Teacher's Day Dedication
Friday, August 29, 20086:20 PM
Its Teacher's Day!
Since it is Teacher's Day, i would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the bandsmen, to thank all the instructors and teacher-in-charge of SJIMB. They have done many things for us and helped us improve as a band.
We would like to thank Mr Tan Thiam Hee and Mrs Chua/Mdm Yue Ai Chuan for their never-ending and ever-lasting support. Mr Tan inspired every bandsmen in SJIMB to spur on to work on his music and thus gained respect of the bandsmen. Mrs Chua's warm and amiable personality as well as her motherly figure has made her one of the bandsmen's much loved mentors. Agreeable yet firm, she has won the hearts of the bandsmen.
We hope all the bandsmen will work harder and get a GOLD for SYF next year for the above 2 mentors. =)
We also would like to show our appreciation by thanking the following Teachers-in-charge for their continuous support and guidance: Mr Colin Lai, Mr Terrence Fong aka Rain,Mr Ng, Miss Tan Sia Hui, Mr Sirhan Ahmadiah and Bro. Jason Blaikie.
Hail to all Teachers!

Josephians Celebrate National Day!
Friday, August 8, 200812:05 PM
Happy National Day to Singapore!!!
Today probably every school in Singapore celebrates Singapore's 43rd National Day. Usually during such events, SJIMB have to play at the side of the hall. For this year, we played 76 Trombones, National Anthem, School Rally and Alma Mater.
We were in the bandroom at about 7.15am and we started the rehearsal... 76 Trombones sounded quite acceptable and for the other songs, i have got nothing to say coz we have been playing those songs for years years and years....
We brought all our chairs and stand down to the hall at 8.30am. ADM gave the band 8 mins to bring everything down but the band took 15 mins...
15 MINUTES! Bandsmen was taking their own SWEET time to move everything down.... disappointing.....Anyway, after that, we wore our band ties and had a final rehearsal at the hall. ACM conducted us and well, it was ok...
Now for the real thing.... not really nervous coz theres nothing to be afraid off.... there's only Students, Teachers and Senior citizens from Kwong Wai Shu Hospital....
We played 76 Trombones when the crowd starts to enter the hall. Everyone settled down and the ceremony began. We played school rally as a way to welcome the people from Kwong Wai Shu Hospital. ACM conducted in a faster tempo and everyone was like rapping the song.... lolz
Then it was the time for the new Flag Bearers to enter the hall. Goh Wei Jia from the Euphonium Section was our new Flag Bearer. We then played the National Anthem and the school sang to our tune. ACM somewhat conducted that a little too fast and probably he was too tense and this was his first time conducting in front of the school.
We sang 3 national day songs.( i apparently forgot the names but i know these songs are freaking old). The Chinese, Indian and Malay language society performed a number of items for the school. I thought it was Racial Harmony Day =p
After a youngest student in our school and the oldest senior citizen present at this ceremony cut the national day cake, it signals the ending of the ceremony. We played Alma Mater as the school cheer it out. Mr Chan asked the school to do the kallang wave, or should i say, the SJI wave.
Finally the finale.... we played 76 Trombones again as everyone slowly left the hall. ADM again ordered the band to bring eveything up in 8 minutes and yet again they took
MORE THAN 15 Minutes!!!What the!!!!!!! After that, ABS decided to do something about it and i would not go on futher into the details.....40......
Before dismissal, we sang a birthday song for Thaddaeus Tan. It was his birthday....maybe not today, i think is either during the weekends or whatever.... ATops gave presents to him (i gave him an unopened mineral water bottle).
That was what happen today! Pictures will be place soon..... sry for the inconvenience...

The Day of Esplanade Performance
9:13 PM
Yesterday the performance was quite good, or should i quote from the SSO conductor, Mr.Yang? He said,"Bravo!".
Taken after rehearsal
Most of us were VERY VERY nervous during our show. The first song we played with the violin sololist RACHEL CHUA was quite acceptable. As for the next song, i think the whole orchestra screwed up. Some people suppose to play but no sound leh.... *cough**Glen**Cough* while some others screwed up big time.... but on the whole, this concert was memorable. We all got a small token of appreciation and we got to take group pictures with Rachel Chua, suggested by ARO Tze cin =)
A few hours before our performance, most of us went to Marina Square to have our lunch. Me, PinRen, Leonard Khoo and Thaddaeus went to macs while Tze Cin and Hao Teng went to SAKAE SUSHI!!! Rich mah....... haha joking....
Most of the time we were loitering around the backstage and in our rooms, waiting for our performance. Some of us were playing PSP and Nin.Ds while others are getting warmed up. In one more special case, a guy called THADDAEUS TAN was doing his homework.... smart boy... We also sneaked in to the concert hall to take pictures....=)
The real performance starts at about 7.30pm and here are some pictures taked by Mr Lai during the concert.
