Hello band! :D
I was told to post a essay on this blog.
I'm stuggling of what to say because my standard of
english is not good. But I hope you guys will understand
what I meant / say.

I feel that today's band practice is better den the previous
practice. As, we are all focusing and paying attention to
what Mr.Yeo is saying. That's a good thing. Although I talk,
and others are talking alittle but I think it's ok.
And I see many people taking down notes of what Mr.Yeo
told us. I hope we can always pay attention like how we did
today. And everyone did a good job.

There's two things I learn today. I learn the meaning of
matching with flutes, oboes & vibes. Last time, I was so
noob. I dont know what's this, what's that. Matching means,
we must like try to connect to them as in who we are playing with.
Or else, it wont sound nice. I also learn that, we must really
listen. Because if you lost count, you have to listen to know
where you are & if you go ask the person beside you. End up,
both of you will also lost count. So we must really really listen.

I think that the band is okay. And if we really pay attention,
we are able to play better music. There was this time, when
my knee was injure and I wasn't able to fall in and do foot drills.
I sit at the shelter there, I look at the band doing drills.
The band look very nice, but just that got this something we lack
of. Which makes the band look weird. Not very weird. It's like,
you see an art piece or a picture, you can see something is not there
& it lokks funny/ weird. I think you guys will understand a bit of what
I'm saying.

I also want to tell the band, we must be like that time, we in HK,
performing with NeoWinds. We worry about the concert &
we are putting in our effort to make a nice concert,
because we want to look nice, we dontwant to embarrass ourselves.
I can see that we really want to do well. We were worried &
I was feeling very stress-up. I like that time when we are all worry.
Not I like to see people worry lah. Is that, when we worry together
you know you not the only one worry & you have many people
around you worrying too.

And that's was the first time I see tingwei alittle worried.
I really want him to worry again for his parts.
Because if he worry, he knows what to do & I believe he can do it.
And from a small action, we can see alot of things. Like today's
captain ball. Nicko's group they choose their own clique,
they think they will win with the friendship among them. In the end,
complency brought the whole team down.
Like Joyce's group, although we are winning, we became a little
complacent & the other group all trying to get the ball which
shows a Never-Say-Die spirit. I like it!
Although, their group suddenly many people,
suddenly short of 1-2 people.

Lastly, let's all work hard for SYF!

Aubrey.
