Pretty soon, the seniors are all going to step down from band. Band practices may not be the same ever again. It's going to be different for you, me, all of us.
I'll be honest with you.
There was this period of time where I hated band so so much. I totally dreaded going for band practices. Attendance was horrible, discipline was nowhere to be found. No one felt motivated, no one felt the urgency for anything. I even wanted to quit, I wanted band out of my life entirely so hell freaking much. But it was only months till SYF then, so I stayed on.
Things began to undergo many changes, and people's attitudes start to change. Suddenly, I wanted that silver so much. I wanted all of us to achieve that silver.
Band practices then changed to being 6 days a week. Six days out of seven, was alot to many of you, even me. But you guys still went for them, and I thank you all so much.
Yes, we had an unstable rocky start, but look at where these past few months have brought Questband to. Look at where we're standing now. Look at us. We may not have achieved silver, but hell, so what? People may criticize us, but that's because they don't know a thing that we have been through. But you know, don't you? And I do, too.
I can't bear to think how things will be after we seniors step down. I don't even want to think about it... This may sound cliche, but Questband have brought me so much joy, so many wonderful memories. Attending band practices weekly feels like something that's part of my life. It feels like something that's necessary. We really feel like one huge family, no?

Questband shall always remain in my heart, along with each and every one of you. And I hope your heart has all of us in it too. I'll definitely miss you guys, definitely.
Questband, we stand together forever.
