GOOD JOB FTPBand !!!

We have attained a Bronze award for SYF 09. We have managed to maintained a Bronze from SYF 07 which is good. 

Think back. When we were on stage this morning, it wasn't too bad at all. It was decent. You know it. Like Ms Loh, Mdm Aini, teachers and alumni commented, it was a good performance overall for a small band like us. Really. 

Considering the fact we decided to participate for SYF at the last minute. 

Considering the fact we only started practicing in February.

Considering the fact there were only 30 of us up there on stage.

Considering the fact we were the first Band to perform.

We stayed calm and collected and still managed to put up a fight.

Getting a Bronze is not the end of the world, so is making a mistake. Made a mistake today? Put it behind, get over it. We still have speech day to perform our very, very best. Save the best for last right?

If your friends give you negative comments tomorrow somehow, take it with a pinch of salt. Be proud of the Band, be proud of your efforts, be proud of yourself. Don't let anything affect your spirits. 

Pick yourselves up, move on as one Band. 

Getting a Bronze, Silver or Gold is just a bonus. It's the experience and the process which you gain, that is important at the same time, priceless. The time spent with your own sections, instruments, the Band. That is something that can't be taken away from you. Treasure it.

We can do it this Friday. Time to show everyone what we are capable of. 

FTPBand, a job well done!

WE CAN, WE WILL!

"Sometimes its not about the result, it's about the process."

Thank You's: 

Ms Loh: For your time and care in leading FTPBand to SYF 09. For all you have taught us be it music or life skills. Hope we have made your first SYF a memorable one!

Mdm Aini: For giving FTPBand the opportunity to play for SYF 09.

Teachers: For your time in opening the Band room almost everyday, having to stay back with us.

All Alumni: For coming back to help out with our music or one way or another.

On behalf of FTPBand, thank you all for your constant support and belief in us.
