HAPPY 2009 TO ALL! :DHello!
Sch's reopening tmr, hope that you all have completed your holiday hw (; Heehee.
Remember for tmr's CCA fair rehearsal for main band, its 1.45pm in the hall.
And on saturday, report 7.45am at the canteen.
And there's sectionals from 2pm- 4pm aft CCA fair for the main band. Rmbr report back in the band room by 1.30pm.
Anw, for Mr Tan's farewell party on the 30th, I think we all enjoyed ourselves very much right?
It's a happy occasion. We should be happy for Mr Tan that he is moving on, that he is going for futher studies. The two pieces- Stand By Me and Nostalgia were pretty well done, we really put our hearts into the playing and expressed our utmost thanks to Mr Tan through our playing. And really a big thank you to the alumni for joining us on this day (: Well, of course we'll miss Mr Tan very much. We'll never forget all his teachings, all the hardwork and effort he'd put in these 9 years to bring our band to where it is today. And of course we'll miss his cold jokes which are even colder than the band room. Haha. Well, 2008 had been a tough year for the band, there had been many changes. Firstly was Ms Tay leaving, then Mr Tan, then Ms Chang. I know we all feel sad about their departures, but we shouldn't be held back by these changes. Going through these changes would only make us tougher and stronger as a band. We want to welcome the new teachers joining us, Ms Zee and Mr Chew, and also our new conductor, Ms Samantha Chong. Like what Mr Tan had said, we are really lucky that Ms Chong has agreed to join our band, to take us to a higher level. So I hope that everyone would cooperate and make Ms Chong feel welcome in the band.
This year is a very important year, we'll be having SYF. Everyone should take this seriously. Self- practices are a must. Remember everything that have been taught. At the end of it, I believe that it's not the medal that matters entirely, it's the process that we've been through, the hardwork that we've put in and how as a band, we overcome our weaknesses, obstacles and become even stronger. Like what Mr Tan said, as long as we do our best, we are already a gold medal. So let's all work hard together, I know that we can.
:D
