The most important thing for the band, is to start and end off together

Hello banders!:D

just want to let you guys know that you are the best! for those going to genting trip, let's all work hard to together. let's aim for a gold! and then we can all play like crazy monkeys after the competition.

this competition is not a one man show, this is a team thing. there is never this thing call a one man show in band. we all have to work hard as a team. working hard would meant that we go home and practice. we should never wait for mr sim to come and practice with us during band. we could have use the time spent on practising that particular bar to move on to other part of the song! so guys, let's not be lazy and BRING HOME YOUR INSTRUMENTS TO PRACTISE!

the band is like a dragon boat. because in a dragon boat, the one sitting in front giving the tempo is mr sim, our conductor. and the person at the back steering the boat is the leaders and teachers and mr sim also.

because whenever the boat is heading the wrong direction, the person steering will guide and steer the boat(band) back to the original direction(goal). and of course the rest of the members who have to row the boat is the whole band.

every individual is essential in getting the boat to strive forward. just like every single band member is important in the band. when one person plays a wrong note or is out of tune, the band will be affected.

same goes for the boat, if one person slacks and stops rowing, the whole boat will slow down and head the wrong direction because the other side of the boat would be too strong. this would then give the person steering the boat a very hard time. so everyone in band matters. no matter what, we should stick together as a band, as a family through all difficult circumstances. if those who went for sec3 camp and did dragon boating, you'll understand better.
(got the dragon boat example from peiyun on friendster)

so we should play our part and start to encourage those who lost their passion for band and music. we all should help them to reignite(if there's this word) their passion for the band. coming for band shouldn't be a chore. you should come because you have the passion for music and want to enjoy.

to those who are not going for the competition, you guys should work equally hard because you guys wouldn't wanna fall behind right? so yup. as a band, we should work hard TOGETHER.

after the genting trip, i hope you guys(those who're going) will emerge as a stronger and better individuals. and of course, the band will proceed on to a higher level. if we're the best, we gotta prove it!
always remember, what you sow is what you reap. we sow hard work, we'll reap good results! so, come on people, let's all work towards our goal! :D

p.s i know this is a long post(:

with love,
jasmin
