Hey Batch'12 <3
It's my first post here(: Hmm okay i guess i came here to ask for your opinion in some stuff and say something?
Firstly, would it be okay if we remove some posts that are rather irrelevant to the batch and band in general? I know it might be your attempt to revive the blog but I guess it isnt directly related to your batch/band so it shouldnt be here? (considering that we have juniors now and the other batch blogs are so formal and everything) We should set a better example? Do tell me if you have strong objections towards removing the posts or else i'll get the creator of this blog(xinhui?) to remove them?

Secondly, as we all know the NTU band concert is in 10 days--which seriously isn't very far away so let's all work very hard! We must make our indiv this week fulfilling and effective. (on a side note, please do not slack during indiv. i know some people just want to clock 4 hours and get over with it but please really spend these 4 hours practicing and not resting/slacking) It wont help if you're spending four hours at the batchcorr but not doing anything useful (i.e working out some difficult parts) so please make full use of these 4 hours. I may not be the best person to tell you all how we really need to improve alot before our practice with Mr Yagisawa and the actual concert itself but we really dont want to embarrass ourselves during our practice with him or the concert. With reference to Sheryl YN's email, we really have to make sure this concert isn't like a total fail or anything cause its really really very important. It affects Cadenza XII ticket sales very directly. Cadenza XII is also the next thing we really need to work hard for after the NTU band concert. It most probably will be the first ever concert for many of you so I'm sure we wont want to screw it up right? It will also be the last concert with our directs and it just wont be right if we dont work hard for it and make it a success. We do want to have a memorable experience. I believe band means alot to many of us--those who I have briefly talked to and we'll be spending all 4 years of our secondary school life in it so why don't we make the best out of it? As quoted from one of my inunion letters, "input is directly proportionate to output" so if we put in the effort to improve, we'll definitely see the improvement after time. You'll realise that the outcome of the concerts will be very pleasant if we're willing to put in effort and we should have the determination and courage to "fight on" even after we have failed. We might not be able to successfully play one part properly but if hardwork is put in we'll succeed one day. Also, dont be afraid to ask for help from seniors. I'm sure they're more than willing to help. Please do try to come down to the batchcorr in the mornings for batch bonding too-- its a good time to finish some homework and bond.
Sorry if this posts sounds too serious or repetitive etc. but we really need to work hard! We don't have much time left before NTU Band Concert or Cadenza XII(which is in 51 days) so let's work hard together as a batch(: GO BATCH'12! :D
oh yes, please be reminded also that we're not allowed to indiv in the band room--only the top batch and percs are allowed to so indiv at the batch corr or somewhere else okay(: i also didnt know until my direct told me yesterday:/
On another note, please try your utmost best to go lower and louder during attendance taking. It wont make sense if the Sec 1s are told to go lower and louder but we're still very soft and high. We need to be good role models too. Do also try to check our batch blog and your emails for regular updates.
On another note, hope y'all are having fun at LJs!
All the best for indiv!
Love,
Perina
