MusICian

finally. the specialists came today. kinda scary, when i was walking with them, because i know i’m the most junior amongst them, and some of them have been playing music for as long as i’ve breathed, some even longer. i’m surrounded by experts in the band scene: Mr Ng Kok Hin - the King of the Euphonium, Mr Tan Aik Khoon - a very senior band instructor and Trumpet expert, Mrs Angeline Tan - the Queen of Percussion, Mr Pisit Piriyapon - a wizard on the Trombone and of course Mr Richard Png - the King of Jazz Clarinet. very soon, Mr Oura will come too, and Mr Oura is a much respected band instructor in the scene.

i am feeling the pressure already. 86 days to SYF. surrounded by an expert team yielding superb results on the first day they came in, there is no reason why i should not be delivering results too. the last combined rehearsal today showed us what the specialists can do for us: wonders. i felt so different conducting them today! i must also push on and be efficient; not a lot of time left, so i must really deliver positive output from all our sectionals. so blessed to be working with such wonderful instructors!

however, i do not think my ability should be doubted. i have also worked hard to get where i am today. well, shan’t let these bother me!

there’s really not much excuse not to do well now. we just need to get adequate instruments and accessories for the competition, and we’ll have sufficient resources to fight for our Gold with Honours! so members, if you are reading this, we cannot give ourselves any more excuses. all the way, side by side, one mind, one heart, into SYF with the greatest fighting spirit we shall strive!

Gold with Honours!!!!
