hey girls!

been a long time since i posted, huh?

well anyway ALL of the original JASTRY members have officially officially graduated from TKGS, and now we're left with the three of you. put in your bestest effort and keep the TKGSSB Oboe Section ALIVE! :D whoooosh! new juniors will be coming in soon [hopefully you'll have two next year. one is such a lonely number.]

i hope you all are still enjoying your band life, cause i'm quite sure i'm still enjoying mine heaps and loads! i know it's stressful and stuff, but youall have to keep holding on. i know playing the oboe isn't easy. and that's the exact reason why you'll be so proud of yourself when you master it, get to play solos, and other awesome stuff like that. keep practicing! (: the oboe really can sound awesome (: believe in your own ability kay! relax, breathe deep, find the warm sound within you, and bring it out.

i guess thats enough for now.

Hello!
Robyn here!

Yes the blog is dead, we need TRAFFIC.

So! Some updates hmm.

Jaslyn is our latest addition to the oboe family!
She's a nice girl don't bully her please!

Yay we got Gold With Honours! (but somehow we never posted this up)

And. If you all have not noticed, right now our oboe section has only one person from each level!
Exactly 4! But now that I've stepped down, there's only 3!
Everyone work hard ok? :)


I hope this will inspire you to work harder! One of the best oboe sonatas ever written I swear.

Francis Poulenc: Sonata for Oboe and Piano; I. Élégie - Allan Vogel (oboe), Janice Tipton (flute), Bryan Pezzone (piano)

hello my dear wonderful juniors.

i've heard youall aren't having that smooth a band journey now, so i'm here to update, and give youall some kind of moral boost, if i actually succeed in posting this up, in the first place.

i know band gets tough most of the time, but there are the nice moments you know? like how after all the stress of preparing for SYF, the results come back as a shiny gold. like how after being scolded like crazy for not being able to play a certain phrase, during the performance/concert, it comes out perfectly.

its sort of like the oyster. it has to endure all that pain, having that grain of sand within it. so it keeps trying to make itself feel better, but it only makes the grain of sand become that much bigger and that much more uncomfortable. but you see, after all that, the grain of sand becomes a beautiful and valuable pearl. its just that way. suffer to achieve, kind of thing.

it might be hard to tolerate the kind of stuff you get hurled at you, but you know what? its all meant to make you better. i know most of the time it actually isnt your fault, but thats just the way she is.

just play your best, and have no regrets as you proceed with your band life. i know i didnt, and i actually feel that void within me now.

and in everything, we, your seniors, are here for you. feel free to call us up [home phone, for me, please?] or send emails! we'd be more than happy to help in any way we can.

with much love,
limting.
