Next Practice

Hey Alumni Members! Our next and very first formal practice will commence next Friday, the 6th of March. Time is officially stated as 7 to 9pm, though we know that people will come later than 7...please try to come on time or earlier! Your co-operation will be very much appreciated...do come on time to ensure that the allocation of instruments can be done as quickly as possible!

We have chosen certain pieces to get started off with. For one thing, much of the Band's library has been disposed of; all photocopied scores with no copy of the originals present have been thoroughly disposed of. Before you lament the loss of all the scores of the pieces we've played during our times, know that CLASS (The Copyright Licensing and Administration Society of Singapore) has been making their rounds around Singapore's school bands and more; a certain school band has just been fined a whopping amount of S$20'000. Thus, our music library is less than half of what it was during most of our times...

The pieces decided are:
1. Japanese Graffiti 4
2. Salut D'amore
3. Japanese Folk Song Medley
4. 'America' from West Side Story
5. Puszta
6. Forever
7. When You Believe

No worries, it's not gonna be a fixed programme; its subject to changes decided by all of us. Also, not forgetting the Bach chorale books that will be used for short warm ups..

See you all there!
