*Wiping the thick layers of dust on this blog*
Someone please do something to this blog okay?!

Hey, as all of your know, Aesthetic Night will be in June, and if you're thinking that, "June what! Still got lots of time! I can skip a few practices." Hahah, you're WRONG! Because when you realise it, it's only a few practice away.

Then after that will be GIOVIALITA II which all the alumni and seniors who have been waiting.
Giovialita 1 is a magical night and of course Giovialita 2 will also be one!

So hurry now! And start to practice!
I'm already starting to pick back my skill after for not playing the Trombone for months! So, what are you waiting for NOW?!!!!

I LOVE YOUR!
With lots of LOVESS, SHIRLY.

Trombonists of 2009's SYF with Mr Andy Sim.

SYF is finally over.
We missed 2007's Gold by 0.3marks and also missed 2009's Gold.

Quote from Alan: "In my heart, WGSSB will always be a gold band!"
Yes, in the eyes of all alumni, WGSSB will always be a GOLD BAND. (:

Don't be sad anymore, we still have long way to go. We still have many SYFs. (:

Although the result was not what we wanted, but we MUST have positive mindset!
Remember! *Positive Mindset*!
At least, we maintain the medal. We didn't drop to Bronze / COP.
Right?

Secondary 1s, 2s and 3NAs: Do us proud in the next SYF in 2011 okay?

********************

Tomorrow will be the last practice for all our Secondary 4s & 5s, so I sincerely hope that all the Secondary 1s to 3s will turn up for tomorrow practice.
Attire for tomorrow: Band tee.
Fall in at: 2.45pm sharp!

And also, Saturday will the Passing-Out-Parade(POP) for our Graduating batch.
It'll be start at 9am if I'm not wrong.
