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!
