Hey guys, I know the morale's kinda low recently thanks to Mr Tan's missing in action and of course... WHERE. IN. THE. WORLD. IS. OUR. WHOLE. SECTION.
Everyone's missing!!
Guys, take a break and look carefully at this post.
WE. CAN. DO. IT. (what's with the caps and fullstops..)
Band camp's coming in a few days' time, and even though we can't stay over (sighh) and have fun fun fun as a section, be reminded that JOY will be around to help you during the concert (I try lah)
and that this concert WILL BE A SUCCESS NO MATTER WHAT. If VS can do twin oaks, we can do it too.
Practise practise practise your running notes, it's just repetitions (according to someone) and if we can get those dang running notes right, the whole song will be a piece of cake.
Actually, if you take a look at it, the other songs shouldn't be a problem. If we tongue precisely, take note of those details such as dynamics, staccatos, accents, more importantly the TONGUEING, everything should be okay with the help of some more practice.
We've:
Twin Oaks
Highlights from Ratatouille
Phantom of the Opera
Broadways in the 90's
March Kawasaki
Ponyo (maybe)
Superheroes R Us
All of which are rather playful pieces and pieces that we like (taken from movies, theatres etc)
so I hope we'll really put some time into it and make sure that the saxophone section is one great section. We shall own the trumpet section and stop all this low morale thingy. Show them that if the mighty saxes can do it, the whole of nhsb can do it. I'll make lemon barley with say hua on that day of the concert and we'll be sure that everything turns out well.
Actually if you see, only twin oaks seems to be an obstacle.. the rest should be okay if Mr Tan touches up a bit. And I wish the alumni luck in the other three pieces, West Side Story, Les Miserables and Foxfire.
