hey juniors, i heard you girls have NOT been practicing during sectionals on your own. Seriously, i am dissappointed HOWEVER i know you guys have your reasons. but even if you do not know what is the tune or how you all are supposed to play. you all should just try, even if you got it wrong, just learn from your mistakes. Do NOT be afraid to make errors. everyone makes mistakes. all you have to do is to learn from your mistakes. Also, DO NOT always say that you can't do it when you have NOT even try. cause both weelyn and i all believe that you girls can play and do your best. WE BELIEVE IN YOU GIRLS! so make us proud. and the moral of the story is to DARE TO MAKE MISTAKES! come on, SAXOPHONISTS are SENSATIONAL!

HELLO! (:

Junior band is finally over! But i wish i could go and perform again cause it was so FUN!! ((:
Sadly, we still can't relax coz have to work hard for the hawaii performance thing..
and than after than SYF..
Today we were so nervous and excited before the rehersals cause theres Mr David Glosz sitting at the circle seats and when we were sitting below, we couldn't see him but could only hear him giving comments. So i and CAssandra called him Charlie from the Charlie's angels. HAHA.
He's really demanding sometimes. He was so scary when he asked us to play power rock another time... with a faster speed... But overall everyone said it was okay..
haha...
I was so tired when I got back to school.. almost fainted. HAHA. I couldn't keep my eyes open and i got a bad headache.. But don't know why when i got home i became okay..
HAHA. i still have energy to use the labtop.. ( my dad's one ) LOL.
Than we had to take the lift up to the 4th floor... it was so dark so everyone kept screaming like mad people.. HAHA.
After we kept our instruments, i kept on scaring cassandra by tapping her shoulder and she got so freaked out she screamed and ran =P
Michelle decided to scare Mr Chan but we decided not to as we were afraid he will scold.
HAHA, it was so much FUN!! (:
I still wish i was a junior next year!
Anyways, gotta go.. TOODLES!!

~ SAXOPHONE ROCKS MY SOCKS.~

LOVE, KAYLER ((:

you girls were sensational! seriously. saxophonists are sensational. nice! a job WELL DONE! you girls played very well in the juniors band festival and did your very best. and i am sooo friggin proud of you all. to tell you all the truth, my heart was beating friggin fast and i was scared too. haha. oh wells. Dun you guys felt a sense of satisfaction doing your thing out there on the stage? anyways, i felt it for you all. you all really did your best and i can hear it. haha. your efforts in practicing paid off.
Now, you all have to bond as a section, helping one another and stay in a section when you are like performing outside. i saw most of you staying together, which is good. i was happy seeing you working and caring as a section. that's cool! haha, now, the "real work comes" quoted from MR DE, haha, you guys will be playing renegade dances. you all can do it!
Once again, pls add weelyn at walauweelyn@hotmail.com. thank you.

oh wells. Jo's back again. Been busy with stuff. hey juniors, Juniors' Band Fest is in two weeks time. must practice more often. if you guys are free on friday, please come back for self-practices, just for next two weeks. Also, you all should not be afraid. cause if you really practice and know your work, you can do it! as the saying goes 'practice makes prefect'. it might sound cliche but it is really true. Must overcome your fears. Just a note, your oh-so-gu niang section leader, WEELYN, ask the juniors not to be so nervous about JBF. She MIGHT treat the whole section to Macs. YAY! JO's rejoicing! i realised weelyn's good at motivating people. (:

;theSAXOPHONISTS.

We play the wonderful instrument; the Saxophone. Coming from Saint Anthony's Canossian Secondary School's Concert Band, we're passionate about music, and more importantly, the saxophone. Currently, there are only three types of saxophone from the Saxophone family, being played in our band. That is, the Alto Saxophone, then Tenor saxophone, and the Baritone saxophone. We perform all sorts of pieces, ranging from jazz, all the way to classical. And in our hearts, there's one teacher who we'll never forget. Nasir Ibrahim, or Sir, as we call him, will be our one and only teacher. A surrogate grandfather for most of us, nobody can ever replace him as our teacher. Cheerios. Enjoy our blog!
