Hello Band Members,

Bravissimo II was great! But there is always room for improvement.
Lets all be ambitious and await for Bravissimo III! woo!
And make each concert better and better.

Anyway
the other reason why decided to post this, is that I want to apologise to the owner of the Euphonium I knocked down, as well as the band and Sir.
Sorry..It was my mistake. I did not look where I placed my feet at.
AND
I will be responsible and gladly do punishment.
AND
It will never happen again.
AND
Thats all I have to say.
I hope you all can forgive me.

Anyway,
Rest well, See you all on Monday!

Chao-outside,
David.

Hello Band Members,

This post is regarding the basic attire(hair) of both Males & Females.
Our Principal will be attending our concert, and out attire needs to be neat.

1) Males
- Hair must not touch ears
- Hair must not touch collar
- Hair must not touch eyebrows
- Hair at the back must be sloped
* Any MALE members who do not meet these standards have to go for a haircut ASAP.

2)Females
- Hair must be neatly combed
- Those with long hair must ensure that their hair is tied up neatly with a black rubberband

There are some guys that need a haircut, you know who you are.
Deadline to meet the standards : This Thursday.
It would be great to see all the male's hairstyles meeting the standards by tomorrow though.

Anyway
Rest well, see you guys tomorrow.
Goodnight.

Chao-outside,
David.

Dear Honorable Band members,
I will keep this post short.

Today, 7th December of 2009, you guys produced a miracle. 2 hours of solid sectional paid off don't you think? A lot of effort was put in and you guys deserve a round of applause. Now, let's be consistent till the day of our performance ok? Remember, always aim for excellent sound production and listen with your eyes and watch with your ears....XD. Quoted from Mr Ng.

Take note. Details for tomorrow are as follows :

1)Be on time at 8. Latecomers WILL BE PUNISHED(AGAIN).
2)Come in your red shirt(school's shirts, pick one). If your not attired properly, you are to go home to change.
3)Drills- Sectional drills to be divided into your own sections and SL and ASLs will take charge.
4)We will go for sectionals and produce MORE MIRACLES.
5)Full band

Sec 1's bring your necessary materials for the design.
Those who did not bring you uniform today, do so tomorrow.

Take Care.
With Love,

Your DM, Syafiq.


4 more days to Bravissimo 2.

NOT TOO LONG LEFT..

Greetings Beloved Band Members.

Countdown: 5 More Days to Bravissimo 2

I would like to convey a few things to the Honourable Woodlands Ring Band members. I know I nag a lot but please endure with me.
Well, if you think the concert is still a long time to come, WAKE UP!!!!
For those who are in the right mindset, thank you and please help to spread this mindset to the rest of your band members.

Attendance
Attendance is very important as you all know. Sir always mentions that if your attendance record is bad, there will be no performance for you. NO REHEARSAL, NO PERFORMANCE.
The Majors have noticed that a handful have reported late for band and we have not taken action YET. However we have consistently taken note of these latecomers and you know what to expect from the majors right? PUNISHMENT. Come on guys, you guys are responsible and matured band members, so please exercise punctuality.
Also, recently, many band members have fallen sick. Therefore, please take care of your health and don't overwork yourself. SLEEP EARLY!!! You don't want to fall sick on the day of performance right?

Drills
There's not much to say about this topic because its all said during the drills session itself. I know I have been shouting to the juniors a lot and pushing you guys hard. However, remember, you guys are going to be seniors next year with a new batch of juniors to train. So, you must always be of high standards and make sure you are competent in both music making and drills. Drills is imperative in sustaining self discipline and pushing your limits. Seniors, you all have been a little rusty but for the past few sessions you have been putting in effort and your precision in drills have improved. But, like i always say during drills, good, but not good enough. Thus, stay focused and have the right mentality during drills.

Discipline
Its in our band blood(if there's such a word) to chit chat a lot during band practice. You can speak. AFTER BAND PRACTICE OR IF YOU WANT TO GIVE INSTRUCTIONS OR WHATSOEVER, ASK FOR SIR'S PERMISSION. I Have been observing you guys and I have taken note the talkative ones. Also, there are some sections who are regular chit chatters during band practice.
Come on guys, I want to treat you guys as matured band members who exercise integrity. I will be stricter with this issue in the coming band practices. Last but not least, YOUR POSTURE IS NOT UP TO STANDARD. SIT HALF THE CHAIR, FEET FLAT ON THE FLOOR. AND WE ALSO HAVE TO IMPROVE ON OUR PRECISION IN UP INSTRUMENT AND DOWN INSTRUMENTS. TRUST ME, IT WILL MAKE YOU LOOK OUTSTANDING DURING THE CONCERT.

Ok, that's all for my long speech.
I will be reviewing every band practice on this blog.
Work hard.

With Love,
Your DM, Syafiq.

About The Band
The band was formed in 1998 and saw her formative years
under the musical direction of Mr. Richard Png
and achieved a bronze medal in SYF 2003.
Mr. Colin Ng took over the band mantle in 2004
and further developed the band into her present symphonic capacity.
The band was awarded a silver medal in 2005
and a bronze medal in 2007
and in 2009, the band attained another silver award
in the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Central Judging of Concert Bands.
Woodlands Ring Military Band has since became also very versatile
in serving as Band-in-attendance for many school regimental parades.
We had been honored with an invitation to perform for the
St. John Ambulance Brigade Changing of Colors Parade
which was graced by his Excellency, President S.R. Nathan.
and the band was invited to perform in many
subsequent zone level SJAB parades and private functions.
The band’s concert series “Bravissimo” started since 2006 is a performance
platform managed by students to showcase the entrepreneurship
and develop community spirit of our musicians.
Our current membership stands at sixty and
we aspire to be the cultural ambassador of Woodlands Ring Secondary School,
not just to our local community but also to the rest of the global community.
