18 more days to HMT Os!
anyway, can't wait for FAM :) 'cos we have batch tables! :D
I realised I didn't post this here, so here goes:
love you guys lots :)
I've been thinking more about RGSSB lately (naturally, since we just had our last band practice yesterday).
Thank you bandeaus, for being part of this journey with me. I had a ball of a time.
I LOVE US!
Last performance with RGSSB today.
Let's do it :)
Hey dears,
Once again, it's the 1st of April. Somehow for me, SYF '09 didn't seem all too long ago, despite the fact that 2 years have indeed gone by. Looking back at the posts in April 2009, it seemed like we didn't take the results too well at first.
But this time, let's be stronger. This time, let's go in with the right mindset. To play our best music, not to achieve any tangible awards, but to really just touch the adjudicators and audience with our pure love for the music we play. Did all of you watch the youtube video on Mr Yagisawa's message to SYF '11 participants? He would like all of us to deeply feel for the music just as how he poured so much effort into composing them, and just remember all the memories of our performance together.
At the end of the day, this is really what we should be aiming for right? The tangible awards, are not ends in themselves, but a form of recognition that would come our naturally if we just adopt a right attitude towards our playing.
At the end of the day, it is the joy of the process we want to remember, and not about how we got too caught up in the achievement of such a tangible award that we forgot to savour the moments in which we were bonded by this one same spirit - our love for music.
There's only 7 more days! Let's really make the best of it, hand in hand. We are one RGSSB, and we'll be there for each other, always (:
I love RGSSB to the core of my being!!! I'm sure you all do too <3
yay batch :)
thank you for making SYF Camp 2011 such a success!
I'm happy to see that everyone (right? ><) enjoyed themselves :)
I hope that you didn't treat it as just any other camp, but a camp where we truly bonded closer as a band and I hope you guys felt the encouragement and support we have been trying to express in the activities. :)
I know everyone has vastly different feelings and thoughts towards SYF, but I'm sure our goal is common right? that is, to perform the music in our hands to the best of our abilities as a band so as to truly convey the meaning and message behind the pieces, as much as possible, to the audience.
haha, I'm sorry if you're seeing this again -- I've been preaching it a lot to the people I have talked to i.e. my section and mutual sharing group.
but I just wanted to say, amidst all the SAs and PTs and practices and indiv time etc, don't ever forget that you have committed yourself to 4 years of making music since you got into this CCA, which is RGSSB, and because of that, you should never ever let it slip your mind that you always have to be constantly improving yourselves so as to be able to bring even better music to our audience as a band. only when we improve ourselves to be better, then can we convey the meaning behind our music more clearly and leave a deeper impression on those who listen.
haha, I have no idea who will be reading this, but I just hope that whoever's reading this, whether you're from my batch or not, that you'll always remember that music is only music when we put our heart and soul into it.
hmm, but remember what MO always says to us these days: expression doesn't need to be through the tempo.
don't lag, come in on time, end together, listen out especially when there are harmonies to blend in, be happy about being able to play music together as a band :)
Couldn't help feeling a rush of nostalgia when we sang this yesterday.
I love our directs for choosing such a wonderful batch song. I love our batch for being just the way it is. I love our band for being RGSSB.
I think it's something about SYF, it gets me all sentimental at times.
Look back in the archives! So many fond memories <333
You'll be here in my heart, always (:
Today, I somehow felt extremely thankful for being blessed with such wonderful batchmates (:
There's about one month left to the end of this journey -- let's make the most of it!
Sigh... our blog is getting dead-er and dead-er as the days pass. Will we even have time to look back and reminisce our days in RGSSB next year, when our blog is already so dead in Sec 4?
I wish we were still in Sec 2, when we had much more free time to interact with one another. Now the only free time we have is spent doing homework, or doing band housekeeping stuff. We don't really get to fully enjoy band like we did last time (though we get to lead the band, finally :D)
I miss Turandot~
But I love Sagrada all the same. And SF too.
I'm seriously going to miss band when we leave. All the pracs, sectionals, instruments, juniors... So I really hope this SYF is going to a meaningful one. And we can keep it as part of our memories of RGSSB forever. Because the outcome doesn't count, only the process does.
Jiayou RGSSB!
