HEY EVERYONE! bet you all are suffering from err practice hangover after esperanza. GREAT JOB! think our concert was a success. it's quite ironic isn't it.. so many hours of practise for so few minutes of performance on stage. only the peformers know the hard work spent to perfect what goes on in front of the audience.

Special shotuouts to our MIs - YongChuan, Eileen and Zhuge ( whoo man he can sway like sh!t) for all the guidance towards J1s. even though we didn't really get to see j2s perform, i bet it was great too!

since a picture says a 1000 words, here are some pix! y'all post some up too ok, cos i only got some shots of the j1 girls.




Rest well, everyone!
-Kyna

J1s Dynamics

HELLO J1s!

Attached are the scores w dynamics for both pieces. I realise i dun have the 2nd page for gavotte -.- so will show u all the 2nd page during training. pls add in the necessary dynamics and get them ready during training tml. thanks.


Things to note :

1. Gavotte - bar 7 for guitar 3. that thing there is a slur. go from loud to soft.
2. Salut - guitar 2 - rmb to accent on the notes in bar 8 & bar 12.


yupp. the things are pretty self-explanatory. diff colour has been used for diff guitar parts. hmm. rmb that a phrase is essentially a cresendo + decresendo. the loudest note in the phrase has been highlighted just to serve as a guide. thanks! (: pls prac hard.

Club song

Hello. here is the club song written by zhu ge

青春的旋律

打开封锁的记忆
找到心的栖息地
放下一切的忧虑
一起继续走下去

钟声响起那瞬间
卸下疲惫的心情
携手度过快乐好时期

我们弹着生命的乐曲
奏着青春动听的旋律
哭过笑过一起写下
这美好的回忆

帘幕落下了之后
彼此羁绊依然剪不断
不要忘记那段奋斗
我的好朋友

幸福的琴音
就在这里弹下去
真挚的友情
绝不会轻易放弃

Repeat chorus+
不要忘记那段奋斗
我的好朋友 (slower)
