As you all know school holidays have just started so we'll put more sectionals every Wednesdays and Fridays. As for this week, instead of Wednesday we push to Tuesday which is TOMORROW due to the facilities of being used by another group. Section Leaders please do take note seriously. Keep on beeping them! Those without a valid reason do get in touch with the Band Leaders. This is very important as what Mr Eric says LEAN on them.
Band Camp will be officially an overnight camp IF more than 70% attends for it. If not we'll stick to the day camp. I do hope everyone would consider this, its all about you bandsmen, I do still think day camp is such a big mess. Do consider about your travel expenses, dinner etc etc. Plus those who live from one corner of the island.

Let's aim for it as one band. As the saying goes individual unique together completes. All the best!
