First thing first, great job to those who went to the
SAC Chairman's house last saturday for the performance!
Even though you guys had only about 2days to practice,
all of you still put in your best effort and hardwork and
did the band proud. 3 cheers for that! (:
I hope that all of you enjoyed the performance too
and at the same time, have the feel of performing outdoors.
Do keep up the good work!
------------------------------------
And now, for the whole band:
I would like to tell all of you that in 42 practices time,
you would be going for the SIBF competition.
And the 42 practices are including your holidays, CCA stand-downs.
Which actually means that you have lesser than 42 practices!
It's really very little and for each practice, we only have very little time,
especially on tuesdays. And do you always have the time to come back
for SIs either on monday or wednesday?
It's really time to feel the urgency, for every single one of you!
We do not have much time left and as responsible members of
the band, do cherish every second, every minute, every hour of
your band practice. The leaders have already emphasise to all
of you the importance of sectionals and how much you should
make use of the time given to clear up all your mistakes.
Start now, than later! Encourage one another to go on.
The journey might be tough but Damaiwindz members
never ever give up! We will hang on even though it's tough
and the leaders believe that, all of you have the potential
to excel and succeed.
As a band, we would work hard,
as a band, we would strive,
as a band, we would achieve,
as a band, we would succeed! (:
The will to persevere is often the difference between failure and success.

Hey band!
Do you realise how fast time flies?
It's already the start of February, the 2nd month of 2010.
It seems as if yesterday was just the first day of 2010 right?
Without you realising, everything is going to happen really quickly.
One of the example is: Sec1s are already coming in next week.
The sec4s, you guys are going to step down in a few months time.
It is already time for all of you to pass down all the knowledge you
have learnt in this past few years.
The sec3s, you guys are going to be the leaders of the band after the sec4s
stepped down and you would be the one leading the younger ones.
The sec2s, without realising,
you have already become a senior in your section
and it's time for you to take care of the sec1 juniors like how your seniors
taught and take care of you last year.
You guys have different roles and tasks you have to do or play for now.
Starting from next week, each and every single of you in Damaiwindz
are officially seniors of the band.
All the things you do, the examples you set,
the attitude towards learning or
trying will be what the new batch of sec1s will look up to.
They're young, they set all of you as their examples and they would follow.
All of you have to realise how important your actions are,
and being in the band
for a few years, I'm really sure all of you know the rules and regulations.
You guys know that you have to practice hard in order to play well and also
not forgetting to put in your heart, soul, passion and
determination in your playing.
You guys know it so just do it! (It rhymes, haha)
Everybody is a different individual, just because your friends did not do it,
it does not mean that you cannot do it too!
Unleash your talent, ability and be the first one to stand up
and be the special one.
I guess the leaders had said enough, regarding your attitude, playing
and discipline wise. To emphasise again: You guys know it! (:
Come on Damaiwindz, we got to move on and improve!
We haven't reach the moutain top yet, so let's strive hard as one
whole band to achieve the maximum.
Because you guys could, and I believe you guys will. (:
And before I move on,
I would like to tell the new leaders, heads, section leaders
that the time has finally come. The band will be fully yours
after about 2 months. Right now, the old leaders could
guide you along but after that, they would be gone.
But never ever say you cannot do it, we have faith
and trust in you, that's why we appointed you.
Never ever doubt your own ability becase you can do it!
Lastly, I would be posting the lastest section photos right here.
And I hope that the 'Smiles' from all your fellow band mates
would make you feel that 'Hey, as a band, we are going through
thick and thin together and I'm not alone.'
* Apologies for those whom I didn't post your section photos,
I would post it up as soon as I get it. (:

and inspire good actions in others.
