today,
i wasn't able to come for band practice,
as i had to attend this science practical lesson.
when i was busy working out the experiments,
i overheard the brasses playing
and oh,
how surprised i was to hear such an improvement in their playing.

for trumpeters,
a really good job.
you guys are improving,
and i can really see the effort put in.
i know it's hard to play
without the guidance from seniors.
but yeah,
when i was in sec 2,
only left me and firdaus in french horn.
we had to learn and infer
on how to play and read the notes
cause we're new to french horn.
basically,
it's like playing a guessing game.
i never knew how to read the flats, naturals and the sharps.
i didn't know when to play the flats and all that.
but as the time went by,
it all started to show up,
and you can really see the pattern.
so yeah,
do not give up although it might be hard for you guys,
especially without any seniors being able to guide as you play.
if you guys do have anything doubts or enquiries,
just approach me or firdaus or ms tan or miss ong okay.


for the rest of the band,
i heard that mr ng did a lot of scolding today.
and of course,
i'm sad to hear that.
for whatever that he said,
be it harsh or hurtful,
put that all away.
throw it away.
take in the advices that he gave,
for it,
i'm sure,
will be able to help you a lot in your playing.
he didn't scold us for nothing.
if he scolds you,
it doesn't mean that he hates you or so.
it's just that,
he wants you to make effort,
he wants the best out of you.
well,
afterall,
it's because of him that we managed to clinch bronze in the
previous SYF,
after how many years of COP.

we have the support from our seniors,
teachers and even mr ng.
let's not dissappoint them.

we can do it guys.
i know we can(:
