Band Camp Audition Results

Hi Guys,

The results that were posted yesterday has some errors and now everything has been rectified.

3 things to clear here.

1st: Every level has different criteria and different strictness. Thus the ranking now is according to level.

2nd: Joshua and Darren are both not included in this audition ranking.

3rd: If you have any problem with the results, please find Mr Chiang. Don't ask me why this and that, I won't know cause I am not the one auditioning you all. So please kindly direct all your questions to Mr Chiang. ^^

In any case, Good job and well done to everyone. I am very impressed by the audition results and I hope you all can continue to work hard if not maintain it!!

Very good work by all of you! This is the result of working hard!

Band Practice

Hi guys.

Tomorrow, please report to the band room at 7.45am. SLs, please make sure your members are present. I hope no one will be late. Attire for tomorrow exactly the same as the one that you just wore this morning.

By the way, your formation display this morning was splendid.

see you then.

FORMATION DISPLAY

Hi guys.

Tomorrow's finally the day that we have been working so hard for! Everything is already in place now, and it is up to every single one of you to give the best show that you can give to the whole school.

Honestly, after seeing the band's performance on our very last rehearsal(wed) before the display, you guys far exceeded my expectations. Except for a few minor mistakes here and there, I think that the overall performance is quite well done. I hope you guys can keep up with the good work, and give your very best for tomorrow's performance.

Remember, every single one of you play an important part in the whole display. If anyone makes a mistake, it will cause the whole band to look bad. Therefore, I will need the entire band to be very clear of what they are suppose to do. I will require the cooperation of the WHOLE BAND to remember your steps extremely clearly. If everyone is able to accomplish that, mistakes made will be minimised tremendously. And, so long as all of you guys remember what you are supposed to do, everything will go according to plan. I hope all of you will give your 110% tomorrow.
