hello people!
just wanna share with you guys something.

consistency is lost through complacency

was just chatting with some people a few days ago. and simon came up with this.
isn't it true? we gotta really be consistent in everything we do, be it studies, band, EVERYTHING!
this year's sfy and the genting trip can be evidence of us being complacent because of consistency.
we were not consistent enough in our own practice.

so everybody, we gotta learn from our own mistakes. so now, we gotta work very very very hard. AND NOT BE COMPLACENT.
the next syf we're gonna earn back our gold medal. well, most of the seniors would not be here anymore. so juniors! it is time for you to rise up, and really lead the band. in 4 months time or so, we seniors will be stepping down. you guys really need to learn how to lead.

let's all work hard and play harder:D


goodbye!
with love,
jasmin

Hello all!
Please take note that you guys are required to come back for band on 26, 27 & 28th of December, 1pm-4pm, for the next year's secondary 1 orientation planning. Reporting time is at 12.45 as usual.
I'm sure section leaders have already informed you all, so please confirm with them if you are able to make it or not okay!
Thanks!

Love to all! :D
DM, Jolene

If there's a will, there's a way.

This is my first time blogging here.
and don't be surprise.
cause i know you know i blog alot if you read my blog la.
anyway, thats off point la.
Wanted to blog here, cause firstly of what Jolene blogged,
don't just read, post too, so i went to get password from Jasmin since she's not online.
So ya, here i am blogging on the band blog.

Okay, first thing..
Genting trip was really really fun, if you don't believe ask those who went.
and i also hope that, for the next overseas trip, the whole band can make time for it.
Cause i really believe you people will enjoy it, and also learn something valuble from the trip.
ya, so if you all just make time for the trip, you guys can go for it.
So if there's a will, there's a way la..

And of course la, everytime go somewhere need some memories right!?
So this post cfm have alot of band pictures.
sorry la. i like flooding pictures on blogs.
The following pictures are just some of us who went genting, and ya just view them. =)

on the bus to Genting.

@ Yong Peng for break.


Some of our group pictures during the first day.

This is the best part, we was gathering for dinner, and than we started singing the karoke there. and than other schools come and copy us too..
So this shows we are cool! hahas..

A big group of us on the mountains.



I bet this is like the best day all of us who went Genting will agree..
we played together with woodgrove and yeah, we had hell lot of fun.
We played Venus and Disco mix together.
and after the concert, all of us mixed around with Woodgrove and crapped around.
Super cool, cause the opportunity of 2 bands getting together and play is like 0%.
But we did, and it was really fun!

yeah.. just abit on Genting la.
But i really hope the next time, maybe next year, Hong Kong,
you people can go la. So its really like full band outing or something,
and we can get bonded, than like so cool right!

Well next year, the Sec 3s will become Sec 4s.
Sec 2s to Sec 3s
Sec 1s to Sec 2s.
Time flies, and soon, most of the Sec 3s will all step down.
And as a Sec 3, i really hope the band will just buck up,
cause i know SHWO never falls down. But she will climb back up to the top of the mountain la.

If everyone just put in a little more effort, a little more enthu,
i believe band will rise up to get Gold in SYF and maybe even Gold with honours.
So its really time for us to buck up now,
cause soon it will be the Sec 2 leading the band.
I really hope you guys right, stop thinking of "ponning band".
If you guys really have anything unhappy with, speak with the seniors,
i know seniors won't mind anything. Just speak to them,
and whatever you're unhappy with, just say it out.
Cause we are a band, not enemies.

Band can be really very very fun, if you really put your whole heart into it.
Even if you're a sec 1 or whatever, i believe you guys can mix into the band.
Cause if Donna and Huimin can do it, why not Sec 1, Sec2 and Sec 3 & 4s?
As the heading shows, if there's a will, there's a way.
So if you all put in effort, there will be force.
Than the force will push you, and than you will have fun, and feel that band is fun.
SO KICK OFF THE THOUGHT OF PON BAND
Next year will be our Impressions.
and its the time for us to prove to the school we still rock,
even though we achieve a Silver. But is so bad about a silver?
At least we did put in our effort to achieve that medal right?
yeah, so lets head and move forward to Impressions.
and after impressions, SYF 2009!

So next year, we must really put in our best!
Get more sec 1s to join us.
Even now, if you know any sec 1 coming to st hilda's, pull them into band.
Show them that band rocks better than any other CCA.
of course la! we really rock what.
So, lets get our sec 1s next year. and make them love band like we do!

and i heard around 27 dec like that, thay say got band.
so ya, people try to make time for it okay!
As they say, if there's a will, there's a way. lols.
so ya. lastly, a comic for you guys to enjoy.
made by of course moi... hahas.


CYA GUYS IN BAND!
ONE BAND ONE SOUND.
love you all!

Hi everyone (:
First of all, i want to say good job to all those who went genting on clinching a silver award!
I'm really v v proud of the band. With only 1/3 (one-third) of the band going for genting, silver award is already v good. Although we had some hicups along the way, we still managed to play through both songs.
Even though we're all happy about the silver, we cannot be contented with it. We still have alot of room for improvement & we have to continue working hard for our upcoming Impressions 9 & SYF 2009.

2007 is gonna come to an end very soon & next year we're gonna have to start recruiting new Sec1s so everyone might be needed to come back to band on the 27, 28 or 29dec. Your respective section leaders will inform you about the details again.
Hope you see all of you then. Take care.

With much love,
DM, Jolene.

Greetings all (:
Genting trip's in 3days time, & tomorrow or in fact today is gonna be our last band practice.
I'm sure all of you guys want to achieve a gold or even better a gold with honours/distinction yeah?
So dear banders, please practice extremly hard for the remaining 3days & i'm sure if we put in our best, we will be able to achieve what we want. Even if we do not achieve what we want, we'll be contented knowing that we put in our best & gave it our best shot, agree all? (:
For all not going for genting, please continue to practice hard & i look forward to seeing all of you when school reopens. (:


With love,
DM, Jolene
