Hey guys,
Well I dun really know what to blog about lately, I will make it dam random can? I wanna ask about the section tee. Have you choose the design yet? I wanna know what you guys think. I only hear form Ming Hui but the rest i have yet. I dun think that the others know that the blog is alive again anyway. Can anyone help to pass the word around saying that the blog has been revive from the dead? I really we can all be together again after the O's when i had made my promise to treat the whole section go out. Including Pam and Esther. Alumni are also invited but if you guys wanna come that you must pay yourself, coz i dun thing i have that much money. I dun know where to bring you guys to so can give recommendation? Hope to hear from you guys soon about this. I also wanna to said that the concert is only around the corners. Less then 2 weeks till show time. Hope we will be ready by then. Wat the hake, we WILL be ready. Well thats all i guess for today. Till next time.

Cheers Ruz ^^v

The first time i help to update tis bolg.

2010-03-18T20:51:00.008+08:00

Hey guys. This is my first time blogging for the section by i will try my best to update regularly ok? =D Well the concert is coming really soon and I hope that we will do our very best in it. I guess that this would be the last time that we will be performing with Ming Hui and let us make it her most memorable experience ever. I wish we could also share this moment with Pam and Esther before their O levels. But I guess we can't help it. I'm planning to make section tee but still haven decided on the design yet. I have a few option but can't decided on it. Can you guys help me decided.

Design 1.

Design 2.

Well to me both of the design are good. There is still one more but the design is not with me but with Jia Min. Please help me choose the design for the section tee. Tag the board or leave me a msg on facebook. My facebook account is Ruzanna.355@hotmail.com. Do add me. Both Design are done by QIZHEN From 3N2.

Cheers Ruzanna. ^^v

Dear Trumpets,
SYF had finally ended ! Even though Silver isnt what we desired, we are
still proud of it right ? :D Most importantly, we tried and gave our best. Its
over :) So lets move on further and await for the next syf. Cheerup people :)

Remember what Mr Yeo had said- We took a really hard time adjusting to
the new conductor; Mr Wong. We also put in our effort and the award
achieved isnt that important. And, Into the sparkling moment, is a piece
which needs alot of expressions. So, haha it means that we are like woods !
Anyway, getting a silver is already good :D

Asmah's regards : Congrats ! So proud of you all. Really am. You guys
went through ups and downs. Almost broke down when the conductor left.
So a silver to me is bitter sweet achievement. You guys pulled through the
tough times. Silver is good enough. Really proud of you all.

Me to you : Thank you everyone for letting me feel the love from my
section once again. I was silly to skip band when i heard that there's a
change of conductor. However, after mixing more with you guys, all of you
brought me joy and memories of being in trumpet section. Thanks for
pulling me back into band ! These 2 weeks, is most memorable to me :)
Nevertheless, i love you guys !!! :D Study hard after this 3 weeks break.
Silver is still GOOD !!! loves !

BLOG UPDATE !!!

Dear Trumpeters,

SYF is roughly 3 days away ! We got to concentrate more and remember the

mistakes we made during practices. Most of you did not have a taste of the SYF

before, but im telling you guys that this will be tough. No matter what the outcome

will be like, we have to keep moving forward and strive better in the future :)

There's still room for improvements babies ! We can do it ! :D

Who cares how sucky ppl think we are ? We can do it ! :D

WE CAN DO IT !!! Enjoy the time being on stage and apply everything taught by

Mr Wong :)

I apologise for not helping out earlier on. But i have faith in this section. We can do it !

Its only ONE CHANCE to be on stage ! So,

Gambateh !!!!!!!!!!!

AND JIAYOU !

reach for the sky ! the opportunity !

ahmad stepping down...

2008-03-09T19:34:00.000+08:00

Dear Trumpets,

It is time for me to step down already and leave the section/band all of a sudden.Time really passed by extremely fast;time waits for no man...and now,currently,I am typing a farewell and goodbye message to my fellow section to bid farewell to you guys...3 years and 2 months in school and in band had passed within such a short moment,and now i am a sec4 leaving the band,in which i spent most of my time and 3-4 years of my life with.it has become a second family and second "house".but now,I am leaving just like that,abruptly!

Recalling all those happy and elated moments with you all was such fun,memories that cannot be erased,the birthday gifts/cards and whatever gifts that i received from all of you is greatly appreciated.and i can still remember the first birthday card,a large one,given by the section when i was in sec 1,when Asmah was the SL,and inside was all the messages.then all the outings blahblahblah=was so memorable(and I greatly apologise for not being able to go section outing with the section yesterday because of my cousin's marriage;and summore it was the "last" outing for me and on the last day of band)...

I also kept daydreaming,thinking,am I really leaving the band when it is so fast,still kept in my mind when after each year my seniors had to leave the band/section and now its me...and worrying whether the section will still be strong as last timeand that whether I am leaving the section with all work done...

Lastly,a thousand apologies to anybody that I have hurt your feelings,also please forgive me for all the misunderstandings or any other faults that I had caused whether to the section/band.and to any wrongdoings,what I didn't really do right or mistakes that caused a disheartening one,please forgive me...I know I am sometimes overboard or make people angry at certain things when I didn't really realise it.

To the current section members,I just hope you all will stay bonded together,have fun during sectionals(I will miss sectionals...),laugh and enjoy things together,share secrets and gossip together and lastly play as a section together!TRUMPETS will always be strong and united although these days we were named the weak section but I believe we have at least improve from nothing.and,I am sure the section will be in good hands under the new SL and ASL.Do your best in every single thing and be strong facing problems!GOOD LUCK for next year's SYF and you guys are the ones who can decide the past and plan the future!i will for sure drop by the section/band to help you all...TRUMPET SECTION,

UNITED AS ONE!

-Ahmad

Here's my share of pictures during Vivala Musica III last tuesday. I'm very sure it's a night to remember for all :) Enjoy.

Yup2, quite a handful. All of you can start stealing those pics now. GO GO GO. Not many pics with Senior Yonglin tho coz he was busy with e bananas? Haha.

I hope the current trumpeters will continue working hard both academically and musically. Keep the music-making spirit alive. And remember, 'Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much'. I'm looking forward to Viva IV :) Best wishes to all.

Love, Asmah

hanis message to beloved section x)

2007-04-14T00:01:00.000+08:00

Hello trumpets. First and foremost i'd like to congratulate each one of you for our achievement ! x) The months of hardwork had been paid off. Everything happened so fast yesterday, from the tuning room to the moment we entered the hall. Butterflies in the stomach and 'kanchiong-ness' was definitely present and the next thing you realised, SYF is over.

The moments on stage was nerve-wrecking, of course, well to me it was, but i'm sure many of us were recalling of what Mr Lim, Mr Benny and Yonglin have been advising and consistently emphasizing on. I'm sure the moment Mr Lim conducts, the pressure is being drifted away cause we know as a section that we don't want to disappoint the band neither do we want to bring our section down. Honestly, i think it was quite impressive that no one was really sticking out as an individual which i believe the words from Mr Lim, 'Section Sound' is constantly playing in our mind. If we could do it during that 15mins on stage why not on the ordinary practises ? Stop taking things for granted. Last minute 'kanchiong-ness' to solve doubts is not the way to succeed.

I believe in,
"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure."

Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things. Learn to embrace and comfront your fears. I think the section is lack of confidence, built up your self-esteem ok? : ) Don't be afraid.

On the flip note, my point of writing this post is to deliver my warmest gratitude to the section for all these years.

I was being appointed as the section leader in year 2006 and boy, was i honoured and ecstatic. Being the section leader, i've learned alot of qualities. I've learned what's the true meaning Leadership. Leadership qualities it is. Basically, leadership qualities like self-knowledge, commitment, willingness to look to others for support, being open to change, and a desire to go the extra mile.

You guys have basically been tolerant with me throughout these years eh? Am i right to say that? xD It's not easy to fulfill this duty which i've been holding on. Furthermore, i've my exco post to juggle along with. But, i did my best i could to bond the section, to sacrifice time despite my tight schedule to have as much sectionals, together with Yonglin of course :D and to practically message all of you often at night, for reminders. It was all direly exhausting but i somehow managed to survive! Why? It's becase of you guys of course! I guess respect plays a really important factor between each individuals. Be it with posts or without, respect-to-be-respected vibe should always be with you.

Now, my journey in band is going to an end soon. Whoever the next section leader and assistant section leader is, take the section with pride, integrity and dignity. For the rest of you, Jiayou! It's not the end, there's still events for y'all, i supposed. Last but of course not least, my dearest sec ones, practise hard all right? Seniors make time to hold sectionals with them! x) JIAYOUUU!

"ONE BAND ! ONE HEART ! ONE SOUND !" will forever be etched in my mind.

Love,
hanis

PS: Will i be able to hear the jaw-opening award we achieved on 12th April 07 in two years time, again?

It's your choice ! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUMPETS!!! <3

i was stund, mouth opening widely counting. the first band who
played safari, their trumpet's elephant call was so on time. wow!
we gotta count all the time too. well, we must never let those
eat into our confidence anymore. mind over matter- remember.

and do memorise 15, 19 and 69. mrlim got angry cause
of those. memorise them well. jiayou for syf! we have one
last exchange with maris stella. and i heard that st. gabriels
are going too. so good luck. practice hard and got to take
care of ourselves too. LOVES((X

notes not that clear enough for safari muted part. BUT its
getting better! happy. but can be even clearer, practice :)
and funiculi was like, not focused enough. part F is quite
messy, the tongue rest tongue rest part. anway,
we can do better! JIAYOU FOR SYF!! 19 MORE DAYS!

2006-09-08T13:19:00.000+08:00

im here.okok.. today's band practice and wednesday's have full attendance..
good.. but still so many problems..jinwei not playing for the exchange , because
he dont even know his stuffs. its too late.. juniors.....centuria , easy. but one
dont want to try playing. if u dont try u will never know how far u can go..
dont want me to take is it? dont want then what can i do?
if u read this u would say im bla bla bla and whatever...tomorrow is the
exchange man..

attitude outside is outside.attitude in the band is band. both different.
if u dont respect anyone in the sect outside, its fine.
but u must must respect anyone infront no matter what u know or dont
know who is that standing infront..or in personal problem, talking back
isnt good.

all the best in colas..count count count..
without 3rd trumpet we must fight till the end.
practice makes perfect!.

is asking a junior to bring home an instrument called attitude problem?

xiangxiang.
we want sect tee. ((:

I was rather bored and I've got a few minutes to spare so I decided to do this. Hahaha purposely smudge my face on the second picture because I look like an alien :p In fact, worse than that! LOL. Well, remember those times? When we snap endless pictures :) Fruitful sectionals where everyone learns something ( well, maybe?) and have fun at the end of the day? Priceless moments are'nt they.

Anyway, for the sec 1s and 2s, what Hanis wrote on her latest entry is true. But please Hanis & Xiang Squared (haha), do ensure the sec 2s and 3s read them because if they don't then there's no point posting. That's all from me. We shall have a section outing after the exams aite? :) I'll find time to go back on Sat. Happpy mugging okay! Practise hard, Study smart and you'll all turn to smarties! Heee.

hey trumpets!
hanis here, sorry for the long hiatus.term 3 has ended. final year exams are coming, mug mug mug! oh, haha, betty, jiaxing and sher, all the best for O's yea.trumpets, please practice hard for the upcoming exchange programme. despite knowing the fact that've we've to play only two pieces, don't take it for granted. parts that you're still not sure of, please ask, or better still count and subdivide by yourself. don't depend on the leaders too much, all of you play a part in the section as well. speaking of which, the sectionals that we had so far, i actually realised that i've not really fulfil what i've actually expected course of my tight schedule. i seriously don't have the intention to neglect all of you, am trying my very best to squeeze in my packed schedule for sectionals. therefore, i'm really pleased that y'all took the initiative to do self practice, for some that is ;D but i'd really appreciate if you were to concentrate on the parts where you're not too sure of. take the time to figure it out or get help. be it semi quavers, quavers or even crochets they're just as important. take note of the dynamics. do your part. make sure there's balance within the section, thirds have to really support first and seconds, don't overplay, i don't want to have someone misinterpreting, saying that you're the only player and there's a need to be playing relatively loudly. it doesn't make sense, there's still a need for balance. take note of that ok seniors :) work hard! but don't get too carried away, haha. studies come first. it's your streaming year make sure you get into the class you want to and can actually cope with -_-" haha

as for my dearest juniors, bring back your instruments and practice! i'm sure y'all know where you stand right now. all those bad remarks you get from the conductor or seniors, just take it as a learning point. there, you get the 'motivation' to work harder, socalled. whatever. anyway, my point is don't be let down too much on those negative words, practice! but then again, how to when bringing home instrument seems to be a chore to most. too much to ask for, isn't it? so much of wanting to change to a 'better' trumpet when i don't see the point of giving your wants when i don't get mine. all i ask for is to practice and bring back your instrument frequently. nothing have changed despite the talks from seniors or the alumni. this includes attitude wise please. the only reason i've to stand infront is because, well the obvious reason, is to guide y'all. if you're not interested what am i suppose to do. there's no time for this game, you won't benefit anything and neither do i. it's just a total waste of time to throw your tantrum during sectionals and not do anything. but then again, there's nothing that i can do except for you to motivate yourself. i've tried many ways, but to no avail. have you ever stopped and reflect what you've done. now, i want to see improvements and learn your major scales for goodness sake. it's almost a year! when i say there's a test, i'll stick to my words. you want a 'new' trumpet, prove to me that you actually deserve it. do practice on your Bb,Ab,C,D and Eb for now. not forgetting your all time favourite piece, centuria -_-" i'll prolly get benny to test so, be prepared.

toodles!

ps; section tee design is out. it'll be confirm this sat if everyone agrees to it.

me again......

2006-08-03T21:39:00.000+08:00

ya. today sounds so different. its ok, wew know that we sound totally
not good today. so different frm the other times. we did tongue for
the triplets. but for me, the note cant come out then it was so late. :(
plus everyone slowed down. ya. there's many problems now and then.
hold the note in full value. if its a total of 4 beats hold full till 4beats end.
yaya!. more air. :) like what bettina say the tone was bad. make the sound rounder.
many many probs.i hope it end soon. plus mr lim's case.
we wld have to really practise alot. alot more. solve all stuffs dat we dont know.
oh ya. the sec1s are ok ok now.
their attitude kinda improve lots. we wld just have to be more
patient to them, and most of all spend more time talking to them about
band about their likes n dislikes in the band. and try to make them feel
more comfortable being in band. treat eveyone as a family.
no matter what quarrels/problems come accross, it wld b solved if
both parties understand each other. practise more!! PRACTISE!!
practise till mr lim comes back. go go go!! do ur best!!. ;)
we'll playy better for the next national anthem. sorry..
im also sorry that i did not play well today for national anthem.

national anthem

2006-08-03T15:45:00.000+08:00

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

2006-06-17T23:00:00.000+08:00

hey hanis here. i've realised that after all the sectionals we've been through, which is when the seniors left, i think it's pretty bad. we can spend hours doing on just one piece and yet not complete and still sound, unpleasant ? time is really tight now, in a few weeks time we'll be having our school musical night which means we're be playing pieces such as Shall We Dance and King And I. you know how our section alone sounds like for whatever pieces. if you can't pitch the note or rather notes, it doesn't matter. but at least get the rhythm right and show little respect to the person infront, be it me, yonglin or xiang by being compliant. same goes to the sec1s : ) if you keep on playing by yourself and couldn't care less of what's happening to the people around you, then what's sectional for? yonglin've said that no such thing as SELF-SECTIONAL is going to be carried out during such time. meaning y'all are not allowed to separate else where and the next thing i'd realised is that some of you have gone to some places without informing the seniors your whereabouts. besides that, sec2s[seniors] -_-" please don't neglect the juniors. although i may be always taking the sec1s, find time to know them better. but of course, before that you must know your basic stuffs well before wanting to lead them and this includes knowing your scores well. AND sectionals is not the time for you to figure out your notes and hold back the whole section which is, a total waste of time. each and everyone of us have to work hard alright. and yes, bring home instrument, i don't see the point forcing y'all to bring back which i know in the end, y'all bring back for the sake of just bringing it back and not practice. so why bother? from now on, kick this attitude aside. i'm sure you don't want the scolding from mr lim because we, as a section not knowing how the rhythm goes. COUNT. so anyway, there's nothing else i can do except for you wanting to better improve yourself and know your basics well! ;D

2006-06-16T16:23:00.000+08:00

knowing the fact that the sec ones and especially the sec twos are desiring for a section tee, i don't think we're ready for it. about the section tee issue, i know i've told xiang about this but i've decided to share it with the rest as well. so, anyway, about the section tee, i want to see bonding and a nurturing relationship in our section first, course what's the point of making it when we've disunited section? a section tee shows unity and i don't think we're up for it just yet. i've said what i've to say to y'all last saturday and i hope all of you wouldn't take it for granted. we've to work together, alright. socialize being the word here? it's not easy i know. but i'm sure we're able to achieve ;D hanis.
