change of piece. hah

Hey twumbones. Ok, as you all probably know, Our SYF song is no longer Suite on Celtic. It's MNNV. Personally, I find it a more suitable song, because our section's sound is more fit for this kind of song, rather than irish(?) songs. So, yea.

The technique part, you all still have to watch the usuals:

-tongueing - du, lu, tu.
-intonation - pls practise with a tuner where possible.
-the other usuals. You all know la, hor?

But one more thing I wanna add is:

slide movement. I noticed when you all move your slides, it's not slick enough. Pls make sure you all grease up your slides properly before practice starts, or if it's not your slide that's the problem, pls memorise your positions properly. It is vitally important you all know where to land your slide to hit the right note so we are magically in tune =)

Please practise TROMBONE BLUES more often. VITALLY IMPORTANT.


I'll be updating the blog more often now to share techniques and stuff, so please check it frequently for announcements or tips. =]


Keep on sliding,
Joolee.

oops my bad.

Morning noon and night in Vienna is NOT our SYF song thankfully.

So when we get the score for it ( i dunno how to spell it =P), must practise!!!

Thankew.

T for trombones;

hey bones. sorry been really busy lately, unable to update y'all.

Um, in case you STILL don't know,

morning, noon and night in Vienna

is our SYF song for 2007. So if you've got the spare time, please practice this song alot more than the rest.

Also, Sec 1s. Your JBF (junior band fest) is coming up on the 23th August.

Please practise your repertoire often. It's a pretty major concert.


Girls, wear track pants or suffer 20 push ups OR fine $1 - $2. Yea. That's about it.

emergency larh...

MAIN band bones...

I think we should have a section talk. Like serious. I am getting bugged. We are all like at war. They are leaving soon and i really want them to leave with wonderful memoirs of the band. And us. Yeah. Can? For everybody's sake. I fear the end is near...... Next week or something...we don't have anymore concerts except for the Junior band...SO..can.The sooner the better.

revival.

HEYYY. Sorry for not updating. Been really busy.

Anyway,

Sec 1s,

You have learnt a new song and it would be greatly appreciated if you all learn the notes and memorise the positions correctly and properly by next practice, as we will be learning a new song, Aura lee =) its a nice song.


The main bones,

Please come back for self practice often enough. Like zat said, our movement of the slide is very slow and slacky, Causing unnatural gliss. Please work on that during self prac, and also the following songs:

1) Where Eagles Soar.
2) With All Thy Might
3) Trombone blues


Please try and work on these songs WITH A METRONOME to avoid going out of pulse. Trombone blues is a last priority for now, but please find time to perfect the glisses =)

Other than that, have a great weekend and enjoy life.
