Junior Band Festival 2010 rounded off on a high note!
Just like what I've messaged you guys, wrote in your long letters, wrote on my fb status, told you all personally: I'm super proud of all of you. I've never expected myself to being able to experience this.

This experience is really unforgettable. Perhaps like what Sharlyn told me: It's a process of harvesting crops.
I felt really ______
I don't know what word to use to fill in the blank. My seniors who have been through this... there isn't a word to fill in right? Hahaha. My experience this JBF is really different compared to my very own JBF. My 2nd and last memorable JBF. :) I shan't share it here because this isn't my personal space to blog.

My dear sec 1s,
We've all started off with a large section of 10 people. Today, the 11 sept, many people have left due to various reasons. Now, we have a section of 5 members standing. After this wonderful experience of music making, I'm sure you guys are having an overwhelming passion for band. Keep working all the way. The real one has yet to kick in. If you've read my letter properly, I'm sure you would get what I mean. :)

Also, my heartfelt appreciation towards ALL seniors who came down to support the junior band! Inclusive of the old alumni (like sharlyn, joey) :)
All these wouldn't have been made possible w/o all of your consistent support. Thank you very much. :)

I never really posted in this section blog before... So I would like to take this chance to sum up a few things.
It has been 4 months since the limelight performance, 4 months since the sec 4s officially stepped down from their duties. In this short period of 4 months, it seemed like a really long yet quick time. (contradicting?) I shall not elaborate on that but in these happening 4 months, I'm sure all of you bound to have grown a little here and there(not physically though).

After the limelight concert, there was MTDC'09/10 graduation concert, NOMAD perf, hosted Australian band for workshop, Awards Night Ensemble performance, Band dinner, YPSB concert, Masterclass, YOG, MTDC 2nd batch ensemble performance and finally the JBF that just took place. Of course, in between here and there, there were quite a number of things too. Basically, these are the more happening ones. I'm sure you guys didn't realise how much we have done in these mere 4 months.

As the SL for the past 4 months, I can't say that I did a good job or anything like that. I want to take this chance to thank each and everyone of you for giving me a chance to really get used to being an SL. Without your faith in me and cooperation, things would have been much worse off.
Certainly, we aren't the best section in the band, might be currently the weakest section of the band, isn't the most bonded section, might be the most segregated section etc etc...
I'm sure things would get better if everyone just puts in the same amount of effort.

A man is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits.
So to those who felt really demoralized over the past 4 months, don't ever give up.

Alright, this is a really really wordy post. I hope you guys didn't die reading it, I shall continue another time. So I shall end it off with a quote that never failed to inspired me: Winning doesn't always mean being first, winning means you're doing better than you've done before-

With lots of love,
Chenning
