And if this fails, let me be slapped.

hello band. =)

U might find this weird,
coz this post is written by me,
ur senior, Tormimiiiiiiiii.

as a band member once,
it actuali saddens me that
i can neither be physically there
to help nor can i participate in the first place.

ya, im not a good speaker (or writer in this case).
but i jus hope that these words would count, in the long run.

Im very sure that during your days in CSSB,
you probably have learn something that
could have actuali change your life in any way.

Well, getting straight to my point,
in my days in CSSB, part of wat i had learn is,
the true meaning of UNITY.

We can't be united overnight.
It takes time for bonds between
pupils to strengthen.
This might seem contradicting,
but its actuali easy to be united.

in every incident, be it a happy or a disappointing one,
a glimmer of hope, for a chance of unity is always
there for us to grab.

Just a small positive comment or a minor act of concern
goes a long way.

a simple deed of helping to open the door,
helping another band member wash his/her mouthpiece,
even smiling to ur dear bandmates counts.

yes, every casual act of assistance
in these emergency weeks counts in building
up close rapport between every band member.

In these last few weeks,
lets put on the best effort
to practice whatever thats left.

whats a little pain,
compared to the festive
after the BIG DAY?

and better still, with the extra extra extra
hardwork injected in the practices,
imagine thejoy when the words "Certificate of Distinction"
is announced right after our school name.

And just realise, that all of this is POSSIBLE.
It is just up to us Band members.
So the only obstacle between us Band members and the Distinction Cert,
are ourselves.

yes, you are your worst obstruction
to your own goal.

Triple your effort in these few weeks.
And when the moment of truth comes,
we wont be disappointed.

For the upper secondary members,its your last chance, your last shot.
Give it your best.
Surely you want to leave the school
later (or 1-2 years later) knowing that u hv
made the school proud with your sincere contributions
to CANBERRA BAND during the marching assessments.

For the lower secondary members,
though you still have another chance,whatever the outcome during
the big day will greatly influence the
standard of the band in the consecutive years.
So im sure when one of you guys/girls are promoted
to be the drum major or band major next time,
u would like to lead a band full of committed members.
So lets start, NOW. GO!!!

yes, whatever happens,be it positive or negative news after the big day,
it will have a deep impact to the band.
remember, it is inevitable.
If its good news, be happy.
If not, dun be sad, life has its ups and downs.
Move on.

bear it in mind that the most
important thing is, the process
leading up to the BIG DAY itself.

Cherish the moments together.
You will miss it next time.

I love you all.



ONE BAND, ONE SOUND, ONE SPIRIT.
