What up, guys. Been extremely long since we've updated this blog, sorry about that. We'll try to make use of this blog more often as a form of communication.
Practice starts at 1, so be at band by 12.30 to set up. Ends at 5+ depending on how satisfied Mr Lim is with us.
The attire for practice is the new band tee and any school-based pants.
Of course, please remember to COMPLETE AS MUCH OF YOUR E-LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS AS YOU CAN IN THE MORNING, BEFORE YOU COME FOR BAND. We wouldn't want your teachers complaining that you spend too much time on your CCA, do we? Especially since we're nearing SYF.
Speaking about SYF, Quest Band really has to put in that extra bit of effort in this last stretch, as almost all the teachers have been saying. If you haven't noticed, ALOT of effort has already been put into us by the teachers and conductor. And we've already come really far, further than the last batches, to attaining that silver. It's just the last three+ weeks of extra effort, and you'll be rewarded as the first band in QTSS to achieve a Silver medal. Historic. However, if you slacken up even a little bit, you may just sabotage our combined effort in achieving this goal. Imagine the many months of crazy band devotion just to be screwed up by that little bit of effort you guys refused to put in. Do you want to walk away from the conference hall with a feeling of deep regret? I can tell you, for the last SYF, the feeling of regret we got when we got another bronze was really overwhelming. Or do you want to walk away with the ecstatic feeling of triumph that after the crazy amount of effort you put in, you MADE IT and we attained a SILVER. I really hope that Quest Band will work together for this competition.
Thanks,
