Band Leadership Camp 2010! (1)

Photos finally up! According to chronological order :)

For more photos, add me up on Facebook, "Jacquelyn Pang"

My name on Facebook is Jac Joe.

Drills for two hours (Y)

Lunch time!

Talk on leadership.

Water bomb!

We had a fake quarrel. The juniors actually watched us quarrel instead of stoppping us!

The view of our school field. WOW.

Behind the scene, after the quarrel, we were laughing and smiling away ;D

Blind mice! With seniors' happy faces!

Finally, we could smile when they were blind folded.
It was so difficult to maintain the black face in front of them ~

Afizah giving that shock face. HA HA HA

Feeling the itch? -sinister laughter-
Now you know who's the culprit who made you all scream and squeak.

Crawling over nothing? HAHAHA!

What about crawling under our hands and getting your head hit?

SEE! We were all smiling and laughing away while juniors were blind folded. HOW FUN!

How about London bridge?

Now you all know why you all have been walking in circles?
Because you were holding on to your teammates, not your facilitators. HA HA HA!

Finally, dinner time for them while seniors stay back for "briefing".
They look shocked about what I said to them.

We have all decided to "apologize" to you all after dinner ~

So, after dinner, we stood in one single line and bow.

Then, "YOU ALL HAVE BEEN PUNKED".

Some were in ISH preparing for candle game.
It was a big mistake to play the candle game in ISH.

While most of you are asleep, seniors were practically awake doing homework.

Some of course went to sleep too.

Band Leadership Camp 2010! (2)

MORNING PT. Catch the stars and success claps!

Breakfast!

Drills again!

Talk on sectional

Off to ISH to scrape the floor.

After scraping, off for the next game.
We were off schedule due to the wax on the ISH ground so the game wasn't very well plan.

Lunch time and debrief.

After the final debrief, we let you all clean up the band room and the
store room by yourself while we settle other stuffs with teachers.
More of, we entrust you all with the job.
You all did not fail us. The band room was covered with this scented smell.
They cleaned up the band room really nicely. The store room was really neat and tidy.

Dismissed from the camp. All of you have done us proud.

Thank you very much for making this camp a successful one (Y)
Thank you so much!

Hey Band members! We'll be having BBQ @ West Coast Park on 30th Dec 2009, after band practice.

Confirm with your SL if you're going or not and SL will inform Sheytene.
SL, please confirm the no. of people going to Sheytene by this Sunday, (13/12/2009).

I won't be in Singapore from 19th to 27th December so please don't contact me.
Sheytene will be the main in charge for this BBQ.

Committee members, please plan a time to discuss things with Sheytene.

Who to order the food?
How to order the food?
The map to West Coast Park?
Cut cost as much as possible?

Best is to meet outside to discuss. (Y)

All members who are going for the BBQ, bring along your own disposable utensils so as to cut cost.
I'm not sure how much the fees would be. Most likely, it'll fall within the range of $3.50 to $5.

Once the BBQ fees are up, we'll let you all know.
Pass it to your SLs on 29th December 2009, Band practice day :)

For tomorrow, Saturday (28th Nov 2009):

All to report by 08.30am, SHARP.
Committee members including SLs to report to the band room by 8am, SHARP.
Attire, Green Band Tee and School Bottoms (Skirts for Girls, Trouses/Pants for Guys)
NO PE SHORTS ARE ALLOWED.
Latecomers will be punished.
Keep the Band room clean at all times.
BRING ALONG NEWSPAPER FOR BRASSES,
SO THAT YOU CAN EMPTY YOUR SALIVA ON IT.

First few things to do and not to do when you reach the band room,

Set up your instrument using the minimal amount of time.
Don't sit down and start chit chatting while
setting up the instrument or even after setting up.

Pick up a broom and start sweeping the band room, or just pick up the rubbish.
Arrange the files neatly and put unwanted files in the store room.
Make sure you know where's the exact location you put the files. Don't lose it.
Also, if there are extra stands, leave it in the store room.
All bags to be placed in the store room too. Keep the store room neat :)
Put the shoes neatly outside the band room.
Arrange the chairs properly.
If anyone is seen doing nothing and chit chatting or chasing one another
in the band room, you'll be punished duly.
After everything is done, settle down and warm up and tune to one another.

Don't think you all wish to let people see a dirty band room right? Take initiative. It's everyone's duty to keep the band room clean. Not the sections that are suppose to do the duty on that particular day.

Members, I put the songs on the band blog is so that you all can listen to it and refer to your scores so that you all at least have an idea of the songs we will be/ are playing.
I didn't put the songs here to make the band blog livelier.
So please listen to the songs and refer to the scores. Look out for your parts.
When we play the songs, it's quite clear who actually took the effort to listen to the music on the band blog and try to figure out the parts and practice it.

Nothing is impossible. It's only if you're willing to do it or not. Summon the courage to play.
We're almost there but didn't reach what we wanted. Everyone, just a little more effort, and we'll be there. :)

Oh ya! Ms Loh/ Mrs Phua would like to thank us for the very sweet video we made for her! :D

See you all tomorrow!
Jacquelyn :D

Musical notes glowing in the dark, they can shine. So can we.

To all band members:

Wear P.E shirt + P.E shorts/ Band tee + P.E shorts on Friday (13/11/2009).
No skirts are allowed. (For girls)
Report to the band room by 8.30am, SHARP.
There'll be 2 hours of sectional, followed by 2 hours of drills.
Band will still end @ 1pm.
Leave the school as soon as possible after you all are dismissed.
Do your duties after every band practice and keep the band room clean.
Both feets on the ground to sit half the chair at all times.
Why do we need to have both feets on the ground and sit half the chair?
This is so that you all will cultivate the habit of sitting in the right way for better breathing techniques.

During sectional, practice Heatherwood and Prince Of Egypt as much as possible. Nothing is too difficult. It's only if you all are willing to sight read and improve on your own or to sit and wait for people to teach. Apply what you've learnt from other songs and put it into use for the other songs. You all have to learn by yourself and I believe you all can do it. Just try, don't hesitate. Don't procrastinate. Believe in yourself. Give your all when you play and even when you get scolding, it's perfectly all right because at least you will be able to learn from your mistakes than to keep those mistakes buried and you'll never know where you've gone wrong. Band members of YCCB are strong and courageous people right!? :D Work hard and it will definitely pay off! Believe. Believe, just believe.

Listen to this song, cornets melody, when you believe.

With Love,
BM. (Jacquelyn)

2009-10-19T21:19:00.003+08:00

Stand up tall and challenge yourself. Play together in the band. Don't lose that focus and momentum. It's never too late to get better in your playing and moral thinking.

All that you have learnt from the seniors, ex-seniors,conductor and teachers... always keep it in ur mind.

All of you have put in much effort during the few weeks before the competition.
This is the reward that you get.
Continue to work hard & practise good. :D

Remember the things that you have learnt about your instrument playing during the workshop.
Teach all your juniors the fundamentals
& share with those who didn't go for the genting trip .
Remember to apply it during your own practice session, sectionals and band practice.

SYF is coming in 3-4 months time.
I really need every single one of you to practise.
Remember to play SCALES. Scales,scales & scales.
Do your part as a musician in the band .

Music is like a puzzle.
If every musician has a puzzle piece, they need everyone to work together to complete the puzzle.
If one musician decides not to give his/her puzzle piece, the puzzle won't be completed.
Understand what i mean?
I need all of you to do your part & work together no matter what happens.

Be prepared that next few months when sch reopens..
There will be intensive band practices and intensive foot drills.

For all the co-operation that you give to the seniors, the joy, the laughter, the painful and happy memories, The tears, the blood, the hard work, EVERYTHING THAT YOU HAVE GAVE US, Me, Ahmad, On the behalf of all the seniors, would like to say a big THANK YOU!

To the new band committee, the baton has now been passed to you, everything lies in your hands. Be strong in all the challenges you will face ahead. Lead the band well. Together we will SOAR TO NEW HEIGHTS!

ahhMUDD.

2008-04-23T22:59:00.000+08:00

heyy. here i am, trying not to make the blog look dead. Sooooo.......2 DAYS TO CHANGE OF COMMAND PARADE! Are you guys all pumped up? I really hope to see the very best from each and every one of you. Just take note:

Don't move around during the parade. It will make you look funny. Even if there is an itch, try not to scratch. If cannot tahan, then scratch. This is why I emphasise that there should be no fringes as it will sure make you move.

When marching, try to take small steps. Have mercy on the others as they are always trying to catch up with you. Especially the left markers.

When you march, keep an eye on your dressing!.

That is so far the weaknesses I see so far. Just try to remember what me and the other seniors said about your drills.

That should be it, Ouh, and seniors don't forget that the last rehearsal would be on 25th april, friday at 4 pm SHARP. You would be released by 4.30 to get changed. If you are still unsure of the details you can check the previous post.

Sec 1s, please report by 4.50 p.m. The parade would start at 5 p.m. sharp.

To ex seniors, you are also invited to watch the parade!
So, see you guys there!

Your (soon to step down XD) QM, ahhMUDD.

2008-04-18T20:31:00.000+08:00

Heyy members. Just a gentle reminder for those who missed the drills just now.

Please be reminded that this FRIDAY, 25th april 2008 is CHANGE OF COMMAND PARADE. Please wear your full-uniform which is your white long-sleeved shirt, long pants, black shoes and socks. I know that the sec 4s would be having remedials on that day, but, please, try and settle down by 4.45 pm. The parade would start 5.00 p.m. sharp. PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE! as we have liased with the npcc for the use of the parade square so we hope to finish on time to prevent misunderstandings.

SLs please also be reminded that you are supposed to collect the vests of your section from the QMs on the day. Please make sure, for the girls, that you tie your hair neatly. & don't forget, NO ANKLE SOCKS. I guess that should be it. See you guys!

your QM, ahhMUDD.

2008-04-15T20:16:00.000+08:00

hello fellow band members. :)

shall update since no one is updating.

SLs please be reminded to collate all the vest sizes of your section members. (senior members only.) pass to me by NEXT BAND PRACTICE.

There will be drills on friday. COMPULSORY. We'll be rehearsing for the change of command parade.

I guess that shall be it. Ouh, ya, before I forget. I noticed during band practice just now, there are still people talking among yourselves. try to avoid doing so. Please show your respect to whoever who is talking in front. Must have improvement by next band practice horr! & don't forget to trim your fingernails and settle your socks, kids! XD

that's it.

i'm done.

Your Quater Master, ahhMUDD.

Attention

2008-03-22T09:09:00.000+08:00

TAKE NOTE:

1. Clean your section seating areas before proceeding to the parade square! And your saliva containers, wash 'em! I don't wanna see any green mosses in it.
2. To sec 1s especially, if you can't make it for band pls tell the teachers in-charge or your section members. OR ELSE . . .
3. Start practicing on the competition songs, especially the main band.
4. Don't make so much noise while the conductress is talking. LISTEN ATTENTIVELY!

I know not all members can have access to this blog due to various reasons. So those who have read, spread. Thanks!

yours truely, DM.

Take note.

2008-03-09T22:55:00.000+08:00

Tuesday
From 9am - 4pm

Thursday
From 2pm - 5pm
Therefore, take your lunch before you come.

Friday
From 9am -12.30pm

See yall there.

A good start!

2008-03-09T14:26:00.000+08:00

Ok shall update to value our band's blog existence.

First:
1. We must treasure our sec 1s. Bond and communicate with them more. Teach them how to play the scales and flip thru' your Standard Of Excellence. I would like to highlight the clarinet section cos from what i've observed, their sec 1s are doing well. And this is due to the hard work of the clarinetists. Esp the sec 2s and 3s. KEEP IT UP!

2. RESPECT YOUR SENIORS PLS. But i admit most of you have been good juniors so a pat on the back to you. CALL YOU SENIORS SIR/MA'AM.

3. Keep the band room CLEAN AT ALL TIMES! AND WASH YOUR SALIVA CONTAINERS PLS. I don't want creepy crawlies to be our band's guest players. AND ARRANGE YOUR CHAIRS. Sections on duties only check. The QMs will help me check this. THANK YOU QMs!

4. Place your shoes properly on the rack. Don't anyhow kick it all over the place. THIS IS NOT YOUR HOUSE. And look at who's shoes you're wearing before falling in to avoid unpleasant situations.

I hope everyone will make good use of the holiday practices. And take this advantage to get to know your sec 1s better. Be acknowledged that there will be drills after band during the holidays. If everyone cooperate and do well, you'll be released early.

(p/s: TAKE NOTE OF THE WORDS IN BOLD and all the points will be expected with the effect of the first day of band practice during the hols)

AND REMEMBER NO ONE SHOULD BE LEFT OUT ESP SEC 1S; THIS IS THE ONLY KEY TO OUR UNITY

love to no end, DM :B

Remember to bring your white (immigration) card!

That is all.

Hey.

2007-12-03T14:53:00.000+08:00

Hellooooooooo Bandmates,

Before moving on,we would like to say our regards to the 20 of us who participated in the Standard Chartered Bank Marathon(by playing) yesterday.
We really appreciate your time and effort.
Thank You very much and a job well done.
Also not forgetting those who helped out with other sections.
Thank you too,It shows real good qualities we band members have.
;D

Hope you'll remember there's band practise tomorrow.
Yeap,same place,same time
8a.m to 12p.m
So set your alarm at the right time,be good and come punctual
Im sure we'll do not want to get scoldings from the leaders.
Like what they said,though we're a Concert Band now,We must still maintain good discipline alright?
Okay,duh.
That includes the usuals,
*Neat clipped up fringe
*Short,clean nails
*School socks
Its that simple.

Also,I hope we take our practises seriously and practise like we mean it.
Please do not give up hope so fast if you can't play your instruments properly.
Yes,its not easy.
You just need time and the focus and there,Im sure you would do just fine.
Give respect to your seniors and listen to whatever advises they give you.
They have gone through more than you so you can learn better from their advice

And here are two songs for you to not just listen and enjoy but to also take note of how they play it(: (Provided By Christina:D)

Follow the River

Wishes

And also..
http://www.metronomeonline.com/
(This is just for you to check it out.)
Useful whilst practising Winter and fast songs.

Okay,thats all I have for now.
See ya'll tomorrow.
Remember to be on time.

Till then,
Vani(:

Job well done;D

2007-11-26T16:04:00.000+08:00

GOOD JOB MATES,
WE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED OUR CONCERT(:

See ya'll tomorrow
:D

Read all about it.

2007-11-17T14:56:00.000+08:00

Im sure yall have pencils at home.
Put it to good use by marking t important points on your scores.
Like crescendos, decrescendos, all t articulations (slurs, staccatos, > etc etc). And you can even write notes like "Bar 156, play gently" to remind yourselves.
For staggered breathing, please mark down where you need to breath.
There are many crescendos and decrescendos in Blue Ridge Saga (do so for t rest of t songs), please mark them all down. Don't just mark them down because you have to, but play according to it.

When we play together, please listen to one another, listen to t band. Who is playing t melody? Is it you? Or are you just t counter melody? If so, tone down and blend in with t band, make sure that t melody can be heard loud and clear,
When there are slurs, slur. When there are staccatos, tougue lightly. When theres >, put t punch in your note. It's just that simple, you don't need people to remind you again and again what to do and what not to when you have already played t songs like God knows how many times.

Being able to play and read scores ain't just it, you'll have to put your feelings through t songs. Where do they come from? They come from your passion in music. Without mulitiple feelings input and passion, it's just so stagnant and boring.

Also, very importantly, please follow t conductor. Look at t conductor at times to make sure that you are following her beat, not slowing down nor rushing. Always keep t speed of t beat in your heart.

Please. Save fun time for now.

Anyway, here are t songs that we are going to play for t concert. (not in order yet)

Pirates Of The Caribbean
Blue Ridge Saga
In The Winter of 1730
St Petersburg
Big Fun In The Sun
Can't Take My Eyes Off You

Practise hard people. If everyone puts in t effort to practise everyday, I'm sure we can make it. Every little effort counts.
If yall need t songs for guidance, add shakethat.afro@hotmail.com , and I'll send it over through MSN.

Put on ya shades!

2007-11-13T20:41:00.000+08:00

I would like to thank ALL OF YOU, for your greatest efforts today! Especially to those who sacrificed sweat and blood travelling up and down, and all over!
We are one lucky batch to be enjoying t new ~~music~~ band(YES! OUR VERY OWN!!) room, so I hope that everyone would take good care of it! T duty roster will be up soon and everyone is divided among their sections to do certain "house" chores.
Briefings will be given when everything is settled.

Now, this is very important, please take note of t following practices and their timings.

15/11/07, Thursday; 0830am-1230pm
16/11/07, Friday; 0830am-1230pm

21/11/07, Wednesday; 10am-4pm
23/11/07, Friday; 0830am-1230pm

Yes, only four bloody practices left towards our concert! People, bring home your instruments, practice them, come for sectionals, come for practices. Well, now Im panicking. It's time to be serious, really. Make sure of t parts that you are unsure of, correct your mistakes that you have noticed about yourself or that was pointed out. Get this in your head that time is crucial ahead of us.

Oh, and don't forget QM rules. If I catch you all long-naily, you don't get a fine, you get a nail clippers plus trimmed off nails.

Thank you, my mind is blank now and I can't squeeze anything more to say.

Christina.
P.S. Th weather is getting #$%#%^$@#%!%$@$ HOT! So please drink lots of water.

Port Dickson...continued

2007-11-02T21:06:00.000+08:00

Hey YCMB-ers!

Yeah, it's about Port Dickson again.

This time, it's about...who your roomates are going to be! Don't worry my little angels, because I have excellent news for you!
You people get to choose who you want to be roomates with! *cheers* Isn't that great?!
I will mention about the room arrangements and all that jazz during the next band practice.

I think it's rather obvious what the limitations are, I'm sure you've been to atleast one camp in your life.
-Strictly no boy-girl mix in one room
-Once you have chosen your roomates, no changes. Even if you're in a brawl with him/her. It's a good time to make up for whatever you've done and whatnot.
-Stay in your assigned rooms. We don't want to do our routine headcounts at night and realise 2 heads a missing.
-Light out means lights out!

Like I said, more will be explained during the next band practice. That will be on Monday (5/11) and I will be expecting a definite answer by the next band practice. If you don't have an answer, I will group you with someone you hate. Kidding...
Once again, once you and your roomates have been grouped, NO CHANGEY!

Final notes. Adhere to all school and band rules for all upcoming band practices. We have a concert coming up, and we have a reputation to uphold. Work hard, practice hard, play hard!
Do your homework before the trip (you don't to have to be chained down by your homework during your free time right?) and SAVE UP FOR THE TRIP!

Hey Ya'll

2007-10-29T14:53:00.000+08:00

Hey Bandees,
How's it been going lately?
Hope ya'll passed your Final Year with flying colours.
Don't feel down if you're disappointed with your results or something..
There's always next year,know?
:D
Its been long since we had our last practise as a band.
So we hope to see all of you on the next band prac.
Be good,come punctual,remember the rules(scroll down to second last entry,incase you forgot) and PLEASEEEEEEEEEE,
Tell your seniors or any other section member if you unable to make it for any of the band practise,okay?(:
Remember,practises ahead are for the upcoming concert that we're gonna have.
Soooooooooo,let's make good music(:
See ya'll real soon.

Vanee(:

Port Dickson

2007-10-02T21:21:00.000+08:00

How can we forget the Port Dickson trip?
Like how we cannot forget about the trip, you can't forget to pass your parents' payslips to us.

You can pass it to Wirda (French Horn), Nuzrath (French Horn) or Samantha (Clarinet). Or you can always give it directly to Ms Loh or Ms Tan KT.
Remember to write your name and section on the payslip (on the cover) so that we don't end up mixing up everything.

I know that the payslip is personal, and if you parents ask about it, tell them that the amount you ultimately need to pay for the trip will be based on the family income.
And no one can resist discounts right?

A few notes to end this announcement.
- You have to pass it to us by Friday, or you're not going to Port Dickson.
- If you are not going in the first place, don't give us the payslip.
- You can find Wirda every morning at the area where the ExCos are, me at the canteen every morning too, at about 7.10am and Samantha sometime later than 7.10am at the canteen too!
- Pass this valuable information to other band mates, even if you hate them.
- Save up for the trip! Hah.

Oooh, and one more thing. We still have our own concert, so, practice hard!

Good luck for your exams. You have blessings from your seniors! :)

Nuzrath.

(:

2007-09-15T15:39:00.000+08:00

hey bandees,
how's life been going?
oh well,just a reminder for all that next Tuesday would be the last band practise until Final Year Exams are over!
Soooooooo,make sure you turn up or else...
inform your SLs why you wont be able to come(:
Also,drink lots of water and have plenty of rest to prevent yourself from falling ill.
especially when exams are round the corner
Till then,see you all on Tuesday

Take care,
Vanee(:

Hi band, just trying to revive this ~~bloody~~ dead blog ;D
Ahem.
Reminder for all that fingernails are to be short and trimmed, fringe not to be covering your eyes.
If we keep catching you for more than 3 times, a more severe punishment will be held. Like what our leaders said, punishments are meant to discipline the band, its not for fun.
Our concert is around the corner, I just hope all of you would abide to the rules and put in te effort to do well!
Any queries or questions, you can find the Welfare or simply talk to any of the seniors whom you're comfortable with and they'll relate the problems to us, savvy? (:

2007-05-27T19:58:00.000+08:00

PEEEEEPS! :D
Excited for the Music Camp?
So am I! *hops around*
Anyway, just want to point out a few important things.

DO NOT forget your Mug. Because we do not have disposable cups available, so you would have to bring your own mug/cup to hold the drinks we have for you during meals!

DO NOT forget your slippers! Cos I always do, hahah! You'll regret not bring your pair of slippers because you can't possibly wear shoes into the toilet to bathe! That's like so.. inconvenient! Yup, do not forget!
Oh, if you ever do forget though, you can get a pair at the Cheers nearby. (:

DO NOT forget your toileries! ESPECIALLY YOUR TOWEEEEEEEEEEELLL!!!!!

DO bring your water bottle. Water is essential for our needs, if I'm not wrong, drinks will only be provided during meals and that's totally not enough! So bring along a water bottle so that you can keep yourself eerrr.. filled!

DO bring extra clothing just incase you're in need of some!
The best choice would be 2 sets of PE tees and shorts and 1 set of nightwear. For the commitee members and seniors, if you have 3 sets of PE, bring 3 sets. If not, bring an extra set of clothing because we are staying 3D2N.

DO bring along a torchlight because uhhh... It's dark at night.
(GOT BATS LOR!)

[EDIT: Sorry I forgotten to add some important notes.

DO BRING ALONG PLENTY OF PLASTIC BAGS TO STORE YOUR LAUNDRY! Plastic bags ain't that space-killin anyway. (:

Those involved in the 3D2N camp BRING 2 SETS OF NIGHTWEAR! Unless you want to be sleeping in your smelly PE.

DO bring extra socks just incase we get wet? (:]

Alright! Before any of you head off for camp, check that everything is in your bagpack!
Can't wait for the camp& have fun with the rest of you.

SEE YALL!
Sorry if I forgot anything else. These are just the important things to take note of, the rest like sleeping bags and undergarments are common sensable. (:

Christina.

Urgent!

2007-05-19T14:18:00.000+08:00

Glad that our mids are finally over yeah? Time to relax and let our brains have their rest! (:

On this coming Monday, only the sec twos and sec threes member have to come for a band practice. It will be at 2.45pm after school. Yes, it is compulsory.
The Fruit Fest Festival have be shifted to a earlier date, on 2nd of June! So we would have to prepare our songs earlier. Thank you for your understandings, any valid reasons for absence please let Ms Loh and our band leaders know.

[EDIT: Sorry! I forgot to add that you must bring along our pieces, Can't Take My Eyes Off You, Sock Hop Tonight! & St. Petersburg March. REMEMBER MUST BRING!! (:]

Hello members! :D
I hope that all of us can push on and not give up! Yeah, it's really tough because each of us might have different problems. But no matter how many scoldings there are for us to take, stick them to your head and remind yourself to not make the same mistake again and prove it!
So I hope all of us can stand up strong and confident together again! Try to come for as many practices and sectionals as you can.
We can't let our dear supporters down yeah?

If you have problems, its always best to let someone you trust listen to you. You'll feel better. There are many members in the band you can always rely on, because we are all best companions for our journey till we graduate! :D
For this few months, we got to put all our heart and soul, listen to one another's heart and play as one.

Comon my fellow mates! I know we can do it can we? :D Dont look down, because there's always hope for us and it's waiting for us to realise it've always been there for us. Dont look back, the road infront has more surprises for you to discover.
Look by your sides, where all your friends and loved one will always be for you.
Look up, high into the sky because hope is always shining down on you, it's whether you choose to accept it or not.

Always go for the better, never the worst. I have pride in all of us. Let's do this together okay members? (:

Christina.
