Hi guys,

Sorry I can't make it for holiday band practices as I was at overseas. But I heard that all of you had gotten scolded by melissa again...I know that it's not only our section but the whole band. I wish that all of you can help the leaders and teachers to contribute by keeping quiet everytimes even if there is no conductor or leader in front.And what's worst is there are conductor in front and you are still chatting or talking... This is very disrespectful. What if you are in front telling something and people are chatting and doesn't care about you? You will feel sad and angry right? It goes the same for the people in front. Why does Miss Tan have to be angry everytime? It is because some of the people do not listen what she is talking about and then asking what do they need to do. I did not listen to her sometimes too and I'm really sorry. And I know not all of you are talking. It's good to help to call others to quiet and listen carefully.

Seniors also play a very, very important part too...Without you seniors,we won't be able to keep the standard up and the whole section will collapse.Okay,now I'm going tell you my plan for our section's standard of music. I'm going to tell Mingming to focus on the Secondary Two seniors and make them play much, much better. And I'm going to focus either on the Secondary Three or One. And of course, I need the Secondary Four seniors to help me out too...So please try to co-operate with us..Thanks...

Hey guys,

It has been awhile seen I have post anything...
I just want to point out....that your playing are still not improving....Sec2,you all are senior the band already!!!Please lead your section even there are only two of you and the seniors.You cannoy expect us seniors to cover you all the time right?What if we step down next year?Clarinet section will sure collapse....You must not be shy!!Even if your seniors are around,you can prove that you are able to play as well as them or even better!!

Seriously,I do not want to see this kind of stituation.If me or the other seniors come back after we graduated, I can imagine how much worse this band will get.Or worse,like what mr pek said,band will be gone in the school...

I hope all of you can see what I wrote and think about it...

HELLO BAND!!

How do you think of the performance and CCA Fair today?Well...All of us did a good job but clarinet has many more to improve....not that I want to discourage you all but I just want to let all of you know that even if you are the top player in Kent Ridge SB, you are not the best in Singapore or even the World....

By the way,our next performance is coming soon so I would like to see all of you to practice much,much more than now...All of your tonguing and other things are not so good...If can,I will ask the leaders to let you all to bring home your instruments and practice.

Please do not leave it with the dust okay?All of you did not realise how terrible you are playing...but of course I am not that good too and I will do my best but all of you have to do your best too....

Hi all,

How's yesterday Band camp? I can see many of you had fun.

Well, fun's over...We have to be serious now.31 december is our audition already.We have no time to lose...It is just 2 songs for us to master.Many of you are getting more and more disrespectful to the leaders.I don't want to scold you but all of you are not putting effort in playing music.You are all just playing notes...

I wish to see more improvements and not getting it worse in both music and character....

Your naggy ASL(hahah)

Hello members,

I am so sorry for not posting on this blog. As i also know that this going to be a dead blog. But i hope next year this blog would be a wonderful blog. :) And i must thanks Zi liang for help me to post on this blog. Next there will be a new bach of sec 1 coming in and we must get as many members as we can to join our section. So we must work hard in playing our insturments and make them feel that band is a wonderful CCA to join. Is it ok?

I have heard from Zi liang that you all are making comments and talking back to him when he ask you to do something . When it is time to play you play but when it is time to be serious be serious. I hope we could help each other and not tease at each other's mistakes. Please have feelings when you are playing any piece of music.

I hope you all will enjoy coming for band. JIAYOU KRSB :)

Hi guys,

Sorry for not updating...But same as Linda,I think I'm the only one who updated this blog....Anyway,how's this holiday practices?Some of you felt bored while some felt fun...

Even if we does not have any concert,we still have many things to do like basic skills...bahbah...
I look that all of them think that it is boring to re-teach again but in order to make our band a better band and get a better award in SYF or any concert.

Anyway,our band is improving and sec1s too...but that's not enough...Clarinet Section,you all are not improving much too...especially the sec2s...When I take you in sectional,all of you are just playing a fool...And all of you just don't try...When I asked you all to play Fight of the Piasa,some of you just say it's too hard and don't want to play it...If all of you have this kind of attitude,we will fail...

All of you still remember when we had our band exchange with the three other schools?If they can do it,why can't we?All of us are human...I wish to see more and more improvement from all of you.

WOOHOO!!!!

Hi all,

This blog is quite dead this few weeks....And now we are back...Kent Ridge Symphonic Band!!!haha.All right,guys.It's time to work more in your goals to be able to play nice music.As you all know,we are still not that good and in order to do that,we must PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!

We really have to work hard.A clarinet instrument is not very easy to play.You have to be able to control the air pressure,embouchure and many other things to take note.So,good luck.I wish all of you can put in you 100% effect into the band.See you soon and Sec4s good luck again for your coming O' level....

Ziliang=)

LONG TIME~

2009-09-05T08:10:00.000+08:00

HELLO everyone,

It's quite some time we had chat in this blog...If you came to this blog to visit,please tag something before you go;).Of course not something bad:)

It's the last day of school and we have about 4/5 band practices only before our End-of-Year Examination...and we will have no band practices till it's over...I wish all of you can do your best in playing your instruments and learn as fast as possible in your basic technique.If we try,we could be one of the best section in the band.

Playing so many new songs is so fun but all of those are only grade 1 and 2....If we can master all of this,we may also be able to play some grade 4 songs.So please do your best.And the disclipine is terrible...I hope that all of you can be more self-disclipine.If your Section Leader is not doing her job,as a band members,please ask them to quiet.I know you all doesn't want any drills right?But honestly,I LOVE IT!!!So if the leaders ask us to do Sectional Drills,you should know I will kill you all...(haha,just joking)

And I wish you all good luck in your End-of-Year Examination...Sec1s jiayous in promoting to same classes,sec3s too...Sec2s jiayous for your Streaming Promotion Examination and wish you good luck in going for the course you choose.And of course,(I said it many times)good luck to the sec4s for your O' level!!!!!

Hey people,
There will be a checking of your personal file by the libarians on friday so do remember to bring your personal file. OK?

SL,
Ming Ming

2009-08-14T18:59:00.001+08:00

OK.Clarinetists,

As I had said before.I will be giving all of you a new instruction about what you should do during packing and setting the formation,during sectional and requirement need for a clarinetist.

First,I will say the duties assigned by me and mingming.

Collecting of stands,files and tuners:
Monday- Stands: Nuh/Daniel
Tuners and Files: Joleen
I-recommand: Mingming

Friday- Stands: Candice
Tuners and Files: Johnathan
I-recommand: Ziliang

Keeping of stands,files and tuners:
Monday- Stands: Yu Meng/Angeline
Tuners and Files: Maywen
I-recommand: Ziliang

Friday- Stands: Yunhan
Tuners and Files: Yiqian
I-recommand: Mingming

This is the schedule.I and mingming will check every monday and friday.If we found out any of you didn do what you should do, you will be punish.

Next,I will say what you should do during band sectional.

If there's a sectional,the seniors will take in charge of the juniors in alternate ways.
First week: Ziliang and Joleen - Ziliang in charge
Second week: Johnathan and Yiqian - Johnathan in charge
Thirth week: Mingming and Yunhan - Mingming in charge
Fourth week: Nuh and Maywen - Maywen in charge

This will be carry out soon.I might change the schedule back to normal like SL or ASL to teach only.The purpose of this is to let some of you to experience how to lead and in the process,you,seniors can learn some positive and negative things.It can also reflect how you teach and solve the situation.The Sec2s does not need to worry on how to teach. It will help you to gain confidence on what you are doing.The SL and ASL will help you if you need help. But if I or Mingming find out any bad things you are teaching the Sec1s,we will take action.But if the schedule is not working,I will return it back to normal.For the people I didn put your names in the schedule for teaching the Sec1s, it's not that I doesnt trust you or scare you will do bad things to the juniors, it is just that I would like you to improve more in your playing and focus on it too.You will see that it can help you alot as well.And for the people I entrusted you to teach the Sec1s,I will also like to see some improvements in both discipline and couragement.I will see how you are doing and if you are not too suitable to teach the juniors I might change you.Dont think it in a wrong way.

Lastly,Mingming had writen the rules as a clarinetist.

Rules:
-Respect your leaders and seniors and show equally respect to every single person.
-Do not leave the stands and files behind even if you know that that particular person is packing.
-Be more pro-active and cooperating when your SL or ASL tell you to do something(dont keep asking why.If you want to know the reasons,ask it in a proper way)
-If your leaders,instructors or teachers is talking,you are not to talk and do other stuffs.
-Do not talk back to your seniors,leaders,teachers and instructors.
-Raise your hand if you have any comment(No stupid question.If the person did not see you raising your hand,wait and try raising again after he/she is done with what he/she is doing.
-Dont talk among yourselves when the instructors,leaders and teachers is talking during combined band or sectional.
-If you have some important things to do or talk,talk at your lowest volume and dont talk uneccessary.

I know I'm naggy.But please do it.Anyway,I doesnt want to hear any question about the new timetable I have given you.You should know what,when and how you should do.If you cant remember the duty schedule,please write it in a notebook,handbook or foolscarp.

Thanks for your time,ZiLiang.

hi all,

It's being so long seen we have see each other in band.I guess you all missed your instruments very much?
Me too,and now with the new instrutor, We all can teach new thing and not to mention about the 8 instrutors that Mr Pek was going to call over and teach us more about our instruments.

I wish that you all can do your very best to learn and work hard as well. Like the teachers said,seniors should help more for your juniors and of course practice more for yourself as well. You cant teach the juniors but you yourself cant even play it well.

So I wish all you can work hard this year and make it better next year. It is especiallly the sec1s and 2s as we are the next batch to go for SYF and if we work hard,we can get not only a bronze but a gold maybe. As long as we believe that we can do it,we can!!

ZiLiang

2009-06-23T17:40:00.002+08:00

Okay,band.

As you all know that many things has and had happened for all this months and years.I wish that all of you could stay strong and happy for your time in the band.Mr Wong and Ms Tan are leaving us from now on and I wish them good luck.As the seniors and Mr Pek had said,even if Mr Wong and Ms Tan are gone,We still can remember them in our heart forever and keep the spirit up forever in the band.

To me,they are both the best teachers and friends in the band I have ever met.They might scolded us a lot of times but in the process,we had learned a lot of things and they have done their very best to make this Kent Ridge Symphonic Band the best and only band we had till now.And you all know that 2 new instructors will be joining our band to teach us.I wish that all of you can give them your moral support.

And all of you know that Ms Yeo is leaving us too...(So much sadness...)She will be going to other school.And 2 more teacher-in-charge are joining us too.And the seniors will be really leaving us from Awarded Day onwards....I wish all of you can do your best to keep their determination in the band forever too...

Let's do our best to keep the band at a higher standard and work more hard in getting the top!!!!
Let's do our best in the next SYF and get a Sliver or maybe a Gold...I know that we can do it!!!!

Hi everyone!!

How's holiday?I find it quite boring....haha..did all of you revise your studies and do your holiday homeworks?(if you have)of course,holiday is when you are relaxing but june holiday is the holiday that you are preparing for your next End-Year Exam.I wish all of you can maintain both your studies and playing in band.

And I want to thanks the seniors who helped on teaching the sec1s and they did a good job on their 4 major scales.But they somehow cant play some of the notes and please do your best to help them.And all of you know that the sec1s will be play KOKOMO and have patient in teaching them but not to baby-feed them..They must learn to be independent and they may become the leaders in band in the future for whatever posts they are given.

And seniors,all of you are playing HEAL THE WORLD and IF WE HOLD ON TOGETHER.both of this songs are cool and do your best to play in good tones and others that the conductors had said before.And in Heal the World,play your best in your melodies and play good.

Btw,I heard alot of complaints from mingming that you are disrespecting her,do not listen and talking back and letting her do all the work in keeping the stands and files.Please listen to her and respect her.I dont want to heard anymore of this childish things or I will have to punish you or I will ask Linda or any of the leaders to do so.Please...all of you are grown-ups and be more mature...

yayness!

2009-04-08T20:00:00.007+08:00

yay! congrats on getting a bronze award. All of you have walked a long way, and also encountered difficulties before you can actually this award. I believe SYF 2009 would be an unforgettable one for each and everyone of you.

now, since SYF is over, its time for you to study hard..., very hard for your mid year exams. and next teach your sec 1s well so that they can do us proud for SYF 2011.

As for zong xian and yiling, CL 'O' level is on june right?, so study hard for it and try not to retake CL again, cause its just a waste of time. you should take this time to study for your other subjects.

talking about exams... i've been wanting the whole section to study together since 2yrs ago. but it has never been accomplished. So, since ur MYE's are so near does anyone of you in this section are interested in having a mugging session? if u are, please leave a tag at the tagboard. by having a mugging session, i believe u guys would be bonded even more.

next, any section members interested in posting in this blog? if u want to please ask me for the username and password.

2009-04-07T21:41:00.002+08:00

congratulations to zong xian who is able to come back in time to join the main band. lastly,

ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR SYF!

jaslyn.

i'm so sorry for not being able to attend ur SYF tmr.

2009-04-06T20:35:00.003+08:00

Hello. Yeah. Maybe tmr that will be band parctice.

On wednesday, there will be SYF for the band. So all of us must take of ourself during this period of time. haha. I hope that all the people that are on MC can come back ASAP.

Because Zong Xian and other band members have extended their MC by the doctor and some of them could only join us on Wednesday. That is like so sad. :(

Ming ming

2009-04-04T20:09:00.002+08:00

Hello I am ming ming.(if some people don't know me):)

There are about 18 or 19 of them that went to see a doctor on 1th April and i think that God is fooling us on April Fool's day.

This is the latest update: On monday there will not have any band practice. And we still don't know if we could take part in SYF. The date of our SYF is 7th April.

Juinor,
Ming Ming.:)

2009-04-03T22:54:00.004+08:00

don't say that i'm long winded, but if you are having ulcers or whatever, please go to the doctor and get a MC and stay at home and rest. At the same time do ur score reading and .....(refer to KRSB's blog)

if i'm not wrong this virus is spreading around in school, and the people are all having symptoms of HFMD.

For those who are not affected, i do not want you people to get affected, so please maintain good hygiene and also take more vitamins and fruits.

lets all hope that the band members would recover really quickly and also not lose hope each day as SYF comes nearer because you must believe that you are still in the competition.

jaslyn

hello!

its me, jaslyn. i went back to school today and i found out that some band members are down with HFMD or have the symptoms, i wonder if any of you in this section are infected, seriously, i hope non of you are. for those who are infected, i hope that you guys would recover soon and do your very best for SYF if its not cancelled.

during this period, the band room and instruments are being disinfected, i believe u guys have no instruments with you, but you have your scores with you. remember to score read and also do your breathing exercise to train your diaphragm.

:D

2009-03-30T23:42:00.005+08:00

hello!!

how are all of you doing? are you guys practising hard for the upcoming event, SYF? i hope so.

anyway, who are those faithful ones still visiting this blog and waiting for updates from your SL.

SYF is on 7th April 2009 at 10am, in VCH. i believe all of you have to wake up really early maybe around 5am and start preparing and reach school at around 6am? so, the SL better give everyone a morning call to wake ur members up.

to me, SYF is like me having my SPA test. SPA stand for science practical exam, and SYF is like an examination for a band.

So, how do i prepare for my SPA exam? the most important thing is to get enough SLEEP!! if you do not have enough sleep you will not feel energized. but before you get some sleep, think through about what may be tested for the exam and remember the key points. As for your SYF, look through the score before you sleep and do some 'sing &fing' and off you go to your lalaland.

while waiting outside my examination room, the science lab, i will FREAK OUT and resulting in me not remembering what i studied. so what should you do? take a few deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep breaths (around 3?)

next, i would start to visualise. why do ou need to do this? firstly, you will have a rough idea of what exam conditions will be like and be comfortable in it. while visualising, move ur fingers, make sure they don't get cramps or whatsoever.

if u are not sure how ur exam condition will be like, no worries, there will be a TV showing you LIVE, on what the band before you does. but, while listening to them play don't lose hope because the band before you plays really well.

because you will never know how well you have played cause you are feeling scared.

remember, mr wong always says that our band is very unique from all his other bands.

here, i wish all of you a (very very very) X ∞ good luck for your SYF!

Heys people, zong xian is unable to update due to some problems. Even if you see him online sometimes, it may not be him. So i, jaslyn will be updating on his behalf.

FYI, there will be an extra clarinet band practice on this friday, 13th June 2008. From 10am to 2pm. I really hope that everyone of you would come and learn something and bring it back home with you. As you know, speech day is coming soon, and we would want all of you to give it your best shot. Though we are only playing 1 song, this doesn't mean that we are lousy. This is because, this year, there are quite a lot of junior members with us, and we do not want to stress them out.

Anyway, i am going to say this again,

do it once, do it well, and give it your best shot.

MONEY!

2008-05-31T11:48:00.003+08:00

HEYS PEOPLE!
on 6th June there will be this exchange with the Damai people.
Sooo... we are not allow to go out for lunch.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE WELFARE PEOPLE WILL HELP US BUY FOOD.
so,
chicken burger will cost $2
fish burger will cost $4

don't ask me why is there a GREAT difference in price.
From this i will end, and! please remember to bring your money, or else you would just starve..
opps.. i forgot something, if you are vegetarian or whatever, tell ZX in ADVANCE.
