PPL WHO ARE WARY THAT THEY HAVE NOT GIVEN BACK THE BAND UNIFORM PLS DO SO ASAP
This is especially for the graduating batch
A number of the graduating batch HAVE NOT given back their band uniform
So do return your band uniform........................... TT
This is so. Because.... There is a possibility that there is not enough blazers AND skirts for the junior band
AND to ensure the next uniform masters-in-line have no trouble with the counting of the uniforms . (well. mostly.)
PEOPLE PLS RETURN YOUR BAND UNIFORM!!!!!!!@@@@@@@@@@

For the back, I don't really know what to draw. Cos this band tee is meant for multi purposes so it can't be too fanciful as we'll be using it for other occasions. So I just random something to do with music, with a drumset. The words written on the "music lines" are," ONCE A MUSICIAN, ALWAYS A MUSICIAN." The words are a lil too cramped together cos i didn't have enuff space. -.- If you'd like, You can change off this quote to something nicer? About the "YSSB with wings thingy" It kinda represents YSSB soaring as One... Also another random stuff I came out with.... Any suggestions?
Feel free to do so, thanks!Tuesday, June 2, 2009

sorry im one day late of posting this.. yesterday was just too tired.
anyways to the band...
its really been a great journey working with you all as one band. from the disciplinary action that we,the leaders,did, you all have shown us changes that we didnt expect it to be.. we all have put our great effort and hardwork throughout this competition. i know we couldnt achieve what we aim for but we should be proud that we maintain our reputation.do not blame urself..each and every one if us did mistake same goes to me too..but we all have to appreciate this. as a sec4e student, i felt blessed that i had the chance to compete this syf together with the band again yesterday. but yeah thats our last competition together. i just love this band and really proud to say im one of yishun secondary band member. thank you band for this achievement. a small band but strong bonds and friendship.its been great working with shawn and nic too. i will definitely miss that 'tong sampah'.haha
to mstan,
thank you for evrything u did. staying back with us till night although ur tummy is growing bigger. but from your effort, you've made me a leader and taught me to work maturedly.thank you for that.. do take care and we,shawn,nic and i will try our best to help the upcoming leaders,mdm chew and mrs lee.
to mr ong and mr pan..
our dear conductors have work as hard as us to lead our band and made us achieve what we have today.. we realy appreciate your great effort.motivational words and everthing that you did. you did so much things to fight for the band's right. thank you and we will come back..
to ex-cniors
esp to sufian and hafiz who never fails to come back...
thank you for spending ur time to help us out and giving comments that will even make us work harder to improve. its glad to see that u sacrifices ur free time. so to evryone. through supportive words or anything...thank you once again.
thanx to mr lawrence tan too for still remembering us and supporting us.
congrats again band!
there was only one thing that was in my mind before playing that 'part'
as what was told from mr pan. 'WE HAVE FAITH IN YOU.THE BAND WANTS YOU TO PLAY'
=)
You have done well....
It may be a bronze but i feel that you have done well already...
When i first signed you up for SYF, i am so afraid that we may not get anything but yesterday you have shown me that you have maintained the standard..
Great Job and Great Effort..
I saw all the effort that you people have put in, staying back till 8pm to practice. I understand these few weeks have been tough on all of you but you all din give up. Thanks for putting in your effort...
Your two instructors have also been working very hard.. Do thank them for the time they have spent with you and work with you....
I would like to thank all the alumni who come and support the band... Your support means alot to your juniors.
Thanks Hafiz and Sufian who are here most of the practice to help the kids out. Really a big thank you cos if you people are around, i worry less....
Not forgetting the 3 leaders, Nicola, Haziqah and Shawn.. Thank you for leading and taking care of your band.. You have done well as a leader... Keep it up! I understand that it's not easy to work under me cos will get scolding and i got alot of demand but i see that you all did not disapoint me. :) carry this confidence and leadership with you, you will go far...
The sec 4 and 5 also, i see all of you grow and saw the effort that you have put in for all the events and competitions. Keep it up! Don feel disappointed with what you have yesterday... You all have alreadi done your best and you have alreadi done well....
I may not be able to see all of you pass down on Speech Day as it is getting nearer and nearer to my delivery date but if i can make it, i will come and see u graduate from the band. All the best for your N and O level exam... Put in your best effort for ur national exam... I also wan to see that all of you do well to continue your further studies...
Sec 2 and Sec 3, now the seniors are going off soon. the band will depend on you. The sec 1 batch is big this year, our key focus will be to make them like band (become our big family) and also to learn all the skills to play the instruments well.... We have to work hard towards to 2011 SYF...now with a bigger number of members, we have to work hard and try to aim a silver in 2011.. So lets try our best to maintain this group of members, recruit about 30 members every year so that our strength will be big... train the juniors well...
I believe that the sec 2 and 3 can definitely do it ......
when i am not around for those months, the sec 3 leaders you will have to put in effort and hold the band together.. work with Mr Pan, Mr Ong, Mdm Chew and Mrs Lee.. I wan to see that the band will be stronger and more matured when i come back from my maternity leave... I believe that you all can do it...
Lastly, Darlings, you have done Yishun Sec proud... Continue to work hard....
this are the pics! if you want them...get em from me or something. fyi. this is shid/shiddy/saiyidah/whatever. kkbai.
congrats once again! damn. wish i was part of the current band. pfft. i need more cincau sessions with you bandees. xD
so to save the pics, click to enlarge and save. yes, its a big picture. for those with pictures to contribute, please do so and keep this blog alive. i think now must make every section blog abt something. hmmm....

SYF is NEARING! Let's work even harder next week! Prove it to people we can do it.
Besides, Jess is just trying to demoralise us. Whoever she is,whatever she is up to, I don't give a faeces about it. Let people say whatever they one. It all boils down to their stinking attitude. Or shall I say, Kid whose parents doesn't teach? Don't let awful comments bring us down!
During the last week before SYF, Hope you guys can listen to instructions and do what we tell you to do. Be more aware and focus! We(leaders) will try not to drill you guys, but you guys have a part to play. Do what you're supposed to!
Just a reminder, get all your essential stuff like your band uniform ready. On that day itself, please do not bring phone and watches (or any electric devices) to the conference hall. I'm sorry but you have to abide to this.
Check that all your instruments are in working condition. Woodwind section please prepare1 or 2 extra reeds and bring it with you during SYF day. Just incase your reed breaks or chip off. Percussion section, make sure whatever you bring there will be back in place when we are back in school.
Next week, please turn up for ALL practices. Try not to be late. Cuz I hate later comers who comes late and with invalid reasons! Be punctual!
That's all. Counting to SYF! All the best guys!

Hello!
"YSSB got bronze in 2007 BUT RETURN TO IT'S HISTORY IN 2009! That's a joke man."
Not only it will humiliate the school, think about yourself, especially those current sec4E5N (you should know me =D), don't you want to get something out when you graduate from the school? Keep it in your mind, only the people who works hard get paid hard.
And Ms Tan, Conductors, and ex-seniors had always been there for you, don't ever take it granted, there is no such things as take it for granted, whatever you take, you must return it beautifully (Current situation means results). Therefore, please continue striving for the best.
To add on to what Sayidah had said:
are you guys gonna fall back to square 1? are you guys gonna keep doing that? attendance wise, ultimately. are you guys gonna recruit maaaaany manny juniors? are you guys gonna do well for SYF? are you guys gonna make the school proud? are you guys gonna have a good CNY/Speech Day performance? are you guys gonna make things hard for Ms Tan and the instructors, Mr Pan and Mr Ong? are you guys gonna stick as a band no matter what?
Are you guys going to make yourself proud and make your seniors and ex-seniors proud?
Yssband
