Some feedback for the band.
Hope this will help to improve.

  1. Trumpet section tend to rush. Please look at the conductor. your seating arrangement is not facing the conductor. You were like playing on ur own. Adjust the stand a bit higher so that you can see the conductor. ALL THESE APPLY TO EVERYBODY AS WELL.
  2. Trombone need to play a bit louder. Do not scared of playing wrong note. Play with confident.
  3. Euphonium, do not rush at B. Look at the conductor. Tap ur foot to get the beat. And dun forget to emphasize on the accent and staccato.
  4. Horn, watch your pitch. Eric you need to work on high F. do not over play. Adjust dynamic with the band and not too loud. Write on the score to remind yourself to BREATH!!!
  5. Yong Su, Pay attention to Mr Tay. Get ready = mouthpiece in your mouth 3 beats before you play. Some part ( after F ) you play too soft. I'm sitting about 3 chairs away from you hardly hear you sometime. Clarify with Mr Tay about how loud and how soft. Don't break the reed again please.
  6. To everyone, Don't forget to breath.
  7. Breath in more air support.
  8. Do not lean back on the chair. Must always sit on the edge of the chair. Have good posture. Good posture = better sound produced.
  9. BRING A PENCIL FOR EVERY PRACTISES. AND WRITE DOWN WHERE YOU SUPPOSE TO BREATH AND WHERE YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE CONDUCTOR.
  10. Percussion, don't forget this ( > ).
  11. Timpani, do not scared of having to pay for the timpani. please hit harder. it won't hurt. If you get frighten by the sound. plug something in ur ear might help.
  12. Amirah,.....pull up ur sock. you have a lot to catch up.
