2 more days till SYF'09
Scary how time passes so quickly, no?
How are you guys feeling now?

This is our very very last lap. Ask yourself, how badly do you want a silver? These past few weeks of practices were indeed very tiring, I agree. But I believe it's all worth it. Don't you think so? Look at where Questband is standing now, we have really come a long way.

On 7th April, up on the stage of Singapore Conference Hall's, many of us will feel frightened. Perhaps we'll even tremble. But remember, we are up there to perform. We are up there to bring music to the audience. Reach into the pieces, feel the music, feel each and every beat. Allow the audience to feel the same way as you.

Remember the slow movement in Heatherwood Portrait? Move along with the rhythm, move along with the song. Those few minutes of the song are meant to be sad, so express that sorrow through the music we play. Let the audience feel it.

Figure E and K of Overture No.1, do bounce along. Mr Kumar told us before that whenever we reach that part, he'll feel as if he's in a funfair. But Mr Kumar feeling it alone is not enough. We have to feel it ourselves, we have to let the audience feel as if they are in a funfair as well.

Over the past few months, Mr Kumar really had done alot for us. Many of the things he did behind-the-scenes, you don't even know. Remember those band xchanges that we had been to during the month of February? Had it not been for Mr Kumar, we won't be exposed to other bands at all. Remember those many section tutors that came down? Had it not been for Mr Kumar, do you think anyone would actually be bothered to help us?

What about Mr Daniel and Mr Firdaus? When we're having sectionals, who is the one going around helping out with as many sections as they can? Who is the one teaching the sec1s, the future of Questband?

There's only this much that I can say, there's only this much that many of us can help. It eventually balls down to each and every one of you. Like what Mdm Yani said, it only requires one moron to say 'Bronze is enough', and the whole of Questband's morale will be dampened. Don't be that moron, cause we really don't want any.

We have come so far together as a band, and it's just two more days.
It's all up to you.

After SYF, things are going to get a change. But no matter what, do not forget what we have been through.

"The medal will rust and corrode, and eventually, it will become tarnished. However, this rich experience that brought us to where we are now, will remain etched in all our hearts. Memories are like sieves, thoughts and memories are forgotten as time passes. But this SYF experience will not, as it is not only a memory, but something that will impose values and morales in us for life.

Remember the seniors, juniors.
Remember the juniors, seniors.

Remember the conductors, band.
Remember the band, conductors.

Remember the band, remember Questband.
Remember SYF 2009, regardless of the medal."
-Tammy, 2004-2007 band member

Have hope, have faith.
Work on it.
