hey all.

just wanna comment on the national anthem played this morning. intonation was really bad from what we hear from downstairs.. especially when u all had to hold the long notes.. can hear the vibrating sound.. please be aware of that ya.. thought that you all would improve on yr intonation cos the last time when u all played the first national anthem without the seniors, it didnt sound tt nice too. ( not that with the seniors , it sounded nice hor!) sorry to have said that but ya, i really hope u all can improve and improve =))

end ur notes on time. OK?

TRIPLETS!! what u all played was a super NO NO. i could hear u all from downstairs but where's the articulation??.. i bet the concert mistress stress on it a few times le yah? so tongue!!! and please be on time for that two triplets too. conductor was about to go to the next bar but u all havent finish the triplets. so CANNOT LIKE THAT HOR.. dont hold too long for the first note of the triplet. u all tend to lengthen that note.. hmm. habit?? then must change.

lastly. play it like u are proud of singapore ( even if you are not). play majestically can onot?? sounded very sloppy..

hope u all improve on these points ok.. AND. i really hope the section can become bonded ok.. dont be like the seniors last time. ( my batch-the one whom the seniors like to quarrel with and then quit in the end) okok? i hope got ppl read the comments la..

love y'all

BETTINA

Takecare, Trumpets!




ABOUT THE BAND

First started in the year 1982 when the school just move to the new campus at jalan tenaga at that time the strength in the section is 7 the conductor at that time is Mr Samad, at that time the section only learn very few songs for example One Moment In Time,The Peaks of Otter,Yellow Stone,Wildwood overture.WE participated in the school musical by playing 2 songs One Moment in Time and Dawn Chorus Overture. In year 2001, we changed due to the change of principal.Our condutor at that time was the late Mr Hashim, after he took over the band, the band was changed into a military band, the section had a strength of only 4 members and we were given a chance to participate in the Chingay2002. A few sad things happened in 2002. In 2003-2004 we are lucky to have Mr Lim Yean Hwee as our conductor, he again changed the band into a symphonic band. Under his baton, the band improved tremendously & of course the section improved too.In the year 2003, trumpet section have a strength of 7 and by 2004, 11.We learned many Pieces within these 2 yrs and participated in many of the schools event and public performances.We had a FIRST combine school concert at NYP in the year 2002 and a charity concert in 2004.The band had our very FIRST own concert in VCH on 3rd Dec 2004. On the April 13th 2005, our first time participating in SYF, we managed to clinch a gold. Followingly, another Gold award for SYF in 2007. *
