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. (:
