    Don't dwell on the SYF result already.Failure can a blessing if we learned from it and do better in future.There is always ups and downs.In the downs..there is ups too in other things.I can't imagine if we gets a silver by luck...then we will not learned from our mistakes..

    I have said what you will get in the band room when you asked me few weeks ago.I/your seniors have sustained 3 silvers for this band in the past SYF and we are the most experienced people to tell you this.We feel even more sad than you i'm sure but also happy in a way for gess cos this is our chance to learn and climb higher the next lab- a gold in 2011!...this is my 1st bronze in GESS band /my band career after 8 years of sustained effort for all my band.I was 27 year when i joined the Gess family and 25 went i joined Manjusri.Time past by like a lightning speed...soon it will be the next SYF.

    Our band woke up too late only during the last few practices and we leave all the things by chance and luck.Attendance and overall attitude were poor this year and we don't have 100% in everything until the last min... and also most junior cannot take the hardship during training..band its a amazing CCA..its not just music..it's a university on its own.
    Yes, we did managed to sound much better on the stage yesterday but too bad the other band in the noon that day was great.I'm sure they have worked even harder than us.Some bands practiced for very long hours to achieved this result.There's no short cut in life i believed, life itself is a long journey of learning.. every single day is a lesson.
    Let's learned the lesson and work harder in whatever things we are doing in future and don't take things by chance alone again.Daily progress and consistency are very important to achieve a success...same with your school work.

    Next important thing now is to start to work harder for your exams.Remember every step counts.Start now before its too late again.
    I thank you all for the time contributed to the band and as for the new batch of members(sec1-2) lets start now to build up the band again for the next SYF 2011 whether i'm still around anot.Remember it all starts now.look far!Every band practices counts from now!
    We fell hard but lets take this as a momentum to jump higher..

    Best wishes for your coming exams.

    Thank you.
