Hey Band!!
Today will be the day, that you will see a post made by me.
On behalf of the top 3 leaders, I would like to thank you, for the support, Respect, Friendship and the music we have made together as a band. We cant possibly list every single thing that we are grateful for that you have given us.
On this very day, when I become your Ex-
DM, I would like to say that working with you people is a very fun, exciting experience for me. It is an experience that cannot be found/gain in other organisation/
CCA. Although the leaders will be angry because you people didn't follow instruction (blah...) but at the end of the day, how much the band have improved proved that all the pain we have endured is worthwhile.
Like what the teachers said today during the Passing Out Parade, you (every single one of you) have shown great improvement, both in terms of playing and attitude. Woodwinds, remember the times where Ms Tan didn't want to take you people because you can't play well? But now we can right? We have also gone for
SYF! This is the evidence that you have improved, tremendously!! Clap for yourself!!
WOOT! Same for the other section!
The road to
SYF have been a challenge to all of us. We all had endured and have fulfilled the school Motto of Beyond Frontiers!! To me, Kent Ridge Symphonic Band will always be the best and the Most Hardworking
CCA, ever in Kent Ridge! I guess you realise and know it too.
Time passes and now it the time for the next batch of leaders to take over the world right?
haha!
I'm sure under this batch of leaders, the band will become stronger and move to a higher level!
New committee, my advice to you is to follow what your seniors have thought you. Some things taught can never be applied like copying answer from textbook. You will need to use logic to find solutions from what have been taught to solve your problems. This applies to your studies also!
No doubt, you will be nervous/scared when you do your job. I started off similarly. Be confident, think/plan before you say anything. Don't be blur. If you are, things will not be easily achieved. You will also need to think about your job constantly, thinking of ways to improve/solve a particular problem that is lingering in your committee/band.
Seniors, your experience and knowledge has act as a catalyst, allowing the band to grow faster. Thanks to your commitment, the band can be who they are now. It is saddening that band is ending right? It may be for some of you. I would like to say that if you still have the passion for Music, join other organisation like West Winds, where your thirst for music making can be quenched.
I think i have said enough.
Naggy right? Can't blame me...
I cant bare to leave the band.
Hah!
To end off, I wish this band all the best.
Do your best in every Performance/Practice/Competition/Festival that you are able to participate in. Allow your music to touch every single audience.
Never Give up okay?
Remember Andrea's Phrase. "Faith Expand Who We Are And What We Can Do"
Must Have Faith!!
Listen more to Band Music to improve you own playing/tone!
Lastly,
Seniors! Good Luck for your O' Levels! The Top
Scorer must come from band!
I will look forward in making music with this band again=)
Your EX-Drum Major,
Gordon!
