hello band .
yesterday had sec 1 band practice .

clarinets - 2 players .
flutes - 2 players .
saxophone - 2 players .
french horn - 0 players.
trumpet - 2 players .
tuba - 1 player .
euphonium - 1 player .
trombone - 1 player .
percussion - 2 players .


yeah so thats all of the sec 1s that got into band .
its a small number .
but we'll try to fit in more.
so we first started with an interesting game .
and almost everybody played .
well , i could see that everyones happy and excited.
cause the game was very interesting ...
and so after that ,
mr pan came and the whole band sits in the concert plan .
then the seniors played chinese new year hits 1 .
for the juniors to hear , and know how band is actually like.

so after that .
we had to hand an instrument that they were assigned to ,
and teach them the basics of using the instrument .
then had sectionals.
the trainers had to teach the sec 1s to play twinkle twinkle little star .
well , it was hard but they were good.
and so , the whole band joined once again and played as a whole band .
and they sounded pretty good for a first time .

so , we congratulate them .
shawn gaved us 10 mins to pack up .
so seniors teach sec 1s how to keep the instrument .
and after that a slight debrief and everyone was dismissed.
it was a tiring day .

to the sec 1s.
you guys were great ! do keep up the good job ,
and i'll guarantee you will become a better player.
(:




and to ex seniors.
aww , its been long since i met you guys .
hope you guys are doing fine .
miss you all [:
