Dear alumnae,

Firstly, a heartfelt THANK YOU to every single of you for your undying dedication, love and support throughout the rehearsals. It was my honour to be able to serve you as the president of St. Marg’s Winds. You girls are amazing! Committee members and level reps, thanks so so much for dissembling messages down to everyone. Wanda, my dearest secretary, I couldn’t have done it without you! Hazel Hong, my dear Vice-Pres, your encouragement really pushed me on even when I was on the verge of giving up. Everyone of you played an important role in making this concert an absolute success. 3 cheers for everyone! :)

 Alright, now that I’m done with the “thank you”s, let me say a few things..

1. It’s undeniable– We played well. :)
2. I’ve received a lot of positive comments regarding our playing (We shan’t name names here…)
3. I’m intending to write in to SMESA for funding and support. (Help & suggestions needed)
4. I think we might just be ready to have our own band concert next year. What do you think? (pls leave comments)
5. I TOTALLY enjoyed the music-making experience last evening. Seriously speaking, it’s one of my best. It was really tight. It may not be technically perfect, but who cares? Elizabeth Green did say that “Music lives when notes fly off the page and soar into glorious sounds” right? :) Our rendition of The Merry Widow was pretty. Those full long chords got my GPI (goose-pimple index) flying to the celling. Woohoo!~ :)

I hope the concert’s been a memorable one for you, as it has been for me. Remember to keep your photos & videos coming in so we can compile everything. Jannah’s suggesting we set a date to meet & watch our performance on video together. It can be our ‘post concert celebration’ too. Any volunteers to plan?

I’ll leave you ladies to savour the remains of that nostalgic feeling from last evening.. Aww.. don’t you just wish it’s not over yet?
Cheers ladies, we did well. We ALL did. :)

As the late Mrs Lee would have said, “Let all Glory be to God”.
Let’s move on from this and do greater works! I’m all excited already. :)

Bandgals, Margtians, St. Marg’s!

From yours truly,
Shu Feng
(that skinny woman who has been nagging since day 1)

Hey ladies, I thought that our performance wasn’t too bad at all considering our strength and the fact that some of us haven’t touched our instruments in quite a while. Well done everyone! :D I guess I will leave all these to our President, Shu Feng! I belive she has more to say to everyone of us. :D

Getting to the main point of the entry, I’ll be collecting the pictures that were taken during POLKA! IV from as many people as I can to add to our gallery collection. No worries about you camwhoring and what not, as long as it’s with our beloved band mates (main band or alumni) just send them to me! I’ll be uploading them into a single album as soon as I receive them. Irrelavent (e.g non-SMSB/SMW band members/band related) or blurred pictures will not be added into our collection, other than that everything else would be in!

Please help to contribute by emailing the pictures to me at stmargs.winds@gmail.com, or send them to me if you see me on MSN. (Email the above address if you want my MSN address.) It’s okay to attach the pictures if you are only submitting one or two. If it’s more than 5 pictures, kindly zip them up. It’d aid greatly!

Thank you Lovelies! I hope you all had a great night like I do. (:

P.S: The email address printed on the program booklet is wrong. Our email address is stmargs.winds@gmail.com, not stmargaretswinds@gmail.com. And do keep a lookout at this area often, I’ll be updating when I’ve got the videos and pictures ready. (:

As Mr Tan said earlier during practice today, the reporting time on the actual day itself has been changed to 1600hours instead of 1500hours as mentioned earlier. And if you have not told Shufeng whether you want to have any special orders (vegetarian/halal) for the food, the original menu will be prepared for you.

 I guess that’s all for now. Do be punctual for the next band practice, at 1900hours, same venue. Let’s not disappoint Mr Tan alright? (:
