HEY PEOPLE.

Just a few things to comment on.
just now was ATFM, we had this performance.
well, I should say, or rather, the teachers, said that it was well-done and QUITE synchronised.
okay lah you all, at least some really listened to what Pei Yin and I said to you all on Thurs training. that's good.
But some points to continue practising:
-your 'Ha's and 'weisa's are not loud enough. should learn from the guys. :)
-please be more alert and count quietly in your mind how many times you have been playing and what is the next sequence, esp. the last few parts, you all know.
-beat with more force and don't fool around. Like I said, I don't want you all to regret after any performance why we didn't do well or anything.
-please be more serious at times, must look at the circumstances when you do things. Like when we hit the drum side and signal for you all to stop, please stop doing whatever you are doing and pay attention. That's basic courtesy btw.

Ya, I suppose that's about it. I really hope to have more of this kind of performance for some really major school events and stuff. :) hope you all have enjoyed yourselves in some way. :)

Lastly, to wrap it up. This is the whole sequence. :)
ABOUT 3 minute. :)
