Hi guys,
All read this!
I forgot very important thing! Tomorrow practice please bring a small towel and a set of extra clothing and footwear if you want, cause you guys will probably get wet. However, use shoes to school first. We will tell you when you guys can change. Just bring the things i ask you to bring.
Tomorrow will be a fun day! Hope so...

Hey guys,
How are you guys? Its been a long time since i blogged. Well, its the holidays, so computer games are in my mind.
Anyway, I know this is kind of late but I want to inform you guys that there will be a TPJC band concert coming up at Victoria Concert Hall, at 1930 on 31 May 2008. Its a combined concert with other performing groups and ensembles. I hope that you guys can make it for the concert. If you would like to place orders for tickets, please contact James at 97166359 or mail me at jamesonggo1993@hotmail.com. Please tell me the number of tickets you want by Friday 30 May 2008 at 11.59pm.
Next, you guys have just came back from the SA1 break, and soon you guys will go for another 2 week break. I hope that everyone will bring their instruments back home on 31 May 2008 so as to practise so that you all can improve on your tone and practise hard for the scales test too. You all must be able to play all 12 major scales fluently. Reminder: There will be a scales test when you all come back from your break.
Band Dinner!
From the previous posts, you all should know that there will be a Band Dinner at a ballroom where we can have games and food. The date is still to be confirmed but it will be on the last week of our June holidays, most probably on Friday, 20 June 2008. It will be held at Lucas' house, near Ang Mo Kio. So, please kindly keep yourselves free from tuition and other stuffs on the last week of the June holidays! I hope to see all of you then.
This saturday will be a special day. We will tell you about the event on Saturday itself. Anyway, please wear your blue T-shirt and PE pants and water bottles on that day. I hope it will eb a fun day for you guys. (Note: Sec 3 excos who know what is gonna happen please dont tell the others)
(Excos try to come earlier on that day)
Lastly, the breaks are coming and announcements cannot be made to everyone during practice. Thus, I believe its everybodies reponsibility to go to this blog for updates about practices, attires etc. There are also many who were late this morning. I hope this will stop. Please dont be late on Saturday guys.
That's all for now guys. Happy holidays and happy practising your instruments too!

Just blog to tell you guys that there will be something on next Saturday and thus Mr. Chiang wants everyone to wear your blue band T-shirt and PE shorts next Saturday.
By the way, Tuesday and Thursday's attire would be your orange band T-shirt and school pants. Please do not wear the wrong attire because you will be the odd one out.
Happy holidays!

Results...
Hi guys,
How is your marks? Satisfied? Happy? Or Sad? Well, I think most of you would fall in the "sad" category. Truthfully, you guys no need to be so sad. This is just the Mid-years. Just learn from your mistakes and work harder for next term but also have a balance between social life and studies. Ok? Anyway, I wish all GOOD LUCK AND ALL THE BEST in getting your other results tomorrow.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, I am very pissed by some of comments made by Band Members. I think i have to post this again.
Next Band Practice is on 21 MAY 2008! From 1400h to 1800h!
Clear? Please read it carefully and get it into your brains. Thanks!

Exams have been conquered!
Hi guys,
Exams are over for Sec 1, 2 and some sec 3! Rejoice! By the way, I read some of the tags and got some sms about when is the next band practice. Next practice will be on 21 may 2008, Wednesday, from 1400h to 1800h.
(Note to all sec 1: You guys are now joining the main band and you have to be present for all practices from now on. Absentees will need a valid reason for their absence and tuition or medical appointments are NOT valid reasons!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, i receive an email from Mr. Chiang during the exams... This is what he said:

OUTINGS
- He wants each section to have a compulsory section outing, organised by the new section leaders, and to be proven with pictures posted on the blog.
- Mr. Chiang is also thinking of starting a tradition where we have a yearly dinner in June where we find somewhere (maybe a big room in some restaurant / a mini ballroom) where we can have food and games. Somewhere in June.
