yup indeed you guys sounded much better today practice 24th march 2009.
Thursday is the 2nd last practice, please try much harder to listen hard , communicate the emotion and direction of the music....start the band practice on time...If we can't perfect the technical aspect we must at least make the music sounds alive and beautiful so you don't bored the listeners.

Next practice try to pay attention to the running passage in both pieces...need to be neater than that to do well for SYF. The trumpet, clarinet and flute running notes.

Dynamic contrast and tempo flow can be better.Continue to watch the conductor and listen to percussion(marcus and guo en).Mark down the volume 1,2,3 or 4...in ur score.

The slower section in Jubiloso a bit too slow...if over 8mins marks will be deducted.2nd flute can cut down to 2 players in the slow section ...balance n intonation off.. help to time it on Thursday.

Overall good effort. keep it up the fighting spirit and of cos the joy to express the music in order to do well.Nervous don't help.But will- power can overcome many fears.

Diana...i told you to do some with the music scores you forgot...try to do it by sat.Thanks!
