I have alot of hope in all 3 of you, and i believe that you will shine brightly, if you put in the effort to learn and strive to be the best.
All of us, your seniors, will definitely do our best to guide you along while we can. Especially us, your sec 4s.

okay tht was weird. why did i just do that o.o
okay so there're 3 sec 1 trombonists.. Jia Hao, Nicholas, and Cynthia.
i think that they're good. really. haha. ah well.
"gemstones need to be polished before they can truly shine.. otherwise they'll just remain as dirt." - quoted from Mr David Wong. LOL.
so... me and hong wan taught them the essential stuff.. buzzing.. holding inst.. assembling.. slide positions.. etc etc.
then had combined..
then at 5, me, yong xin, ethel and sherlynn had to leave le.. coz the concert was in Republic Polytechnic. IN WOODLANDS. LOL.
so chiong there by MRT..
i feel quite bad. coz.. i feel like i pangseh the band. like feel damn guilty. ah well...
had dinner with them at singpost first, subway. LOL. 2nd time eating there -.-
then took MRT to woodlands! sherlynn was listening to songs on my phone while yong xin was acting hero by standing and trying to balance himself on the train.
the concert was bloody nice i think.
the band's balance is super nice. and the dynamics are WOW.
they played ross roy, Harvest waves, they played a Woodwind quintet too! LOL but i dun think it can be called a quintet. coz a french horn played, and its not woodwind right? xD
ah well. then they played The Seventh Night of July, and The Witch and The Saint.
~intermission, where the four of us gave Mr Keith Koe his gift, and fooled around with the paintings xD~
then the band played Declaration, Ballade and Finale. this sounds damn familiar. forgot where i heard it. perhaps thru another concert?
then they had a Saxophone ensemble, where one of the conductors, Mr Gavin Goh, a PRO Saxophone player, played the melody.
DAMN BLOODY NICE I TELL U. they played "For This Moment".. ah shucks if only Mr Keith Koe could have played a trombone ensemble. xD
oh and the band is combined with current NYP band members leh!! the 2 bass trombonists are current NYPWO (nanyang poly wind orchestra) members. COOL YO.
then they played When the Tears Fell, a song about the trek of the cherokee (indians), when they were moving from their eastern state homes to Indian Territory. over 4000 men, women and children died.. zzz
then they played Imagine, an english song. but no one sang la duh -.-
the Mr Gavin Goh played the solo. DAMN IMBA!!!!!! OMFG.
haha sherlynn keep saying heiser's gonna take his place. LOL..
and the last piece was Elisabeth. this one got sad story. really. ah well. but i dun wan type here. xD
played this piece in sec 2.. haha. when i heard the song i keep thinking of the place where we performed, the Indian Festival of Colours. HAHAHA.
then the concert ended.. me and yong xin wanted to shout encore, but ppl overtook us. so we joined in!!
THEY PLAYED PONYO. LOL.
then after they finished the encore piece, i dared yong xin to shout encore again. HAHHAA.
but didnt expect this to happen.
people were rising from their seats, when yong xin suddenly roared ENCOREEEEEEEE!!!!!.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
everyone stare at him. i was so shocked by his roar that i jerked and knocked my head on the seat. sherlynn best. she ran down the aisle. HAHAHAHA.
