DSA Auditions to CJC/ AJC
to the graduating sec4s ...

now that you're 80% through your journey in crescent, it is time to start planning for the education ahead of you even if you're in the midst of preparing for the next greatest hurdle - the prelims & the final OLEVELS!! haha.

just wondering if any of you are interested in continuing band and DSA into either Catholic JC or Anderson JC. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to drop me an SMS/ call me (xiling: 98289632) to ask for further details yeap. or i can direct you to the leaders of the respective bands. (:

i hope you girls have enjoyed and learnt a lot through your 3+years in cgssb, and will not give up music/ the skill you've picked up along the way, no matter which path each of you will take eventually. anyhow, do study hard, and remember the FOCUS and DISCIPLINE to exercise when going through this tough period.
BUT, i believe, you girls can do it!

all the best and take care,
xiling'05.

Dear Band,

What have you been doing? I haven't talked to any main band members yet, but I think I can infer what's going on. 2009. New year, new people. Even the old, too, change. It's something we have to deal with. Adapt. There's a reason why I'm blogging here after God knows how long, instead of doing my tutorials. Balloting's very soon, the exact date will come and the countdown will start. ARE YOU REALLY READY? It's a month away. A month. SYF 2009. It didn't just come now. It already came the minute we finished SYF 2007.

Do what you have to do.
Do what you should do, and more.

Love,
Joan.

Like many of your other seniors and teachers who encourage you all to watch concert, I would strongly encourage you all to tryyy to come for this concert too. To the Sec4s, this will be a good chance to see the JC standards for bands, especially if you intend to join a jc band. Also, to others, it's always good to learn from other bands and you can do so by attending concerts! (:

So yeap.
If you are interested, please feel free to inform KEZIAH, or myself.

Hello band.

This entry is more for the Japan trip girls.

I hope everyone's enjoyed themselves and have learnt many things from both the Toin girls' and boy's band that they can apply to their music. Also, I'm pretty sure that everyone has learned things from the trip that might not be applicable to music, but relevant to our lives and our role as a student.

If you take all the inspiration that you've gained by watching the Japanese bands and turn it into effort and passion, I have no doubt a Gold with Honors will appear. If you work very hard and play good music, the awards and accolades will naturally come.

Keep up the good work.

Dear band,

It's been quite some time since I've posted here so I thought I'd post again. I miss the music a lot and my section! Of course, I miss playing my instrument the most. Haha.

Anyway, how's everyone? I haven't listened to you all for quite some time. So I hope the next time I do, the standard will still be maintained. Or perhaps, better! Which I think you all can totally do. :)

Congrats to your majors, by the way.
They did a good job at the 34th Band NCO Passing Out Parade today. :)

Band Major, Seow Chuxuan, and Drum Major, Keziah Seow.

Oh, and good luck for you NLB performance tomorrow. I don't know if I'll be able to go and watch you all, but I know the band will do its very best to put up a good performance.

Remember to cooperate with your leaders and the teachers! Especially since you'll be leaving school again.

Love,
Joan.
