Da Capo 07
Da Capo 07 is over, and all in all, i think it was a concert well done. most of the people i managed to talk to enjoyed the concert, and many left good reviews for my conducting. the concert is over! i can’t believe it! and i can’t believe that i conducted in front of so many people (800?) and survived. haha.
i’m glad i took the opportunity to learn from Mr Tan. i’m glad i did not give up my passion for music. i’m glad that i pushed on, with encouragement from Mr Png and Mr Tan and many people who thought highly of me. and though i’m still far from the best, at least i have come a long way, and i did my very best on that podium whenever i got on it!
and i’m glad that my mini success inspired some of my ex students 
what’s next? many things coming up, and i’ll be most willing to take up the challenge. after all, i have stated my own deadline for carving a career out of band directing, and i will make things happen before the deadline’s up! no, i will not be satisfied being only an assistant conductor forever. but of course, that does not mean i will give up my assistant conductor jobs! that means i will take up more jobs when they come. gonna give it my best shot!
many many thanks to NUSWS and its members. for bearing with my nonsense, my growing as a musician and conductor, my times of uncertainty, and watching me as i waved that baton that doesn’t make a sound. i thank also people who didn’t think i’ll be good; because that gave me an extra desire to prove them wrong. i thank the people who always believed i would make it; because that gave me an extra desire to prove them right. haha.
and i thank sweetie, for always being there for me through my ups and downs, and for finally watching my conducting 
Da Capo 07 was a success! did you go? hope you enjoyed yourself if you did!
