Favourite 'place' with the favourite people

I do miss taking off my shoes every Monday and Friday; entering the music room, setting up our instruments, making music with all of you.

2010 - 2011 has been a challenging year for us. Though we have faced many rocks in the race, we have overcomed them together, laughed together, cried together. Without unity, we will not be able to finish every lap of the race. Remember, band is never a one man's efforts.

Thank you for all the efforts you guys have put in for yesterday's investiture. :) Didn't know that we have got MJ & JB in band! Any girl singers? Haha.

Congrats to the new committee members! :) Work well together!

On the lighter note, prac hard for your upcoming performance babies! ;)

Love you all, dear oranges!

Love, Jiahui.

This is us, for 2011 SYF. 2011 SYF is definitely not an easy journey, but I'm so proud to say, we have persevered till the end. =) Like what Sir Badrul has said today, " Its like learning how to ride a bike. We'll fall, but we have to learn how to get up. "

I'm so glad to see individual of you has grown so much, how much effort you guys had put in, how this SYF helped to pull us together.

2011 SYF has been a part of my memories of friendship. =) Thank you for the bittersweet memories. Will miss you guys a lot!

We've won the battle, as a family! =)

Stand firm together for every obstacles!

Thank you for playing a part in this journey. Keep in mind, band is never a one man's effort. Love you all! =)

Jiahui.

"Unity to be real must stand the severest strain without breaking."

~ Mahatma Gandhi

6th April 2011

2011-04-01T19:08:00.012+08:00

Remember this photo? The tears of joy and hard work behind it? The one which we took on 6th April 2009. On the very same date of 2011, we'll be having our SYF. What kind of photo would we be taking on 6th April 2011? It all lies on us.

5 days later, we'll be in this stage... I'm sure every one of you would want to be part of this battle. Overcome the temptation this weekends, don't let the devil win over you. Endure for this weekends. Take good care of yourself!

Your presence for the last 2 prac is very important! Drink more water, eat more fruits. Don't fall ill at this time!

Hang in there for one more week!!! Do remember what sirs have said. Do not let the effort go down to the drain.

IMPORTANT

Be consistent!

F.O.C.U.S

Listen!

Sir Badrul has been emphasizing on these every prac. We've got only 15 minutes of fame and it'll determine our 2 years of glory. Put in your 101%!

Remember, we are ONE BAND, ONE SOUND, ONE FAMILY! We need to think as one, work as one! Only with unity, we can win this battle! =)

Let our 2011 SYF be a part of our memories of friendship.

6 more hours!!!

2010-11-30T11:41:00.006+08:00

GREAT JOB for the performance in Genting! =) Really proud of you, oranges! I'm sure you've learnt a lot from the trip, be it as an individual or as a section -- APPLY THEM! Each section has got your own parts to work on.

Remember, at the end of the day, we play music as a band. We go up
to the stage as a band. The audience listen to us as a band. The judges judge us
as a band. If one of the sections do not improve, it will pull the band down.

You would want to experience the thrill of victory again for SYF, don't you? The screaming, shouting, cheers, hugs, tears all that we had in Genting. It all lies in our hands. Do not be complacent with what we've achieved. There are rooms for improvements.

On the lighter note, please work on our choice & set piece during the break! By working on your own parts, it will help to lessen the amount of work we need to do when we resume our practices. Do drink more water & take good care of yourself! Many of you are starting to fall ill.. Lastly, if you haven't touch your homework, its time to start! :P Enjoy your break, see you on 16th dec! =)

2010-10-31T20:34:00.002+08:00

How many days do we left till Genting trip? 22 days! Are you ready for it? You should know it well enough after what Sir said the last practice. NO TIME TO WASTE. Remember the purpose of this trip?

On the side note, the band schedule on the blog has been updated! Fall in @ 945 on tuesday in orange tee! Take good care of yourself this holidays, we can't afford anyone to be ill this holidays with the number of practices we have. See you! =)

Jiahui.

2010-09-06T10:03:00.002+08:00

Hello oranges! How's holidays so far? Been going out or staying at home? Well, if you haven't touch your beloved instrument, better do it!!! We do not have any practices this holidays, therefore manage your time well between practising and studying.

Remember to complete your holiday homework too! Enjoy your holidays! Don't fall ill, drink more water, eat more apples. ;-)

Love, Jiahui.

2010-09-01T13:04:00.003+08:00

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY! =)

We love you sirs and teachers. Hehe. Its all inside the cards that we've gave you. Thank you for all the sacrifices that you've made. =)

Enjoy your break lovelies! F O C U S. We have a performance coming up. You know it very well what is our standard now. Sense of urgency.

Jiahui.

2010-08-03T17:02:00.006+08:00

Hiiiiiiiiii all! Those who have brought your instruments & files home, do prac & read thru! Genting trip is round the corner. F.O.C.U.S. No more fooling around.

LISTEN MORE! Time to play, we play. Time to be serious, better be.

On the side note, enjoy your holidays! :) Do not fall sick. Take care. :) Remember to have a heavy breakfast before coming to school next friday. Cya!

Love, Jiahui.

Some pics which i took during the Apex Flagday.
A few of our members have wrote reflections to share about their experiences.

Through this second flag day, I realized that when you want something, you have to step forward and ask for it.
Not many people will automatically come to you and drop some coins into your tin.
By asking, you will have a better chance to raise more money rather than just standing there.
I also noticed that the older generation are also much more generous than the younger ones, they gave with an open heart.
Evon

I am happy that I can be involved for this flag day because it is a very meaningful thing to do,
which is something that we can’t learn in class.
I can help the elderly by donating money and using my time to go places to ask people for their donation.
And I had a lot of fun and enjoyed myself during this flag day.
Lin Min

Although is very tiring but I find that it was better than the previous flag day which is more
interesting and fun.
There are quite a lot of problems, for example we got to ask people for donation and some even ended up walking off without saying anything.
However, overall I had gained some experience from it.
Emily

I enjoyed myself a lot during this flag day than the previous one.
Maybe because we know where are the places that people will donate more :D
which came from our experience from the previous flag day.
Without experience, we will just stand at a corner waiting for people to come forward which is a waste of time as only a small people will offer their donation.
We won’t dare to open up our mouths to ask people for donation.
Mostly were the older people and some kids who came forward.
I love seeing kids coming forward to me as they were very cute which made me so happy and brightened up my day.
I have learnt that we must be polite to people whether will they donate or not we have to thank them.
At first is hard to come out from my mouth as I felt so shy but soon when I got used to it, I slowly stepped forward to people to ask them for donation and thank them.
Beside that, we also meet quite a number of interesting and funny people. Hahas!
Although is it a 8 hours of CIP, but we had fun and enjoyed ourselves.
I liked our organizer as he was friendly.
A BIG THANK YOU TO THE ORGANISER & OUR TEACHERS.

Hey Band, this is the asst drum major.
Well, this is my first time updating this blog with reflection.
Okay, here goes :
What's my feeling for getting the post, well, I'm happy and I want to thank sir and teachers for giving me this opportunity to get hold of this post. And I also want to thank many for for congratulating me after I get my post. And I will take care of the band members and will do my job as a asst drum major, to serve the band with honor and with pride:)
(:ONE BAND ONE SOUND ONE FAMILY :)

Asst Drum Major-Guo Quan

2010-06-20T14:03:00.002+08:00

To me, a band is a family; a body. If a body miss out any of the organs, it won’t be able to function as well as before. Likewise for us, to move a step closer to our goals it is not a one man’s effort. Though there are times things might not go the way as we want, but if we work together as a family, nothing is impossible. We will be able to overcome all obstacles. :) There will be many differences and flaws the majors will have, but I am sure we be able to work things out.

Last but not least, thank you for giving me this opportunity to take up this big post. I will put in my best to lead the band well.

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless
failure may turn to glorious success.

- Elbert Hubbard

ONE BAND, ONE SOUND, ONE FAMILY.
Band Major, Jiahui.

Drum major here:)

Well I would like to thank sir and teachers for believing in me and handing this post which it has huge responsibility in.

Well I an honoured to hold this post in the band and at the same time I'm very excited to work together with hsscb. I will do my best of my abilities to bring this band to greater heights. And of course, the members have to be ready to walk this journey with me and the 4 other majors in order to achieve our goal for hsscb.

With that, I wanna thank all my seniors, sirs and teachers for the awesome guide. And to my juniors and my fellow sec3 hsscb mates, let's all work towards our band motto: One Band. One Sound, One family<3

2010-06-20T00:05:00.000+08:00

HELLO((:
Currently Yanting is updating the blog now.

Being one of the majors is tough, however the 4 of us (majors) will bring the band strive to a greater heights.

Specially thanks:
-Sir Badrul & Sir Faizal
-Teachers-in-charge
-Previous Majors [2009-2010]
-Alumni
Thanks for all the joy and the things you have taught us. Without you, there won't be us. Don't worry, the band tradition will be carried down. [:

MY THOUGHT
Being a Major won't be a easy job without the whole band members' support.
I hope you guys will co-operate and show respect to the speaker, be it sirs, the teachers or even our own members.
Although it will feel stressful holding a post, regardless of the rank, I hope to see the whole band working together towards our goals.
All of you play a part in the band, not only you play an instrument, but because you are A PART OF THE FAMILY. :)

Ass Band Major, Yanting

Last Saturday, 12 June 2010, some of our sec 2s and 3s members went for flag day. ( Singapore Heart Foundation ) As such, a few of them have wrote reflections to share about their experiences.

This is my first time doing flag day, it has been fun for me because I get to experience things such as asking people for donation for Singapore Heart Foundation. Though there were difficulties raising fund as there were many other schools students doing at the same time, but I have learnt that in order to raise as much money as we can, we need to have patience and teamwork to overcome all odds.

- Chua Xintian, 3N2

Through this flag day, I realized that the younger people of our society were not as generous as the older people who donate even though they are not wealthy. They lacked a heart of love. However, we should learn from the elderly and give our best to help the needys. Other than that, I have also learnt that it was not easy to collect money from people as you have to keep walking, asking around and people just ignored you treating like nothing had happened -- the realistic world.

- Sapol Leong, 2E1

It was my first time doing a flag day. It was boring after some time standing at the same location asking people for donation. Flag day was fun and at the same time it was tiring. It was pretty diffcult to ask for donation as there were many students doing at the same lane, thus we have to change our venue. The feeling of people treating you as transparent ain't good at all. Nevertheless, this experience taught me that we have to stay calm and keep our smile at all time.

- Edmund Fong, 2E3

2010-06-17T11:24:00.002+08:00

Hey Oranges:) Elizabeth is here to update.

well, since this is my very first time posting on this blog, i would firstly like to thank all the teachers who was there to make us who we are today. i would also like to thank Sir Badrul and Sir Faizal who was always there when we needed help and guidance on our pieces. Not forgetting each and every HSSCB seniors, including our alumni who came back to support us in our practices.

Secondly, i would like to congrat every sec 2 and 3 who have been promoted to a post. i hope that we will use the values that we have learnt in band to help our juniors through their band life as how our seniors have helped us.

To the 2009-2010 majors, thank you so much for everything that you have done to push the band to greater heights. And to 2010-2011 majors, Let's all work together with the band to achieve even better results than the past syf. :D

ill upload some snap shots on investiure day soon so stay tuned:D

Here are some testimonials on the 35th anniversary by our members (:

" This is my first time performing on the Esplanade Concert Hall and I feel that the concert was great. This is my first experience playing a solo in a big hall like this, I felt scared and nervous at first but after that, I felt satisfied and happy. At the same time, I enjoyed myself there. This experience had made me more confident than before. "

- Leong Jun Lin 3E3

" 35th Anniversary Concert was the first ever concert I performed in, therefore naturally I felt nervous. However, at the same time, we all had fun and we shined on stage. It was a wonderful experience that not many will have a chance to do so, hence we should always remember that it was the sirs and teachers who made all these possible for us. "

- Ng Wen Hui 2E2

" As a sec 1 band member, I felt very nervous performing with the band for the first time. After so much practices for the concert , our hardwork has really paid off. The performance was a great experience for all of us, it made us realised lots of things eg. how important discipline is and teamwork. I will never regret joining the band as it is such an awesome cca. "

- Evon Tham 1E1

On behalf of the band,

Michelle (:

the teachers-in-charge will be selling the tickets for the end of year concert in Esplanade.
each ticket costs $10, and each band member is entitled to buy only 2 tickets.

we are telling you these information on the band t-shirt and the tickets is because we couldnt have any gatherings, thus it's difficult to pass the message out to you all.
also, we're telling you in advance so you guys can start saving money now (:
members, please spread these information around okay!

we majors also do hope that most of you can bring home your instruments to practice, or even JUST YOUR FILE to familarize yourself with the pieces that we're going to play.

& remember to bring your thermometer everyday (:

Band Oversea Trip

2008-10-17T12:18:00.004+08:00

Hi ALL Alumni,

This is a good news to all of you. Finally, after 10 years of under the baton of Mr Badrul and Mr Faizal, the band is finally FLYING somewhere OUT of singapore.

The band will be flying to Hong Kong from 9th november 2008 to 13 november 2008. They will be performing in Hong Kong Disneyland with pieces like Selections from All Shook Up, Disney Blockbusters, Play That Funky Music and many more.

The details of their flight are as followed:
Departure: 9 Nov 1.30pm, Arrival: 13 Nov 4.30pm,

If you can, do go down to the newly painted and "renovated" band room and support the band!

FYI, the band is only sending the CORE group (ahem..finally we got core and non-core group as the band is too big). Hence, it would only be around 50 members or so.

If you want know about the practices day and timing, you can either contact any present members who are going for the HK trip (if you know) or contact Mr Badrul. Your encouragements will be very useful for the members.

Hope to see you around!

with loves, Henderson Band
