What up, guys. Been extremely long since we've updated this blog, sorry about that. We'll try to make use of this blog more often as a form of communication.
Dear Bandies,
I know that many of you are physically and mentally tired from all the intense band practices. But this is the last run. Just 7 more days to go. After these 7 days, we will get a medal that will stay with the band for the next 2 years. Nobody knows what results we will achieve. But I know for sure that if we run this last lap fast enough, we will get to the finishing point with a silver medal.
We have worked so hard to move ourselves up to the next level. Personally, I find it painful to fall back down to square one again, having come so far. Keep pushing yourselves to the limit, and we will succeed.
It is not about how good we sound on one day, but how we play well everyday.
For me, Mr Lim is the reason why this silver is so important. He's given 110% of his efforts to our band. He deserves this silver more than anyone else. He is our hero - the one who picked this band up when it fell. So, for those of you who have no idea what this silver medal is for, it is for the best conductor in the whole wide world :]
Miracles do happen, so let's create one during these 7 days.
Let's keep pushing on. Because we can do it. :]
Love, HsinErn.

I am really very proud of all you because it have not being for you the band will not being moving forward. I would really like to say I love every single one of you . although nowadays I kept scolding all of you all. But I deep down I feel hurt because I dun really like to scold the band. I would like to let all of you know no matter come 8th of april. What ever result we get does not matters at all, because it is the journey that count the most. I would like too also say to the band it’s is the last lap toward the finish lines. Just give urself a final push to finishing lines. I really really enjoy my time teaching all of you. At time you all can drive me crazy and emo. But not because of all of you my life will not be so colourful. Like what our set piece title memories of friendship. Let these be a chapter of memories within the band and memories that you will not forget in ur life. I know all of you will remember all the scolding you get from me and also all the trip oversea. Let all remember quest band 2011. I know you will do your best to make urself proud and also the school proud. Remember after the performance on the actual day give other hug and say good job( remember girl and girl, boy and boy. No boy hug girls.). no matter what remember that your fat conductor will be with you all performing on that day. So no scared. We will go though these as a band on 8th of april 2011. let us remember these dates for forever in ur memories.

Hello Band :]
This is just a reminder to all those who are going for the Malaysia trip (17/3-19/3).
1. Bring your school ties! If anyone has extra ties lying around your house, please bring them along. Thanks :D
2. From experience, it may get a little cold on the bus, so bring along your jacket.
3. Girls, please bring along your hairpins/rubber bands (STRICTLY NAVY BLUE/BLACK. No pink, Candy.), and pin up your fringe. And also, bring along some plasters, just in case you start to feel a certain pain/growth (known as blisters) on your heel. Mr Lim says that he does not want to see any girl hobbling about/crying at one corner because your feet hurts.
4. Your personal belongings (e.g. hand phones, cameras, wallets etc.) are brought at your own risk. Please take care of them. The leaders do not want to hear of any misplacement of any valuables.
-) Please, please, PLEASE be on your best behaviour at all times. Do not make unnecessary comments, thank you.
-) If you encounter any problems along the way, seek help from the leaders or teachers.
-) Try to refrain from asking of numbers from the band members of other schools.
-) No unnecessary troubles, please! This trip is not a holiday, so it's going to be really physically and mentally challenging for all of us. We don't want to start scolding people half way through.
-) ALWAYS WATCH THE CONDUCTOR. Yes, especially trombones. Don't be afraid of the crowd. Just focus, play, and learn from the experience. We're all in this together :]
SLs, you're solely in charge of your section. Anything goes wrong, you'll be the first to get it.
And just in case the leaders don't get a chance to address you before the performance, we just want to wish you all the best. It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, just don't repeat it during SYF. You can do it, QuestBand! We have confidence in you. Everybody ( every individual in the band ) can perform well :] Flow with the music, listen to one another, and don't be a hero unless you are a soloist. WATCH THE CONDUCTOR! Mr Blue won't be following us to Malaysia D:
Sleep early, see you at 0530 tomorrow :D
Love,
Hsin, Kin, Jas.

What up, guys. Been extremely long since we've updated this blog, sorry about that. We'll try to make use of this blog more often as a form of communication.
Practice starts at 1, so be at band by 12.30 to set up. Ends at 5+ depending on how satisfied Mr Lim is with us.
The attire for practice is the new band tee and any school-based pants.
Of course, please remember to COMPLETE AS MUCH OF YOUR E-LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS AS YOU CAN IN THE MORNING, BEFORE YOU COME FOR BAND. We wouldn't want your teachers complaining that you spend too much time on your CCA, do we? Especially since we're nearing SYF.
Speaking about SYF, Quest Band really has to put in that extra bit of effort in this last stretch, as almost all the teachers have been saying. If you haven't noticed, ALOT of effort has already been put into us by the teachers and conductor. And we've already come really far, further than the last batches, to attaining that silver. It's just the last three+ weeks of extra effort, and you'll be rewarded as the first band in QTSS to achieve a Silver medal. Historic. However, if you slacken up even a little bit, you may just sabotage our combined effort in achieving this goal. Imagine the many months of crazy band devotion just to be screwed up by that little bit of effort you guys refused to put in. Do you want to walk away from the conference hall with a feeling of deep regret? I can tell you, for the last SYF, the feeling of regret we got when we got another bronze was really overwhelming. Or do you want to walk away with the ecstatic feeling of triumph that after the crazy amount of effort you put in, you MADE IT and we attained a SILVER. I really hope that Quest Band will work together for this competition.
Thanks,
Kin Leonn
