Gifts for the exchange.
Hi band,
I would like to apologize to the secondary three who did up all the gifts for the exchange today. So sorry that I asked you guys to do up gifts for Tanjong Katong when Crescent Girls was the host band. I didn’t know about it too, so yeah.

I'm rather please and happy when almost all the sections had did up what they had to do as required, though flute section didn't do it. Especially Saxophone Section, whom had their card laminated. it’s really very nice of you guys to do that. Trumpet section, Clarinet section and the Double Reeds too, did up a beautiful card.

This coming Saturday we’ll be having an exchange with Green Ridge Secondary, so you have to do up something again as well. However, materials will be provided for you this time. All of you will be given some cardboard to decorate, hope you will do a nice job like this time. And hope all the sections will do it, and don’t disappoint me and Jueying. As long as we can see you putting in effort to do it, we're satisfied.

And for the Secondary threes again, Jueying and I have decided to make all the Secondary threes to turn their turns to post on the band's blog. Objectives of it is to let you guys gain experience writting to the band, tell the band what you've learnt, learning to motivate one another and let us know how you feel about band now. Also, do chip in ideas of what you think DMB could do to improve ourselves in order to achieve at least a gold. Remember, our aim is always Gold with Honours. To those who are writting, if you had received any comments by the other bands during the sharing-time today, and they had told you guys any good advices, do post it out too, share with the entire band members. And you may include in your entries how you think of this particular person or the section, which part they have to work extra harder on, but of course, reminders: please do not write anything too offensive, because this blog is world-wide readable. Encourage the person, instead of insulting him/her and pull her morale down. Ok?

As for the rest of the members, we hope you could read what the secondary threes had wrote and think through what they had said. Remember they will be your future leaders in two-three weeks' time.

Jiali.
