Lemme add first... I always see Bjorn conducting sections damm cute lar... keep dancing around the room and, as Jia Quan says, "bjorn is the first guy who would dance to the music of volkman". Haha. Sectionals should be fun and gay(not jia quan, i mean happy).
But there are some other stuff I think bjorn always leave out -.- or some improvements i would like to see next year..
1. Tuning before starting to practise
I remember a memorable event when we are practising Volkman 3rd movement first 2 bars. Hahahahaaaaa... Larry and Zheng Wei's G string was like a 3rd apart la..
2. Everyone, especially the sec 3s and 4s, must know how to play the music. cannot be condoned if S3 or S4 faking if they dont know the music, esp next year have to mug for SYF le. I think if we hear something fishy we should test the S3 and S4 individually.
3. Ask for comments more often. SL/ASL is not always right when conducting sectionals. Sometimes SL/ASL MAY screw up our bowings when we are actually correct. This never happened while Bjorn was doing secs thou..
4. Assessments more often! This ensures the standard of the viola section remains, well, up to standard? lol nvmind
5. Regular check of practise scores. This is something I would like to highlight.. This is very important as if someone's practise score has the wrong bowing, or missing fingerings, at home how to mug?? Den go orchestra all the bowings screwed den Mr Chan niao us den how?
