Jamming sessions resumed

New year hols is about over and jamming sessions will be resuming starting this sat (3rd March). Hopefully all of you can make it. Please tell me at least 2 days in advance if you cannot make it and remember to bring enough cash ($20 at least) for the funds per month. Also, the time we're jamming haven't been confirmed but I will set it at 2pm tentatively. If there is anything you want me to clarify like the fundings and stuff you can ask me anytime ya? Oh ya, and we're thinking of doing jamming for around 3 times a week too, on a regular basis and time.

Lim suggested "Bench Warmers" for the band name, I think it's ok but you can give me more suggestions if you think otherwise ya? I'll be putting up our band name and logo soon when everyone is ok with everything.

3rd March, 2pm to 4pm/5pm, please take note of this time and pass around thanks!

collection of funds

yo..enjoyed your CNY holidays? okie..nw for details on collection of funds..i'm sure all of us have collected hong pao $$ during the CNY right? so funds will be collected on the next jam session..date and time to be confirmed.remember to pay the amt u are supposed to pay (*it depends whether u are a temp or perm member)..we need the money to keep the band goin..at least some cash to start with ya..stay tune for further updates..

What are you aiming for?

I'm pretty sure that improving our music to glorify God is the way to aim for and we all would very much like to improve our music standards right? These are two very famous songs we frequently play but I hope to improve the way and style we play. Ignore those worshipers, just look at how the band organise their music and when to bring in. We don't have to follow them 100%, but we can have our own unique style too ya? These are some references I hope we can all achieve by the end of this year or even better. ;)

Guys, I really need to get the logo and name for our jamming team by the following week cos' I have to submit everything when I apply for membership.

I'm thinking for our name how about "Jukebox" or something cheesy. And the logo maybe an eagle or something? I need ideas man, guys! Give me your opinions!

Anyway, just a reminder, there will be no jamming for the next two weeks and we will be continuing on the first sat in march. And we have to start collecting funds and stuff already for the jamming fee. Wong already calculated everything and I will be showing you guys how the funds are split etc when we collect funds ya? I know you hate paying but we have no choice, we have to pay for the booking of the room. =/

Happy cny and have fun! =)

Ahh yes.. i had some brillant idea... haha... and yes jeremy is a man eating monster, eats kids only though... tsk tsk.. haha ok on a real side note... the name and the logo for the band can be emailed either to germ or to me. ahh i expect isaac wong to do something.. top designer man he... ok erm other than that.. oh yah!!! if you guys also got nice songs that you'd like to jam, you can look for me and give me the title of the song and chords too. yup=) well until our next jam session, i'd like to wish one and all a happy chinese new year. god bless you all =)

Postponed session

The jamming session I proposed to be on 17th feb is postponed due to it falling on chinese new year eve. 24th feb I heard that we will be doing new year visiting? Ya, so sadly our sesson will be postponed for 2 weeks. At the meantime, I set the date tentatively at 3rd March (sat). Please leave 2pm to 5/6pm on all sats if possible free so that we can have weekly sessions.

Meanwhile I hope these things could be done in this 2 weeks:
1) A name for our jamming group so that we have a unique identity and I can submit it to alvron.
2) Design a logo to represent us (for alvron submission too)
3) A good suitable blog template to replace this current default one.
4) Confirm with me the time and date you'll always be free in a week so that I can draw up a jamming schedule for you guys.
5) Print out the remaining songs, find more songs and get a file to compile all the songs.

If you cannot find me online just sms me or give me a buzz! I'm not a man eating monster alright, just call me to inquire anything you need to know.

Thankyou for all your attention! God bless! =)

WANTED: Permanent Keyboardist and Vocalist

You guys can leave a tag voting for the "song of the month" to be on the site. I've also uploaded a few song chords and lyrics to the song section. If you have more of them you're welcome to send them to me for uploads.

Edit: Ok, I've found out why there are problems opening the files. It's cos yahoo is being irritating and disabled free users to enable sharing of files. But you can access my files if you're a yahoo member so ya, go sign up to get access to the songs. If that doesn't work I'll try to find another better site to upload them.

Quote from Yahoo! Briefcase: "Please note: If you are a member of the free Yahoo! Briefcase service, public access to your uploaded files will no longer be available. However, you will still be able to share your files with people with Yahoo! IDs and via email."

Another gentle reminder for you jamming folks, pls sms/msn me if you can make it on 17th Feb (sat) and what time you prefer before 15th Feb so that I can book in advance. Thanks. =)

Hello people! ahh just some info of the jam studio we will most likely be using yeah. you can check it out on http://www.alvron.com/default.htm yeap.. it's just a stones throw from church. so usually we'll meet at the market or something. =) yeap.. i'll keep this a short one.
hope to see more people soon =)
Cheers
Isaac
