SJI exchange 2016
HELLO this is faith :)
SJI exchange was the best exchange so far and our whole section is so happy about how it went AND we made new friends !!
basically the exchange went really well(s) [HAHA get it guys] and it wasn't as awkward as expected. The ice breakers and stuff were actually super funny. first we did the typical double whacko which was an ok ice breaker. the next one was never have i ever and it was quite funny because hanis went like "never have i ever had a dick" ohman hanis but yup basically the rest of the game was stuff like that which i won't repeat because harem HAHA. after that was truth or dare and basically a lot of people hugged each other it was so cute and it was literally a giant match making session.
the performances by SJI were really good and we were all so excited about how cute the mallet solo in totoro was. but tbh i wasn't really paying a lot of attention to it so idk about the rest of the songs but i remember the whole section was crying over how good the sji percs were :)
in hanis's previous post we were going to make sure we got SJI good exchange presents but being us we forgot till the morning itself so we went to a tiny 711 to buy them a stash of m&ms. AND we felt so bad because they gave us a wrapped present and a typo card and all. but then we opened it and it was the chocolates maris gave us before ?? the ones that turned white HAHA like exactly the same.
the best part of the exchange was after the whole thing, we actually continued talking and now1 week later we're still talking and we made so many friends so we're all happy :) and we have a combined section outing with them on 1 april !! so basically sji exchange was really fun and one of the best :))

SCGS Exchange :))
Hello! I'm Hanis and it's my first time blogging so um... it will suck A LOT. Also, I think this is the first blog post of this year... It's March!!! I think I procrastinate too much :O
Anyway, RGSSB had an exchange with SCGS band on 25 Feb and it was really fun. The people, well the percs section at least, were really friendly and at the end of the exchange, they gave us a lot of sweets and we only gave them a packet of chocolate and one Ferrero Rocher each. But at least our card was nicer hehe. Thanks Victoria <3
We played Witch and The Saint. It sounded terrible when we were playing but it was not that bad. It was better than our practices so good job guys!!! I think the stage is structured a bit weirdly so like the people on stage think they sound bad but to the audience, they actually sound quite good? I have no idea. But what I do know is that I actually did exercise on that day (the most I have exercised this year). I had to play my tambourine part, the one that I keep forgetting, and the tambourine was so far away from the chimes:( So I had to run fast because I only had only 2 bars of rest. I came in late in the end but I feel fitter? Not really. While typing this blog entry, I am eating cookies. I am so fat and unhealthy. URGH!!!
SCGS band is so pro. They played 2 songs and one of them sounds like a spy song and it was damn cool. Lohitha was fangirling over the bongo finger roll thing. And like they sounded really pro and amazing. Also, SCGS (like the school itself) is so freaking huge. I think their school is twice the size of our school. All of us were in awe and we were like let's leave RGS for SCGS. However, my friend (she is not in percs) started doing the UNITE cheer randomly. It was damn hilarious.
Anyway, since we have another exchange with SJI next Friday, I think we can improve on some things:
1. Get more food for SJI percs section. Let's not be stingy :))
2. Work on Gloriosa movement 3. I think it's called Dies Festus (I probably spelt it wrongly).
3. Work on Courtly Airs movement 4. We have not touched this piece since Jan so we really need to refresh our memories again.
4. Be more active on this blog :))
Well, that's it for this post. To end off (is it of or off?), here's a pic of SCGS and RGS percs combined (minus the year ones). There is an unglam pic too but I don't think we want to loose our dignity just yet. I have lost mine a long time ago :(
With <3,
Hanis

Inaugural Y1'15 Post!!
Hi Sperckle!!
I'm Kirsten and I'm a not-yet-initiated Perc who's scared to death for her upcoming Inunion (especially since I left my DRUMSTICKS [and not to mention my waterbottle and pencil agh] in the band room so I CAN'T PRACTICE AND QC2 IS ON MONDAY) (I'll take up Megan's suggestion and use chopsticks) and I'll be writing my very first post here today! *inserts party hat emoji*
Today was a little bit more eventful than most Prac days! Janika kept going on about Senpais and pedoing her juniors, which was a kind of traumatic experience; Faith's foot started bleeding??; Megan thinks that she sprained her ankle (or sustained some other injury of the same calibre); Lohitha exemplified being a housekeeping blessing by staying back to yell at the rubbish in the many dark dark corners of the Percs area; and we saw Victoria dancing really enthu-ly!!
But that all happened during Sectionals from 2.30 to 4.30, and from then onwards I just lonered (new term coined) in the Vibes corner, waiting for Mr Wong to reach bar 127 so that I could hit something and be useful a grand total of two times.
Speaking of playing -- Janika spon-ed drumset today for our Pop Medley!
Also speaking of our Pop Medley - it looks so complicated omg I can't imagine how anyone could have arranged it THANK YOU VICTORIA <3
But I think that our whole section's improving really steadily!! Today during sectionals we all managed to play semiquavers in sync (which is a very very very big feat for 6 teenagers playing crotchet=163 on very loud drums) and even though it all poofed back into nonexistence when we tried playing the whole of Mr Ora's warmup I'm still proud <3
Also LOHITHA please stop stressing out over Pop Medley okay we'll all slowly learn it together with you and make sure you're done and ready to play scoreless by the 6th of November.
Okay the scoreless thing is a bit far-fetched but you get my point
(In case a sleepy person comes back to read this post and does not get my point, my point is that Lohitha should chill)
Also I would like to commend Mr Wong for being so expressive in his conducting - the fact remains that how much a band gives you is how much you ask from them.
And Hanis we missed you :'( Please come back soon and write here too
I think that's all we did for band prac today!! Gomen for not having much to write eheheh oh wells I'll try to become more articulate in the far future
See y'all next band prac!
Much much love and dinosaurs,
Kirsten

ndp'15!!!
Today was NDP!!!!!!!!
The most sucky part was shifting all the instrus from the band room to the parade square ugh D:
The second most sucky thing was me messing up the last bit for my timpani part during the National Anthem D: (the emoji's influences by janika)
HAHA but other than that it went great hehe im happy i did relatively okay except for that timpani part
okay so then we went to watch all the celebrations @ mini amphi and it was so cool and fun HAHA we were all jumping up and down during the singing of the National Day songs :D
then we basically took a lot of pictures and sat around in the band room waiting for the founders day prac at 11 haha
founders day prac omg the chimes it was SO HEAVY we took like 10 minutes to get it up the five steps leading to the backstage area in the hall???
it was q boring HAHA mostly we just kinda sat around in the band room and took more pictures while waiting for our turn
but it was fun hanging around with percs hehe yall never fail to make me laugh :')
basically today was exhausting but it was worth it because it was also so fun hehe
