at last,
the band blog is updated.
haha.
just ended the NCO camp yesterday.
thanks to those who came and supported.
really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
the NCO camp had benefited me a lot.
a lot of skills and knowledge were taught and shared.
don't worry, it's my turn now to spread it to my band.
i'll give my utmost effort to serve ESMB,
cause next year i want to leave with a light heart.
i'm only left with how many months with ESMB if you guys don't realise that.
next year,
speech day will be the last performance for the current sec 3s.
but for now,
there are things ahead of us that we must focus on.
band camp,
2 band exchanges,
SYF etc.
dear members,
although some people might call us band geeks,
they don't realise that being in a band
is way better than any other things.
here are some evidences.

The scores of elementary instrumental music students on standardized math tests increased with each year they participated in the instrumental program.
- "Music Training Helps Underachievers," Nature, May 26, 1996

In a 2000 survey, 73 percent of respondents agree that teens who play instrument are less likely to have discipline problems.
- American Love Making Music - And Value Music Education More Than Highly Than Ever, American Music

so guys,
who says band is a waste of time.
you're actually benefiting something you couldn't see.
aren't you glad to be the priviledged one?
i hope to see better attendance in the upcoming band practices.
do attend those practices cause each one of them is really precious.
if you can't come,
do inform the teachers-in-charge or the BM/DM.
and for those who wants to cabot or run away,
i'll chase(:
peace.

with quavers and crotchets,
your BM.
