Here is just a summary of what we addressed you at yesterday's practice:
1. Please take practices / PT seriously. No monkey-ing about at all times.
PT is a time where things MUST be taken seriously. Nothing is funny, and we are not joking with you. If we were, it wouldn't be called "PT". It will be called clowning. Also, we don't want to have to keep resorting to raise our voices at you to settle down all the time during practices. It'll only make both parties unhappy with each other.
Remember: An ensemble is made up of Guitar Players, not clowns. An Ensemble made up of clowns and monkeys is not an ensemble; it's a circus.
2. Respect your fellow teachers, seniors and your friends.
Do not mock at anyone or spread false rumors about people. This includes showing / speaking vulgarity. Disciplinary action will be taken against those who continue doing so, as this is hurting your friends / seniors / teachers.
3. Bring your tuners for ALL practices.
Since we have limited tuners and there are so many of you, bring your own tuners to save time and share it amongst your fellow guitar friends. We will continue taking out the tuners from the cupboards but this does not mean you do not bring your own tuner if you have one.

Okay, that's roughly what we wanted to emphasise on yesterday. Please apply it and take things seriously. I am still waiting for Sir to send me the Skaters' Waltz MIDI file so I can upload it for you guys to download and practice. Be patient and in the mean time, practice your parts if you have the time yeah.
Next practice will be on Tuesday, 4th August at 2.30 pm - CPA3/4. As the H1N1 ban is already lifted, Assemblies will resume as per normal starting next week onwards. So if there is an assembly for either Lower / Upper sec, practice will start at 3 pm. Final details will be given out soon. That's all; have fun during the weekends and take this opportunity to rest [if not, practice] (:
