Hi All !!

Thanks for attending the band camp, all the practices are good !
Really appreciate your time and effort in making things in place. =)

For those who are participating in Speech Day's performance with the Main Band, please note that there will be rehearsal on the 1st July after 2pm. Do let me know your names. The main band will be playing either Centuria or Fly High.

Secondly, Concert is on the 21st August (saturday).
You should have all the scores (except for FlyHigh) already. Do let me know if you need any parts or any songs.

Lastly, Joey is introducing Guest player to fill up the spaces within us. I really really hope u guys can call as much members as possible to be back, so that we don't need half the band of Guest Players.

Thank you very much !
