Next Band Practice

Band practice resumes 7 Jan 2007 between 1330 to 1530 [or 1630] depending on room availability [and punctuality :p]

Pieces

Hello folks,

In between our hiatus and our next band practice, do you have any pieces that you are itching to play for the next concert?

Please feel free to give any suggestions by commenting below. Thanks :-)

- ss

P.S. would be very helpful if you know where to get the pieces you suggested from...as well as MP3 recordings of these pieces.

Special Thanks to Everyone

First thing first !
thanks everyone for the effort put in for MIRIFICUS 2006
As some may already know, the AGM for our band will be held on

17 Dec 2006
1300 - 1600
Room 02-13



Anyone who is interested to be part of the committee is welcomed to come to the meeting

As you all may know, the tenure for our new committee is 2 years and since i took over the helms in Dec 2004, it had been a fruitful experience to be the president of MWS, since then the band had grown slightly due to the support of the gusto of the younger generation and determination of the older generation. Thanks everyone for the effort. The future is not far for us to see and i hope that the band will continue to grow .

We are opening up the following posts

Admin Department
President
Vice-President
Secretary and Treasurer
Concert Publicity, Band Welfare and Sponsors and Advertisements Officer
CCMC Representative - Eileen Tan

Logistics Department
Quarter Master/Mistress (2)
Official Band Driver - Shaun Soh

Library Department
Librarians
(1) is for sourcing of new scores
(2) are for sorting of the scores and printing of the scores

Music Department
Concert Master/Mistress (2)
Principal Players

As you all can see, the committee list is getting bigger, meaning that i would like more people to be involved in Moulmein, and Moulmein is OUR band, and not MY band alone. When people say that Moulmein this and that, it means us.

Projects to be discussed is the workplan for next year, we are planning to have a beautiful sunday concert, our annual 2 concerts and maybe our oversea trip.
