hey obbcians!

just came here and clean off the dust!

today sectionals we have section talk.
and we really really must improve! so the best is every single
one of the obbcians do go and report at the band room everyday
after lunch!i tink the only day no sectionals won't be tuesday perhaps!

but IF THERE IS, PLS COME! esp the alumnis(sec5s) as u only left a
few mths and u be graduated from band... :( and it also..

10 WEEKS, 30 PRACTICES TO SYF!

as wat the alumnis say of out rules..

#1. NO argument
#2. never give ATTITUDE to the anyone
#3. have fun in sectional, BUT know when to be serious!!
#4. give out your opinion in a more civilised manner
#5. never bear any gruges among anyone if u have qarrells!
#6. respect to be respected
#7. never think negativly of our section even if some bandmates dislike us.
#8. seniors do be well arranged and try not to bother the alumnis!
as they are stepping down! and dun tink we're busy while the alumnis are not!!
#9.do not neglect any of your section members
#10. turn up for practice, be it sectional or combine, unless you hav value reason
#11. ALWAYS BE THE OUTSTANDING SECTION

and never NEVER EVER SPILT THE SECTION!

and remember, there is time for play and there is time for SERIOUSNESS

we must really practice hard for all the scores mr lim gave us! so that we
can move on, on the more challenging pieces mr lim wanted us to try!

PRACTICE!

PRACTICE ALL YOUR SOLOS, SOLI! PRACTICE THOUSAND OF TIMES
UNTIL U MASTER IT! CAN U IMAGINE CUZ OF A SOLO WE
SCREWED UP FOR THE PIECE AND HU'S GONNA BLAME US?!

gogo! realy, seriously must buck up! pls practice while u can! dun start
practicing when someone is there!

go for it OBBC!

-OBBC SECTION <3>

2006-11-23T06:57:00.000-08:00

HEY OBBC-IANS!

okays i'm here so post again.. looks like our blog seems to be too alive cuz 1 day 3posts..
hahah.. thats too many.. lol.. nvm.. so lets say abt yesterday our trip to Pierce Sec Sch.

anyan didn't join us cuz she is busy shoppin wif yeming ):

haha. there are the people.. pauline, rafidah and yubing. and me la. i didn't take.. lol anyan dun blame i nv put ur pics k. cuz u busy shoppin (:

ok.. when we reached Pierce.. we went to their music room and firstly the winds tutors + hornist combined and after the brasses tutor combined too. and they then arranged those visites(bnss, 1st toapayoh, rgt) to go to their section.. and me and pauline went to their "OBBC" section..

lol.. obbc as in.. pauline go BC and i went to bassoon.. and i'm so shocked that.. they actually

do not have any tutors.. and 2 person sharing 1 neck strap. sectionals alone everyday...

the bass clarinet dun have the BC stand below so they use this foot to support the bass clarinet..

the bassoons i saw are actually more ex then ours cuz they have extra keys but we don't..doesn't meant that i'm jealous or wat la.. then the lowest note she learnt was actually concert F.. the note that we sometimes tune after concert Bb that note lor.. and the last time she got tutored was actually last yr's band camp.. the tutor perfomances.. u wanna no more and see my blog..

so pity the bassoon girl lor. she looks damm strong cuz she uses she strength to support her fingers to play bassoon and support it wif no help of the straps.. 1 sec2 and other is sec1 junior..

as for the BASS CLARINETS/CLARINETS..

and Pauline said..
the clarinet tutor was actually quite pissed of by them as they kept laughing infront of the tutor as if they treat him transparent.. and they played scores e.g ‘Night Train’. And the tutor also asked paulien whether wat mistakes they did.. so she said them.. and the clarinetist was like gave a face saying ‘who are u to comment’ those kinda face lor..

MAIN IDEA

Actually I’m not like trying to suan them or saying that we are very good like that la.
Is that we actually shld really treasure our band and staffs lor.
See the pierce sec sch bassoonists . They are so eager to go band and play their bassoon although she doesn’t have neck strap but she still goes to band happily..
So actually we shld no how fortunate we are and we have all the staff we need.. the only thing we have to do is just to dig out a little time to come for band and every single thing is there for u. alumnis to teach.. seniors to guide.. they dun have any seniors or alumnis but themselfs!

So we actually shld learn Pierce sec sch’s band spirit. They are very very passionate to band.
So if we are similar to pierce.. then wats gonna happened to our band? Izzit it gonna be more ppl skippin band? They(band skippers) really dun no how fortunate they are.

And I’m like so touched by them.. if I were they.. honestly specking I’ve already quitted band.
And the double reeeds section actually spilts up and they sectionals by their own. Oboe only 1person.. no tutor.. using the fingering chat to guide themselves.
They are really very independent.

As standard we are better.
But their spirit.. they bet us.

so.. actually this section is veryx100 rare.. and we are indeed veryx100 happy to come into this section.. as we dun have to be spilted up like most of the others sch.. bassoon practice themselfs.. or oboe practice themself.. and i just love the attendants now that makes me go to band.

seriously.. mostly the schs bassoons are left alone.. and oboe go wif flute. BC wif clarinet..

actually frankly specking.. u guys may tink.. as if i very big and good like that rite.. and hu am i to comment on those band skippers or pierce.. cuz i'm only a small fly(junior) in band.. but since a fly comes to band y can't u 'big flies' guys go? is it reall that difficult just to crawl up ur bed..? lol.. this is wat i really feel. u guys really must see the bassoon ppl... they are very good players to me.

so i end here today. haha...

wah. everybody starts updating this blog of ours and how can i as the "laoda" of the section neglect this precious blog. haha! oke. dont ever says that you want to quit band because you cannot find this quote in the obbc-ians. true? of course.=)
oke,i shall not repeat what mother has posted the previous time. " a section where all of you can ONLY find in Bedok North" bla bla bla... sounded so naggy. haha! what can you expect from a naggy mother like anyan? hmm.but i know i cant deny that i love this section of mine to bits and pieces. no words can describe the love contributed by me to all of you. *sound like as if i'm leaving*though at time friction occurs between seniors and juniors.But i'm sure at the end of the day, what you receive is something money cant buy. right? be it bonds.
some of us needs to have morale boosting and continous encouragement but we cannot to over complacent alright.
"Be an original rather than a fake original"
i guess i shall update more pictures to make this bloggy interesting rather than words here and there. Boring uh.

All the best, obbc-ians
laoDa,Pauline

2006-11-21T23:32:00.000-08:00

as wat rafe hav said, obbc is a very young section in bn band, and its a one and only section u can find in singapore, or i can say in the universe?? hahah
a combine section like us is hard to built up, we too face alot of difficults like member wanting to quit band, ppl dun come for band practice and lalalal. but now im proud to say tat nowadays our section attendence is very good=) dun u feel proud of it obbc-ians???hahah
if im not wrong, yirong hav wrote a card for mi before saying tat in the 4 year of her life in bnss band, she is proud and glad to hav a obbc section? glad to hav mi as her junior too=p hahah
but seriouly, im very proud to be in the section, a section where we share our joy and laughter and tgt we face our difficulty(rem all the memory we created in the third floor band room?)
ever since when i enter oboe section in sec2, my life in band is getting more and more fun instead of boring. and futhermore, an obbc section hav give mi a sense of responsible in band, and i too simply cannot find any reason for not going for band, same goes for the obbc-ians right=)woohoo
yirong hav share with mi a quote which i find it quite good, it say:
"history has demonstrated that the most notable winner usually experienced heart breaking obstacles before they triumphed. they won because they refused to be discouraged by thier defeats."
so obbc-ians, contined to practice hard, and keep up the attendence now, of coz ur study too, pls study hard...all in all PLAY HARD AND STUDY HARD!!! DUN BE DISCOURAGED BY UR DEFEATS=)
for those who are going kl, including mi too, practice hard and hard=)
btw rafe and shirlene, hmm nice soli huh, keep it up
and junwei, dun be discouraged by our soli today, i noe u hav put in ur best, but one thing i dun like is u didnt count, when u didnt count, how u noe where are u, so pls count, rem wat i hav told u , if u are lost, listen for the clarinet part. must practice super duper hard. i noe we can do it. good luck good luck good luck;)
