hey cornets!

congrats on the effort put in on stage, even though it may not have been the best. but. oh wells.

ITS OVER!

congrats! but its not the end of your misery.HAHA

upcoming auditions--> better practice hard i tell u.

LOOK AT YOUR SCORE EVERYDAY OK? anything too difficult or you unsure of,

just contact me at my hp. no.

OR

an alternative is to ask before practice or something.

IF YOU NEED ONE TO ONE SECTIONALS WITH ME, DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK ME OK?
i don't bite people. =). and i very nice one. :P. or if you scared of me, you can always ask Francesca or Jasmine or ask any one of your cornet friends to do sectionals with you. Afterall....

WE'RE ALL HERE TO LEARN =)

ANYWAYS. If dunno my hp number, then i dunno what to do with you. haha... kk. enjoy the rest of the remaining hours of your weekend.

LOVE LOADS

hey cornets

today's sectionals was really crap.lols.
First, i arrived at school to collect the cornets before going to melissa's house fot sectionals.I reached there at around 8 and the stupid guard had not opened the gate yet.So the eight of us were waiting for it to open under the rain.

lah-da-dees- lah-di-dums .so yes,we finally managed to get in after much waiting.

Proceeded to Bishan interchange where i saw Melissa. Met Phoebe and the rest at the MRT station. and Phoebe went abmonishing about how she lost her 90 cents. (b'coz of me? sorry )haiz..speaking about this, I saw a one dollar coin on the bus. I actually wanted to pick it up but,all the passengers would thinking that I am a crazy weirdo who is carrying two cornet cases ( bomb? )and a flute .Like wat the !!! what is she doing now...finding treasure -.-"""

herms...

sectionals was supposed to OFFICIALLY start at 11.30 ..but due to the very distracting things at Melissa's house...her diaries, piano etc.
we failed to start it on time ( haha si hui and I did smth wrong on MeL's bed)so we went for section lunch.." ta-pau-ed" smth back from S-11 coffeeshop.
After we sat down to have section lunch together at Mel's house the untimely call from Rachel came telling us that she had just arrived at Bishan.

After lunch we crapped and crapped...we only did warm-ups and played the section competition song.Then we started to discuss about the gimmicks we were supposed to do.Then MeL brought in her very fascinating barang barang ( the crayons)we started drawing on each other's faces hands and legs.haha.then Rachel went back to her piano mood .whilst Mel painstakingly begged us to her about the plans we have for section competition.

we were finally dismissed at 6.50 , after listening to Rachel's FIRST piano solo and guitar solo.

haha

(we would win section competition)

hahahahaha........I was surfing the net, Facebook. THEN . I saw this picture




doesn't it remind u of someone from the Cornet Family?

-******-
someone who likes to hold her *teehee* Xp

muahahaha


OKies dokies....


Band practice was without Mr tan again. Someone got scolded for 2 things in our section : ( .Orion sounded good. but Prince of Egypt...ahh,,,, I think the movie songs like pirates and prince are the hardest! compared to the others because they require a lot of stamina...Guess we need to push ourselves harder.

I think our section competition song rocks thanks to both our seniors MeL and Fran for writing and arranging it. muacks. We would surely win this time YEAH!

hello cornies....

we had band practice with Mr tan without our seniors for the first time ( sec 2 band ) .I actually i prefer it this way because I think we are improving faster ,because our seniors are not here to cover up our so called " noise", heehee :D
we played Orion and Prince of Egypt...& we learnt that we must delay the semi-quaver when we see the dotted rhythm :) I think out of the whole sec 2 batch, the Cornets and Trombone were the BEST!!! But this doesn't mean that we should be complacent,yea?....SECTION COMPETITION...just less than 10 days left, and have we got our parts super sure of? We have not even practiced together as a section...so disappointing...I WANT THE BEST SECTION PLAQUE TO ENGRAVE THE CORNET'S SECTION'S NAME reallllll bad!!!

... .... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

here are some random pictures



HARMON MUTE : )




Oh yea... HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!
