Band Footdrill Assessment

The footdrill assessment will be on 12th April 2008 at Hwa Chong Institution as many of you had know. We have 1 months + more to prepare ourselves. Let's do this together and prove to the teachers, instructors, friends in NVSS, teachers in NVSS and Principle that BAND has the ability to march and play with instrument. Here are some things you all can improve and take note of....

  • Dressings when mark-time. - Pls check your dressing to your right and your front. Make sure you are not out. Use side of your eye to do so.
  • Mark-time, 90 degrees. - We observed that there are still some of you not lifting your legs when doing mark-time. When the band do mark-time together, it looks nice and orderly.
  • Your turning during backturn, left turn or right turn. - Turn together and listen to the timing, be it the bass drum or the timer.

Let us not give up now and continue to work hard for this assessment. I believe we can do it.
