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 :)
