To all band members,
please take note that if you want to bring your instruments home, you have to do so
tomorrow.for juniors, your section leader/ assistant section leaders would have most probably smsed you on what they expect you to do, so kindly follow it. If they have yet to say anything to you and you want to borrow instruments home, do so tomorrow, along with your files and SOE for sec ones.
practice is important during these few weeks of CCA break, but please do not neglect your studies too. I dont want to hear of anyone from band going for panel meeting or such. After such hectic practices, it's about time you all took time off and concentrate for you studies. Just try to fork out a few hours every 2 or 3 days to practice your instrument so that your embouchure will not change drastically when you return after the CCA break.
Study hard and play hard too people!

Great job done today, MCB.
im sure all of you played your very best and that alone, is worth praising.
i'd like to share comments i saw on Bandfusion.
http://sgbandfusion.com/index.php/topic,3072.msg42962.html#msg42962&
http://sgbandfusion.com/index.php/topic,3072.msg43134.html#msg43134go check it out, at least our efforts were not wasted.
we managed to impress some people and i love you guys for that!
thank you mayflower concert band for this wonderful day and performance!
{edit}
my friend spoke to me about his views of syf and i find that what he said is true.
'syf is just another performance
as long as u have done your best
u deserve whatever medal you wished for in your heart'
- quoted from Jinjun(haha)
we have all done our best, im sure, and we deserve medals that we want, for syf is not just about the medal we get, but the journey, and effort we have put into it.
the medal, is like a materialistic item. If we know we have put in everything we've learnt into the final performance, then we have succeeded. we have succeeded and no regrets shall be made.
If we have put in our best, then yeah, we've clinched whatever we wished for mentally!
though it might not be with us physically, but we know it's there, in our hearts.
Remember,it's not just about the medal we have gotten but the journey, and effort we have put in that counts.
thank you MCB for the wonderful performance today once again!

May 6 Apr a victorious day to be remembered!
Tomorrow is finally the day, where toils of sweat that had been shed, hours of practices, dedication being put in by all would pay off all our efforts.
Just constantly bear in mind that whatever happens tomorrow, we must not panic and stay calm. CONCENTRATE AND FOCUS. Like what Mr Tan has mentioned, what matters most is the process and not the results. We just have to enjoy ourselves and have fun performing onstage. Let's capture the judges' heart, make them feel our music.
Have a good rest tonight!
Mayflower Concert Band - A long run of silver award for SYF, a name we will uphold.

The last few hours
In approx 12 hours from now, we will be standing at the SCH entrance waiting for our turn in the tuning room. By right, all of you should be drinking water while reading this.
(I posted this two years ago..)
TOMORROW'S THE DAY!! :D:D
tomorrow's the day!!
everyone must jiayou(addoil!),
relax,
concentrate,
focus, and most importantly,
look at mr tan and
dont panick!! (:
i believe that we can do it! whoots! :D
jiayou everyone!!
the hard work we've put in.. (:
"tomorrow is the day where we shall be the
eye-opener,
ear-opener and
can-opener of every school there!let's work hard tgt and march towards our golden goal! =D"
Alright, rest well, concentrate. Treat this like a normal performance on stage okay! What's more important is that we enjoy the music while it last. There's nothing more important than feeling proud of the music you play. Remember, all the hard work through these months are not done for nothing. We will not let our teachers and ex seniors and people who have been supporting us down :)
Alright, DONT BE LATE TOMORROW!
(like me, haha)
8:59 PM

today is the last actual practice we can try to improve our standard.
do get ample rest, and we will showcase what we've learnt to the judges on monday.
the clock is ticking, whether we can do it, it all turns down to that 15 minutes or so in the hall.
jiayou MCB! seniors and teachers are rooting for us! dont let them, and more importantly, ourselves down!
oh and, please bring back your white blouse and bottoms later on and wear it to school tomorrow like what you did on the day of the soundcheck.
the clock is ticking.
