Kay. Since majority chose it to be on a weekday, now we would have to decide which day. Since Monday, Wednesday and Friday are usually taken up by band, why not on one of these days? Tag please.

weekend or weekday?

Alright, Miss Mok have decided that we shall have our post SYF celebration next week as there aren't any band practices and the Sec4s won't be going school for extra classes. However she needs the band to decide if all of us would prefer the dinner to be on a weekday or weekend. So people get the rest to tag yo.

And for people who have yet to pay up, please do so by this coming Friday. Payments may be made through your SL/ASL.

ASLs, Please call up your section-mates and juniors to inform them about the band practice schedules.
Please do call up the sec ones especially as most of them havent been attending CCA regularly. Should there be any members missing without a valid reason, the whole section will have to run one round around the 3 basketball courts for every member absent from practice after every band practice.

It is not only the job of the SLs and ASLs to ensure that everyone is present for practice, the whole section should be involved to ensure that your juniors and section-mates are coming for band practices and not some place else shopping or playing. So everyone should be reminding your friends to come for band practices on time, regardless whether they are in your section or not. We are one band and co-exist with every section and instruments in the band. It's one for all and all for one.
