Thursday, March 24, 2011 ( 11:25 PM )

Dear section,
                    SYF is coming. 11 APRIL is coming. THE TENSION IS HERE!
You guys are all inside the SYF as main players. Work hard, prove me that you can do better than what you are now because i know you can.

Practices:
29/3/11: 2.30 to 6
1/4/11: 1 to 6
2/4/11: 1 to 6
5/4/11: 2.30 to 6
8/4/11: 1 to 6

Look at the number of band practices we have now. Its only 5 left.
How many hours left? If you just depend on the practices, you'll definitely have insufficient time.
Start thinking about your tone, pulsing, feelings. PLAY WITH FEELINGS. We are humans! And all humans have feelings!


Also:
You are to come back on every monday from 2 to 5pm, and wednesday from 3 to 4pm. It is the only time where you can sectionals and work on your mistakes! And focus when you are sectionaling. Do not be distracted, if not it will be pointless and time consuming.
Also, tuesday & thursday morning sectionals from 7am.


THANKS.

JIAYOU GUYS! YOU CAN DO IT!

YOUR SL
WANXIN

Hey Doublereeds section! (: Hope this is not too late but I just wanna dedicate one last post for you guys before I officially leave.

In alphabetical order:

Chelsea: My first oboe junior! (: Still remember the first time you held your oboe? Yeah, you've really grown so much! To be honest, you're a really independent learner because I didn't teach you much when you just entered DR section. For that, I'm really sorry! Nevertheless, you still manage to learn by yourself and become who you are today. (: Believe in yourself and continue striving because you HAVE the potential in you! Be daring to show people what you've got, okay? I would really miss hiding Wanxin's things with you during combined band and laughing at lame stuffs.. ): You've been a really fun junior!

Kahonn: The guy who likes to say "Hello!". When I see your name, it reminds me of heart shapes, LOL! Okay okay. I still remember the buddha claps you did on our way for lunch during band. Haha! Good old times.. Hmm, after Wanxin step down next year (Which is really soon), you'll be the main bassoonist already so do start bucking up okay! You're a really fast learner like zoom! Keep striving for the better horrrrrr! There's still a long way for you to go and much more challenges for you to deal with. You'll have your very own juniors very soon and it'll be your turn to teach them just like how the seniors taught you! Keep going!

Kim: The newest member of Doublereeds section! If I'm not wrong, I'm the first person to teach you how to play the oboe right? (: Old already, so my memory is failing me. Haha. From then, you've really improve and do continue working hard! Play more long tones, which I think is what you need the most right now. I can gurantee that you would improve after practicing your long tones! You too, together with Kahonn will have your own juniors really soon. I'm glad that you're deteremined to be a good player and I can sense it keep this determination and allow yourself to grow even further! You'll be amazed by much you can do, by yourself. Jiayou, my dearest oboe junior! (:

Wanxin: Evening starrrrrrrr! I still remembered that you sent me this super long message on promotion day and I seriously cried after I read it. Not forgetting the one you sent me after band camp too. All those messages will be locked in my mind forever. (: As the SL of DR section, you're doing fine and I really like that you're focused on your goals! Bring the section to an even higher standard, I'm sure you can do it! Keep pushing and motivating them because they really need you to nag at them constantly. It's just in DR-ians blood. Haha. Anyway, it's so easy to steal your things leh! Me and Chelsea have advanced level skills in stealing your things. Hahaha. (: Ohyah, anyway, your '-.-' photo is still in my phone. HAHA. And I will really miss your blurness in the section.

Yes, we're from different sections before we got into DoubleReeds section. And although we're from various sections before we came in, our bonds still remained strong and I'll never forget you guys for all the memories! Thank you so much. I was hardly around last year but I'm so glad you guys are understanding and are independent on your own. A pat on your shoulder for that. - Pat Pat- Haha. DoubleReeds section gave us an opportunity to know each other and I cherish the opportunity given to me. Keep growing, guys! I see the potential shining out from all of you (Ohhh, so bright!) so no matter how tough things could be, don't ever give up! Although I might not be with you guys anymore, my moral support will forever stay within the section. Will try to come back as frequently as possible to visit. I hope I would see the section at a even higher standard the next time I come back. I love you guys and I mean it.



ZOEY.
