Last update before exams

Hi again.
My final update, before leaving this dead for 2 weeks.
I've uploaded the first recording of the SYF piece,
as promised.
Hope everyone can spot mistakes from it.
Naturally, it won't sound perfect at this point of time.
But as we practice more and more,
I will upload more each time so that everyone can compare and judge our progress.
This is our first try, so dun be disheartened.
It's quite ok already.^^
The soundtrack is located at the right side of this blog,
below the tagboard.
Those who want to have a copy please find me in my class in the morning.
See you guys soon!
All the best for your EOYs! =D
YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Xuan Ming
P.S. The song is very soft, so please adjust your volumes accordingly.

Final Update before EOYs

Hi guys.
Yesterday's performance was simply great,
but I'm sure we are capable of even more.
A review of all sections' performance since Late June (My personal opinion):
******
弹拨乐:8.5/10
笛子:8/10
笙/唢呐:6.5/10
打击乐:8/10
Cello/Bass:9/10
弦乐:7.5/10
******
Note that the above is not to start any wars,
but to let you guys know what I feel after 3 months of practice.
It is not entirely accurate as these are only my points of view.
However, let's hope that everyone will improve by End of Year as we go full steam ahead.
Practice will resume again on 10/10/2008 (Friday).
Report at 3pm sharp.
SLs and ASLs, please inform your respective teachers about these changes.
Thanks.
And for those who constantly nag, nag and nag on the blog for me to update more,
you better appreciate what you have.
You should take the initiative and ask your SLs,
and not to rely on us to spoonfeed everyone with news.
I'm human, so I am busy as well.
Any more criticisms and nagging on updates,
good luck to everyone.
All the best for your EOYs.

Practice analysis

Hi guys.
I'm sure you know that Wednesday's practice was screwed.
Thus, I won't talk about it anymore.
However, for yesterday,
it was WAY much better.
We are on course now as we aim to finish the song by week 2.
On Wednesday, the best performing section would be 笙/唢呐.
Among the rest, yeah.
Thursday, to me,
would be the 中阮.
Despite only having 3 ppl present at 4.45pm,
in which all were Sec 1s,
and faced many tough tests by Wei lao shi in the next hour,
they held on and managed to receive an "OK" from Wei lao shi.
Good job! ^^
Have a good break, and finish up your remaining homework.
Please be reminded that practices will be as usual next week,
and note that dazu will now be conducted on Wednesdays as well.
Have a great break guys!
And see you guys on Monday... =D

The timetable that I have posted up earlier may not be up to date.
I am saying this after noticing that some groups somehow turned up or did not turn up for xiaozu today.
Sheng/suona, you are having your xiaozu on Thursday, from 10am to 12pm.
Please check with your respective SLs and ASLs for the accurate timetable.
******
ANNOUCEMENT TO SLs AND ASLs
Please contact your teachers if they can make it for dazu on Wednesday.
I need the info urgently by TUESDAY morning, if you have not done so.
Thanks...
