoming activites (schedule for band) and ....

PREPARING: preparing to play the piece - checking rhythm, checking unknown time signature, checking fingerings, checking notes, and preparing your scores, pencils to note down whoever says anything that helps in the music and ...

PRACTISING: the most tedious yet MOST IMPORTANT part of the whole cycle! practice makes perfect! practising yourself, then practising with your section during sectionals, then practising with the band to get the feel, the coordination and everything, and practise till you even sing the song in your mind whereever your go, :D

THAT TIME I SHOWED YOUR GUYS MY BOOK RIGHT, "PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!"

Lastly,

PRESENTING: the shortest but SHIOKEST part of it - your final destination. 台上三分钟，台下十年功, its really true, your practise months and months for concert, and any performance, just for that few minutes up there on the stage for your performance, but if you really put your heart and soul into every singly prac, you tried giving your best shot in every single prac,your tried to achieve the best of yourself, you work so hard, and i promise you won't have any regrets after you perform, trust me okay! (:
If you think its your best shot, and you have put in alot and alot of effort, you would have any regrest, instead, you will certainly be overwhelmed by a strong sense of pride and satisfaction.

Realise that all processes are in -ING? so its a ongoing process, i know you guys can feel really sian and just so sick of band, but still, hang on there okay!

AHBAND CAN DO IT! (:

So, to further enhance your preparing process, i have searched for the recordings of some songs, do listen as it will really help (:
