To ALL SECTION LEADERS:
Please make sure your section has full attendance otherwise you’ll stay back and explain why they are not here. The councils will not accept silly reasons eg. I can’t contact them, I don’t have their number. You better get their numbers before Wednesday so that if they are not present, you can call them. Don’t have it? get it from me. Understand? Yes, okay. & there will be a new piece for them this Wednesday, it’ll be Legend of the Ancient Hero by Mr Yeo. Please ask your section to bring thumbdrive on wed if they want the recording. Otherwise if you have, you can send it to them. Yup, some of you have the music score already. And please, for nuts, practice during sectionals. Don’t fool around, things don’t get efficient. You wouldn’t want to sound the worst during sectionals. Oh ya, please take a tuner when you go up to the music room. Very very very important for every section to have one tuner. &also make sure you have all the pieces in your file before entering the room. Look for SHEILA OR ANDY if you do not have any piece. Thanks.
