Hi guys, Kin Leonn here.
Firstly, I would like to say that it has a been a real pleasure playing music with everyone one of you, especially my section, even though you buggers really infuriate me at times. The journey we've made together has really been great. I'll miss this band alot.
Secondly, I'd just like to emphasize on what I talked about the practice before SYF. Which is that YOU YOURSELF KNOW THAT YOU CAN PLAY GOOD MUSIC, THAT PEOPLE ENJOY THE SOUND THAT THIS BAND PRODUCES! SYF is just a small competition, something that "proves" you are worthy. But really, that "proof" is absolutely subjective to what the judges are feeling that moment. If they don't buy our music, like what Mr. Lim says, it's just suay.
But you have shown many people, including your fellow schoolmates, teachers, alumni and Mr Lim that you are definitely capable and DESERVING of that silver medal, that our standard is already a silver standard. Why do we need the official medal of those judges to prove that we are officially a silver band? Everyone here knows it already. Our performance at the SCH was one of our best and everyone who watched us and has seen us before know it.
The important thing now, though, is to SUSTAIN this standard. The Sec 4s are passing out already, so the rest of Quest Band have to make an extra effort to mantain a good attendance to further improve the overall quality of this band. Mr Lim says he wants a GOLD medal for 2013's SYF, and that is no small feat, I admit. Thus, it's vitally important for all of you to carry on this enthusiasm and spirit in Quest Band! If you guys get a gold, I tell you the whole school will be like OMGWTF! Keep improving, guys! Don't let the spirit die out like what happened after the last SYF!!!!! If we could reach this standard in half a year, imagine the effect reproduced in TWO YEARS! ALL THE BEST IN THE YEARS AHEAD!
This is probably my last post as DM. You know I was never one for making good speeches like Hsin Ern normally does, but yeah here you go.
OH ONE MORE THING. Can the SLs collect $3 from your members for the upcoming gathering? TY!
Cheers! QUEST BAND!

Upper secondary students who have remedials, please do inform Edmund/Clinton/Mr Foong/Ms Azlina/Mdm Haryati/Ms Liu before hand that you will be late. In this way, you will not be punished. The duration of the Band Practice will not be compromised. Band Practice will be prolonged if it starts late, thus punctuality is compulsory.
