Well done yesterday, for the fund-raising programme:)

-You are great, but the audience don't listen to you, they listen to the band.
-There's not You, I , Me, but WE
-If you are not sure, ask. If you don't know, do something.

Please practice before band resume on wednesday.
How to practice?
-Figure out the rhythm by writting the syllabus out.
-Use a slow tempo like 74 first and clap the rhythm out.
-When you can clap the rhythm out already, sing it as you clap.
-as you sing try to sing the articulations.
-when you can do all properly, play it with the metronome at tempo 74 first.
-if you can play it correctly then increase the tempo and play again.

While you are practicing, remember to get your breathing, posture right!
Doesn't mean that there isn't anyone nagging at you to breathe deep ,you don't breathe deep while you are practicing at home!
Please Practice diligently, we do not have much time left. After band break there will be an exchange, i bet you won't want to sound bad during that exchange yeah?
Before i go,
REMEMBER TO MEMORISE THUNDERER!
Don't wait till Mr wong wants to shoot the video then you start to panic!
i'll try my best to open the band room for you all to practice as a section, other than that i wish that you will try to meet up as a section and find a place to practice okay?
Remember to practice, don't be the one who drag the whole band down, we are a band, not individual players in the band. Nobody listen to you when the whole band plays, they listen to the whole band, It only takes one person to spoil everything, our hardwork!
