Two years have passed in the blink of an eye. These two years have definitely been fruitful and memorable for both instructors and members. We finally have our pioneer batch of band members promoted to secondary four and almost immediately they have to retire from their duties. "Have I done enough?", "Did I build my section well?", "Am I contented?" are probably some questions the seniors will ponder upon. Without doubt, some are happy with the early retirement and some wish they had more time.
I want to use this opportunity to let the secondary 2 and 3 members think about what their answers to the above mentioned questions might be when you stand down eventually. I see many become mature over these two years, becoming more responsible and involved. However, do not wait till you are secondary 4 to have visions and resolutions for the band because it'll all be too late.
To the graduating seniors, Thank You for being with the band through these years. We wish you the best in your coming examinations and most importantly, membership to PHCB is lifetime! We hope to see many of you come back as alumni members! Moreover, your duties will resume after your O Levels! We'll try to organise a mini concert and hope all of you can join us! I also expect us to be on the same coach/plane/train year end on our first overseas trip.
From now till O levels, feel free to come play on your instruments if you feel like doing so! You're always welcome to do so!
More later,
Cheers,
Mr Tang
