Hi cellists..

I can see that we have improved a lot in terms of playing together, even without shen.. (cos got me mah! xD haha jkjk, is cos have fo (: )this is gd, but of course after playing together, comes stuffs like intonation, and "Step 5 of shen's holy rule": Phrasing.

Shen cannot help u with these stuffs, u need to put in some time by urself, understand the music, and phrase and move according to the music. (but dun move excessively like WTH!) Intonation is also smth in which only practise and more practise can help. 20 more days guys, 20 more days to GwH..

As cliche as this may sound, i put forward to u this: "Do YOU have the passion?". I can safely say, i do. Passion can bring u even further than u imagine.

Ending on a lighter note, i hope we can all make it for the sat sectionals, and i also hope that during the sectionals u all would be more serious, and the usual jokers, pls understand the severity of the current situation. Also, i hope non-syf players can also be present during the sunday reh. Ur support will be greatly appreciated. (:
