Dear Musicians,

I wish to thank the EXCO for organising such a great camp. Everything was very well organised and planned for. Thanks to Miss Lee and Miss Wong! The camp would not have run so smoothly if not for their advice and meetings with the EXCO before the camp.

To me, the highlight of the camp was the ensemble competition. I see many tear after the competition and to me, that's a sign that you care. It is a sign that you want to continue to improve yourself for yourself, your section and your band. It was a good experience playing in a competitive setting.

The games were fantastic although I did not participate in them (except the last day :P). Just realise that it did not just happen naturally. The EXCO spent many hours planning them and even doing dry runs to make sure it's fun and friendship bonding.

During the talk after the ensemble competition, I mentioned many things and I hope you will put those words to heart. Let your pursuit for excellence in music be reflected in all areas of your life - studies etc. Continue to love and feel for each other because there's no experience that can quite compare to secondary school band life! My secondary school band days remain one of the most memorable years of my life. I hope you will get the same experience as I do! :)

Let's work together to make better music and friendship. After all, that's what band is all about!

Cheers!
Mr Tang

PS: Thanks to the Sec 4s and some alumnis who came back! It's great to see you coming back and I hope to catch up with you all soon!

Dear bandies :)


YEY OMG BAND CAMP'S ON TUESDAY ARE YOU GUYS LIKE EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^^

3 things you'd definitely need to bring for the camp:

#1. yourself
#2. stuff listed on the pack list (duh)
#3. an open heart*

yes i would like to stress on number 3 because to enjoy the camp, all you need is an open heart.
as in not really cut your heart out and show me, what i mean is to come to the camp with a good attitude.
i know not all of you may be feeling as excited as me about attending the camp but if you all are people who say "eh band camp ah.... sian. why must go" , then sad to say of course you won't be enjoying the 4 days and 3 nights spent with the band.

but if you are people who say "okay. this band camp is going to be fun and i'm very excited because i'm going to learn new things and bond with the band!!!! I CANT WAIT" , then i can assure you these 4 days 3 nights would prolly be your best few days of your entire life.
(okay at least for 2009 :P)


i hope none of us are like the people who dread this band camp because the exco really did a lot for this camp and i believe the best reward they would love to receive is to see the band really bonding and enjoying this 4 days together.
OKAY!!!!!!!!!!? ^^
especially to the sec 3s, this would be our last band camp already. we should treasure it all the more and have fun!


love you guys lots. see you on tuesday :D
