36 MORE DAYS TO SYF!
wow. it's going to be tough.
sometimes I have sleepless nights just thinking about band.

guys, we are left with one month.
just one month to determine the results of our hard work, our sweat, blood and tears.
remember the first time we got the scores right in front of our eyes?
it took us time to really understand what was going on, how should the parts be played, how should the dynamics be.
we've gone through alot, we've seen alot.
band camp, band exchanges, holiday practices.
we've been through alot of shoutings, pumpings, and lip-cracking moments.
the intensive practices, the hardships that came by.
the frustration and tension that some felt.
that was the rocky part of our journey.
it was just the beginning then.
we still had a long way to go to climb that mountain.
then came the second part.
we practised and practised till we could even memorise the notes.
we sounded better, we were united.
we had fun, full of laughter and euphoria.
we shared happiness across the band and school.
we managed to reach out to our listeners, they enjoyed what we presented.
the marching video, we did it.
the recording, after the second try, it was awesome.
it was smooth sailing, the road was much more straighter.
and right now, we're left with the mountain.
it is right in front of us and we are left with a month to finish it to the summit.
yes, a month. just close your eyes, fellow bandmates.
imagine this situation and tell yourself this.
"I've put so much effort. I've used up my time for this. I've
given everything i could. This is it. I'm near, I'm near."
guys, we ARE near. let's climb up to the top shall we?
let's push ourselves just a few miles more.
let's give every little strength, power and spirit we are left within this short time.
let's be godfairies and grant our own wish.
LET'S REACH THAT GOAL WE ALL HAVE BEEN WANTING SINCE THE BEGINNING!
we have no time to waste. we have no time to look back.
let's finish this and gain our victory that we deserve!
LET'S DO IT!!

from your very own Band Major,
FARAH.
