I spoke to Mr Clarence too but no success:(

He wants all d students to try the cca assigned to them at least till end of March.
I worry abt the 3x practice in a week too
The sat practice will be from 9 to 630 pm!!
How to have family time during weekend ?
My son misses the audition for ncc land too as he was in oversea buy informed Mr Lawrence Lim n was told it is ok as long we put ncc land as first choice he would get in . I was shocked when the news came to me my son was put into band....

Tkllbs: which class is ur son? Mine is 1D
Are u attending TK1 nite?:)

Hi, DS is in 1B. Yes, I am gg to the TK1 nite next Sat. Shall we meet? DS actually wanted to put Band as 1st choice coz he doesn't quite like those training in NCC (land) but i told him abt the 3x practises per week so he changed his mind. In the end still ganna posted to band so it is really \"注定\"!

I stay rather near TKSS and the training near competition really scary..

Almost daily, and in the rain too.. ...Guess that's why their band has been one of the top ones for awhile..

OMG! everyday?? Won’t it affect their academic ??

Daily probably just before the competition more frequent during the holidays... ..My friends who are nearer complained about the noise and school will give them a 'practice' schedule.. ..
Guess if the passion is there then okay...

momof3musketters, don't worry too much. I was a band girl during my sec days & I have lots of sweet memories as a band girl in those 4 years. I learnt to appreciate music, discipline, team spirit, etc etc. I told my son since being posted to band, just enjoy it and he'll have no regrets. Of course not in the expense of his studies lah.

DS is anyway very happy to be in the band so think now what i can do is to support him & to remind him if he starts to neglect his studies.

Apols ttklbs... we 'met' but didn't have chance to talk to each other.... I wonder where are the other parents, don't see them here. Will probably contact the rest of the parents to come in here
