Those interested in Mus'art concert and St Margs Limelight please tell me by tues!!

PAY ME $10 FOR SATOSHI YAGISAWA CONCERT!! TUESDAY!!! btw it's THIS SATURDAY.

and hor, the mouthpieces, we may get a few, we may get several, we may get none at all ): depends on the band budget and the teachers. so see how first ~ the bass cupmutes also we may just borrow 2 mutes. but i think borrowing is better also lah coz we hardly ever use cupmutes anyway? anyway TAKE CARE LIKE REALLY GOOD CARE of your instruments and mouthpieces and mutes etc okay!! we really no money for repairs and new stuff alr haiyo ): the band has alr spent $2k on repairs which is a lot a lot. and it's only march!! so yeah please take care.

CARING FOR YOUR TROMBONE
1. Wash mouthpiece thoroughly after each use. Do not intentionally or unintentionally drop/hit mouthpiece.
2. Cream slide regularly.
3. Oil trigger regularly.
4. Lubricate tuning slides with jam regularly.
5. When bringing up or putting down your trombone, do it SLOWLY. And watch out for anything nearby that you might hit
6. Ensure that your trombone is screwed on properly, to prevent the bell suddenly dropping or something.
7. Ensure your slide is locked if carrying here and there or just take extra care not to drop the slide.
8. Don't carry your bell by the tuning slides, hold a spot which definitely cannot drop out of the bell.
9. Take care not to pull out the tuning slide with too much force to prevent tuning slides flying out. [cough, my poor ray ):]

And i could go on and on. Haiya all this very basic yeah. you all should know alr (:

yay that's about it ~
have a nice holidayyy :D
