Scale TEST II

Dear all main band members,



I hope all of you are studying very hard for exam.


IF you are not and too free to come to visit this blog during this SA period.


Congratulations!!


There is one very very GOOD NEWS to all of you (if not only you!).


-------


THE GOOD NEWS IS..........................














AFTER SUCH A LONG WAIT, I AM FINALLY UPDATING THIS BLOG!!

~clap~

I am updating this blog for the sake of everyone! After the much awaited 2nd retest of the scale test. I will now post the "Wonderful" result achieved by our various sections.

Firstly, I want to congratulate A LOT OF SECTIONS because the have actually "IMPROVED" since the last test! That's a VERY VERY PERFECT reflection of the band scales ability.

Like what Mr Chiang has stated (yesh, I will need to nag the same old thing AGAIN!) earlier on (before your exam break), scales are important to all band members and he hopes that everyone in this band can leave this school with such an important knowledge!

SO Moral of the story: SCALES ARE IMPORTANT!

--------

Secondly, this second test aren't that difficult!! So I don't see why SO MANY people "walking down the stairs" (some are just SUICIDING! jump off from building) instead of "climbing up to another level".

--------

Thirdly, those who has yet to take OR fail the Scale Practical and Scale Written, PLEASE make sure you ARE PRESENT and look for Mr Chiang for the test!

--------

Fourthly, I guess members who failed the SCALE (both written and practical) will need to ....................................................................................................................................................
........................................................................................................................................................
......................... TAKE THE TEST ONE MORE TIME! ..........................................................
and go through some lessons!....................................................................................................

--------

now... I shall announce the SECTION results!

*** please take note some alumni members has helped their own section (ONLY alumni one per section) to PULL up the section marks. Thus it won't look THAT bad for that particular section (uh hmm... hm.. u all know which sections)

Those sections that scored badly for this scale test will be asked to do "contribute their energy and effort" for the band.
