NOTES ON IMPROVEMENT~
I actually wanted to pass this to someone in the trombone section but i forgot. So i guess i'll just write it here.

Trombone 1
Kahyan
-Try not to blast when playing loud.
-Improve on your tone.
-Blend in with the other trombonists.

Trombone 2
Brenda
-Play musically
-Practice high notes.
-Blend in with ruiyang in terms of tone and togetherness.
-Sight reading can be improved.
-Play rhythmically.

Ruiyang
-Blend in together with brenda.
-Play with emotion.
-Sight reading can be improved.
-Play rhythmically.

Trombone 2 can always come out more.

Trombone 3
KaiYan
-Blend in to trombone 3 sound.
-Don't crack and blast too much. Not nice to hear.
-Play musically and not just notes alone.
-Learn to play high notes.
-Improve on tounging and articulation.
-Improve on sight reading.

XinYi
-Improve on sight reading.
-Blend in with trombone sound.
-Always tongue your notes unless you see a slur sign.
-Articulation needs to be improved.
-Learn how to play high notes, like F major scale.

Xiyan
-Need to try not to frumble with your notes meaning don't shake the notes when playing.
-Need to learn how to tongue.
-Needs to improve on sight reading.
-Need to come out more when playing but not blasting.
-Always blend in with trombone 3 sound.
-Tuning.
-Improve on your tone.

Saiyidah
-Definitely needs help from trombone section.
-Improve on sight reading.
-Improve on tone.
-Improve on rhythms, articulation
-Learn how to tongue and slur at the right time.
-Blend in with the section.
-Play louder.
-Tuning.

Trombone 3, if you dunno anything, dunno what position the notes are. Please ask. Don't daydream. Ask Trombone 1 or 2 to help you. AND, don't keep talking and talking amongst yourself. Very irritating and annoying at times.

*HUMBLE*
*HARD WORK*
*PLAYING TOGETHER AS A SECTION AND BAND*
*FOSTERING GOOD RELATIONSHIPS*

These are the things that i think are the key to the success of getting a GOLD. Jiayou!
ONE BAND, ONE SOUND. Best of luck to you all. And if it's not too much of a hassle to ask. Do bring back your instrument regularly to practice. Only then can you improve. =)
