Hello members! Firstly, thank you Afiq for helping to update this very dead band blog. Thank You! Sorry for not updating always, but now i'm looking for people who are willing to volunteer to help to post updates of the band always. If you're willing to, pls look for me and i'll pass you the user/pw. Of course, i will continue to update everyone on the impt events. (: Ystd Mr Surapol, one of the best conductor in Asia came to had a workshop with us with his band from Thailand. I hope that everyone of you have learned something from his band members. And i guess everyone of us was very amazed when they played Alvamar Overture because they could play it so well when its just sight-reading. So, we must work even harder to be even better! I believe that we can do it. Just no more slacking, and be serious so we'll move a step up towards our goal. Hope that we can have more workshops like this! :) Updates on upcoming events: The Philharmonic Winds Concert featuring Guest Band: Nontri Orchestra Winds (Mr Surapol's band) on the 6th Dec, 7.30 pm at Esplanade. Members who've ordered your tickets, please meet me at the Esplanade at 6.45pm sharp. I will send msg to all section leaders to pass down this msg. Spread it too! Tyvm:) More details @ Sgbandfusion Next band practice would be on the 28th Dec. Updates would be given to the Section Leader asap when i've received information from the teachers.

Lonely Blog.. Wow.. It's been ages since I did a little something to this blog. And now, it looks to be un-updated. Lol. Every now and then the blog should be having a new post. Since the teachers told the majors to use the relay system to contact everyone,(Not that it's not good) well.. The blog would be lonely. So this Ol' Frog has to do something to the blog. So, how's everyone doing? We seniors have long stepped down but some of us(honestly speaking) felt we're still in the band. Why? Because, we care, love and.. lived through with the band. In band, it's not all about playing the taugehs on the sheet music, or worse, noise. It's all about playing music with your passion. Your feelings. I don't want to compare GSB with other bands. It's your attitude towards band. Me, I'm really jealous you all get to play Alvamar Overture as a band. But, I'm also impressed with all of you playing Grade 4 music. Congrats to GSB and Mr Louis Yeo. Haha.. New info. This saturday: 5 December, there will be a concert at Ai Tong Primary Sch. Some of us(Me, Hillary, Vanny, Zub, Hakim) will be performing. It's going to be a performance to rememver coz we'll be playin songs such as Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End and I tell you this song is the greatest. How to get there? Bishan Mrt. Take bus 52 from the interchange. 9 stops.(Or u should see the sch) Tickets ask from any of us. It's free admission. "If music is what you live for, then go for it. It's all about your attitude that can change everything" AF__. Knight Rock. Outta here!! P.S: This is voluntary basis and to make something new for you all to read. Friday, October 9, 2009

Please cooperate and do come for band practices as we are only left with just a few practices before we perform. Work hard everyone! Thursday's timing would be re-confirm again! :) Hedy. P/S. I've changed the fonts to make things look clearer. But don't worry, a new blog skin would be up during the Holidays :) Saturday, September 19, 2009
I swear Band Night was indeed a success one... The music Pirate played was not as good as the past… (In my opinion) But no doubts, you guy did improve & the others music was nice.. (I know is obvious la) I was pretty amazing by the wearing of hat while you guys played the Pirate. I can’t picture myself wearing the hats if I was there performing… I was shocked with the first performance when percussion starts jamming and shouting GREENRIDGE. I swear I was laughing at that point of time... Fyi, everyone around me laughed. Again, I really can’t picture myself shouting greenridge while clapping when such a big audiences were laughing at me. And I am so jealous when Mr Yeo promised to buy ice cream for you guy. *hint Mr Yeo* Well with that I end my post for the day! All the best in the long run up ahead… GSB Jia You! \m/ ATTENTION TO ALL BAND MEMBERS ! Please note that there is NO band practice on 21 Sep 2009 ( Monday ) as it's a school holiday. Samantha.
