2008 Graduating Batch Farewell party

Good Afternoon,

There will be a Christmas cum Farewell party on the 26th Dec Friday frm 12pm to 6pm.
Alumnus are invited.

Do turn up if you are free.

Thank you!

AMBience VII Update

Good Morning all,

AMBience VII will be on the 29th May 2009 Friday at 7.30pm. Venue will be the Victoria Concert Hall.

As 2009 will be a SYF year for the Main Band, the conductors/teachers have decided that the emphasis of AMBience 7 will be on the Alumni Band.
This would mean that the roles between the Main Band and the Alumni Band will be switched. Alumni Band will be fully in charge of planning and organising concert, will have more pieces in concert and Main Band will be on a 'supporting role', playing 3 pieces only.

However, this will also mean that the cost of booking VCH will fall on the Alumni.
Question: Why would we want to foot this bill?
In previous AMBience concerts, the Alumni has always played a supporting role in concert but has never received any share of the revenue from concert, since the school is the one managing the funds. However, in this case where the Alumni Band will control fund management, a considerable amount of the revenue will go to Alumni Band (minus off booking fees, miscellaneous fees). We hope you realise funds are crucial to the growth and survival of the Alumni. Ultimately, we want our members not to be paying for every bill that comes along, like in AMBience 6, the paying for the video, for the ticket printing and all.


As such, we require members to come up with sums of money to help finance the current VCH booking fee (S$1800)
We advise the following:

• On personal basis, if you are able to come up with at least $50 (round numbers appreciated) and above, we appreciate that you can come forth and LOAN this money to the Alumni fund first.
• Members who are younger, can form internal groups on their own accord and come up with a sum of money, again round numbers appreciated. End day, we will pass the money back to the group leader and settle the loan internally. This is to avoid micro management of funds.
  

Important point to note: This is a Loan to the Alumni, NOT a donation. Loans which will be properly documentated and recorded, will be repaid using the revenue generated in AMBience 7.

Please inform me/Amanda/Gary if you wish to make a loan and help us gather the fund for VCH.


Thank you for reading the above.


Regards
Wenjie

Hi all,

The Performance is coming Saturday 6th Dec, at Orchid Country Club. Members are expected to come for a last rehearsal in Anderson on the day itself at 3pm (tentatively) before taking the chartered bus over to the country club.

Please try to turn up for this event! The Alumni will be paid for this event actually, so do help out! Its only a few hours of your time and the pieces are not difficult at all!

Under the flag of glory
Pomp and circumstance 1

Thank you!

Admin Post 271108

Good Evening All,

There will be an IMPORTANT alumni practice this coming Saturday 291108, 9am at Anderson.
This is for preparation for the upcoming performance (public) on the 6th Dec. Details of the performance will be furnished asap.

This is the ONLY practice before the performance, so pls be there for the 1st Alumni Practice after so long and the performance!

Dont worry about the pieces, its only 2 and they're fairly easy. Our band has played them before.

Thank you and see you there!

Regards
Wenjie

Good Evening all,

Long since the last update. Hope all those in school are mugging hard for their exams.
In any case, AMB will be having a birthday celebration for all the Nov babies in the band on 191108 Wed, at 12 noon in the canteen.

Those who are free, can go down and join them for it. After that, practice will be conducted by the main band and mr lim will be the conductor.

Have a good day (:

Hi all,

Regarding the upcoming Together Concert on Saturday, alumnus do not have to purchase tickets. This is to clarify as many enquiries have been made. However, AMB very much encourages the Alumni to purchase tickets at $2 to help the band raise funds.

Thank you and see you all there!

Admin Post 020908

Hi all,

AMB will be celebrating Teachers' Day coming Thu on the 040908 at the canteen 11am. The cost will be $5 per head.

All alumnus are invited to join in, if possible.

Thank you!

Admin Post 130808

Hi all,

Do note that there will be an AMB BBQ this coming Saturday, 160808 at pasir Ris Park pit 31 and 32.
Games will start at 2pm and BBQ starts at 4pm.

Do pop by if you are free.

See you!

Admin Post 040808

Good Day to all,

AMB will be having a BBQ for Aug babies and viv's farewell on the 16 Aug at Pasir Ris.
Do take note!

Updates on the 'Together' Concert:

1) There are issues with the level of participation that the Alumni Band can provide. Most of the key players will be involved in prep for exams or the starting of Uni.
2) Mr. yea prefers that the Alumni not be involved as the objective of the 'Together' Concert is different from that of AMBience. Emphasis should be given to that of recruits joining the Main Band, a sign of maturity and acceptance into the Main Band. Alumnus are preferred to provide logistics support instead. However, this requires further direction and clarification from Mr. lim. This would also explain why no practices are carried out yet.

Will clarify and let members know if there are practices.

Thank you!

Morning all,

There will be alumni band practice on coming saturday, 3rd May.
I believe most of the Uni people and JC people would have finished their committments and exams already. So do come for practice as Mr. Lim wishes to conduct a recording. So we really need the strength.

Also, pls do be considerate enough to let us know of your attendance, whether coming or not. Pls do not waste the efforts of my committee members who used up their time and money in smsing you or posting here. I really believe they are not obliged to do so, especially to inform one entire batch of people for EVERY SATURDAY. Pls appreciate their efforts and make this alumni band a better place for everyone.

Thank you!
Do come on time as well!

Also, below is the link for the AMBience VI Recordings:

1) Click on the link (or paste it onto the web browser)

Hi everybody, some good news to share with everyone:

1) From the principal herself: The alumni has been given the green light to collect the band room keys ourselves on saturday, as long as we give ample time and notice to the school on when we want to come back. This marks a big move ahead for us because of the trust that the school has placed in us. Furthermore, a good thing for us that the principal is supportive.

2) After the concert last friday, the main band has received a invitation by Central CDC (Community Development Council) See more abt them here. As of now, we are looking at 6 invited and paid performances in public places, including AMK Central, Toa Payoh, Far East etc.

Mr. Lim wants the alumni band to be involved and take a few of these places as well. Similarly, a good chance to expose our band and raise our publicity. Will spread more details of these soon, after we confirm!

---back to routine info---

There will be an alumni practice on coming saturday, 120408 at 9am.

The alumni band will be running through some pieces and will do the audio recording if we clear these pieces. Please come! =)

Also, michelle has lost a silver-coloured tie during the concert. If anybody has seen an extra one lying around when we were clearing up in VCH, and helped bring it back to school, kindly let her know!

Thank you!

Reason for our love - The AMB FAMILY!

Credits AMBience VI

Relieved or not, AMBience VI is finally over.

Thank you everyone for helping, must admit i yelled quite a bit. Hehs.
But overall, everyone really coordinated well, adjusting to changes here and there.

If not.. i really must say a big thank you to our very own performers, non-performing helpers, main band, junior band, conductors, teachers-in-charge, gary's cousin, luheng the videographer, audience and everybody else whom i've missed out.


Wait for the videos!!!! Have a good rest! =)

Gosh, its after twelve... So its one more day to concert.

Have this msg to the exco:
I know it's been hard for us these few days. Having mutual updating sessions, last minute changes, meetings, coordinating and confirmation.
It's really not easy i know.
But seeing how everyone is concerned about this concert, and wanting to make it the best.. I'm sure its all worthwhile.

So most impt thing now, is.. DONT GAN CHIONG.
As of last Friday, everything that can be desseminated down, job allocation and anything that can be done/thought of has been done/thought of.
Let's just do it to our best.

Really appreciate everyone's help.

For performers not in exco, the least you can help too is to turn up asap on friday, bringing all your tix studs, money and $4 for the video thingy.

Let's all look forward to this concert which i believe its going to be a good one..

Good night. =)

4 days to AMBience VI

Hi all, may not seem much to everybody but but but its 4 days to concert. Let's all look forward to it!!

And to all the leaders/exco members who have been stressed every single day of this week since last week, rushing out namelists, program booklets, ticket collecting, setting timings, doing last minute preparation work...esp amanda and sikai! who have been squeezed badly by me..

Here to say a big thank you to u all! =)
Really quite happy to see everybody working together, with the main band as well! Feels like a big family. Ha..

In any case, on concert day, there will be a videographer and photographers around. So for the hire of these services, we regret to say that we need to collect another $4 for this.

Its amb and our first time at VCH, hope to have this memory recorded down as well.

Thank you everybody!

5 more days to concert!

5 more days to concert!

Admin Post 090308

Hi all, as of yesterday, we have discussed the following issues:

1. Monday 100308

• There will be a music exchange with several primary schools, hosted by our main band. There is a request here for those who can make it to help out. Meeting time will be at 1300hrs, in Anderson Sec.

2. Alumni Band practice 130308

• The main band will be having their band camp in preparation for the concert. The camp is on the 13th Mar, Thursday and ends on the 14th Mar, Friday. 2D/1N.
• There will be a combined practice for the alumni on the night of 13th Mar, at 7pm. Please try your very best to turn up as this will be one of the rare chances that we'll get to practise with the main band for our piece 'Tomorrow'.
• A sms will be sent reminding u on tue or wed again. Please do not be late.

3. QM Matters

• Any accessories that u all need, pls contact Craig. So that we can make an inventory of items to bring. For e.g. reeds and TUNERS! if u intend to tune using your ears. lol

4. Ticketing Matters

• As polled, please ensure you sell the number of tickets that you have given us. This to ensure the number of tickets that the alumni is confident is selling. I know its hard so we'll just have to try harder =)

Please listen to the recording of Jap Graf 9 by yuhua alumni below. I took some time to do this so pls pls the least everybody can do is to look through at least once:

There are both good and bad points in this recording. Learn from others' mistakes/good points and do our best in improving.

One main prob of the band now: Tuning.

Once u know u are out of tune or your friend is VERY out of tune, pls at least bother to tell them or solve the problem. Dont say you don't know whether you are flat or sharp. If you really duno, just try both and see which one is correct la! haha...

Because there will surely be some parts that are more prone to intonation probs, solve them NOW when u still can. And if people tell you you're of tune or whatever, just take it positively. After all, everyone wants the best for the performance. IF it is the instrument's prob, tell us! tell the QM! tell the exco! So that whatever can be done, CAN be done. Dont wait anymore, its the last 2+ weeks already!!!

But in any case, thanks everybody for the hard work. =)

Regards, Wenjie

Admin Post 020308

Hi all,
As everybody would have heard, we sounded much better after changing the seating arrangement yesterday. =) Hopefully, everything will work out.
In any case, continue to push for the tickets!! Please please take some responsibility over own concert.


ANYWAY, as some of you all would have noticed, me and some members of the alumni exco have added *AMBience*VI* in front of our msn nicks! Pls join in to promote our concert! =)

Tomorrow

Listen to this! Better understanding of our piece..

Admin Post 240208

Hi all,

Have few things to be discussed here. Gg to be a long post... Pls ensure u read through! =)

1) Seating Arrangement of the Band
As all those who turned up for yesterday's practice, the balance of the band was damn off. As in most of the sound was just very noisy. This was due to mainly two reasons:

• Blasting was carried out by most of us, forgetting balance. Must understand that we need to play soft first, get the balance right, listen to each other.. AND NOT to ensure that you stand out and can be heard! Balance doesnt work that way! Listen downwards, get the tuning balance correct and work within your limits. Dont just blast when the music gets dramatic! Let's work on this.


• Seating Arrangement. This has been neglected for sometime and i must apologise for this. Reason for this: I actually hoped to get the more confirmed list of players before doing the seating out. In any case, i have come up with the following, subject to changes after i hear the sound on coming saturday again.

-Click to enlarge-

*Comments are very appreciated!

2) QM Matters

• As of next week, I need to get the list of instruments that u all are using. And whether there is a main band user for it. The rationale: Most of us will be meeting at VCH on the concert day itself. Thus, if the instrument that you are using does not have a main band user, we need to bring the instrument ourselves, because main band wouldnt know you were using this instrument that they DIDNT USE.
• As mentioned, i will be printing out a list of instruments for every section. So that next week when you draw your instrument from the store, you will fill up the instrument u are using accordingly.

3) Concert Attire

For males:

• Black black long sleeve, either silver tie (more professional cause its at VCH) or colourful ties (if we were to go more informal)

For females:

• Choice 1: Black pants, black long sleeves/ 3/4 sleeves + scarf on neck
• Choice 2: Black pants, black long sleeves/ 3/4 sleeves + individual section identity (eg, headband, scarf n other accessories)
• Choice 3: Same as guys, black black long sleeve/ 3/4 sleeves +either silver tie (more professional cause its at VCH) or colourful ties (if we were to go more informal)

Pls vote accordingly! This issue will be under Amanda's concern.

4) Ticketing

Please please please push for the ticket sales. 1+ month to concert only! As mentioned before, everybody is encouraged to make use of the official advert that is the top most post in this blog. After all, that was the objective of it. For easy posting, convenience to details and all. If you have friends in other bands, pls post it there as well!

5) Practice on 1st March 2008

The next practice is on the 1st Mar. For woodwinds, pls come at 9am sharp for sectionals! For brasses, pls come at 10am. But brasses are encouraged to come too at 9am. Esp the weaker sections that need practice. Wont mention which haha. =P

Thank you for reading

Regards, Wenjie

Admin Post 200208

Haha, it gets rather irritating when you blog about the same old stuff every wednesday.

ANYWAY. The next prac will be on the 23rd Feb 08. Happens to be the 10th alumni prac we are having. Not much time left so pls pls pls turn up.
Time and venue remains the same.

And yes, we will need more alto sax, trumpet and percussion players to turn up. Get more alumnus pls. Don't ask me how haha, u all should know your own section members better than me! Ask them back pls! Trust me, it can be done.

Best of luck

Ticket Info! IMPT

Repeat of the mail sent out, sorry!There is no perforating of the concert ticket, so pls tear neatly or cut. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Things to take note:
Because this year the concert is at VCH, the rules and regulations state that ALL ticket studs will need to be sent to VCH manpower for checking within 7 days of the concert. This includes the audited statement and accounts. This will affect on the amount to be paid for rental of the concert hall. So pls pls pls take care of the tickets! Thank you very much!
