I'm one of your alumni from flute section, Shirley.

As you see above poster,
I'm here to promote my school band, Republic Poly Wind symphony's concert.

Details can be found from Viva La Symphonie Blog

I believe this concert is worth for all of your money.

We're playing pieces like Miss Saigon, Variation from Korean Folk Song, Japanese Graffiti V,

and most importantly, Mr Kong Songlin on an Alto saxophone solo in the Singapore premiere of Sapphire Concerto!!!!

Plus, we will have during ensemble performance from woodwind, brass, percussion!!

SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, PLEASE COME UP WITH A TOTAL NO. OF TICKETS YOU WANT, FROM ME!!

cuz i'm suppose to collect the tickets for you all, as my secondary school juniors :)
its easier for my concert committee to sort out the tickets too :)

REMEMBER, GET A NO. OF TIX AND TELL ME!
ASAP :)

PLEASE PASS THIS AROUND TOO!!
let Mr Lun know about this too, okie ^^

you could let me know either from facebook, msn, or you could msg me if you got my contact.

It has been a long time in Skyband. Four years to be exact. Four years is a really long time. Every year i go through the pain and loss seeing seniors step down and leave us. Each year we get stronger and play better, recruiting new band members, teaching and honing their skills. We try our best. Now, we step down. We leave you guys to takecare of the future juniors, to love and discipline them like how we did. Life has to move on. I will come back as often as possible, just dont think we're irritating. Hahaha. Anw, I wont forget all the fun times we had. Every performance, every Cip, every new batch of sec ones( no matter how dumb you guys looked when you came in). Life in band was fulfilling. It was more than that, it was BAGUS! But, now is the time to step down and get back to reality, studies, O lvl. All of you will go through this again next year, and soon it will be your turn to step down. Just remember, Skyband did help in your development, Skyband is PART OF YOU. No matter how old you are, sitting in a broken down rusty old Old Folks Home, You are a Skyband member. No natural disaster will change that fact (: Just make a pact in your heart with yourself that you WILL come back to visit whenever you can, no matter how rare or how often, Pay a visit to our Skyband. Even if you dont remember a single face, We're still family (: Just of musical blood i guess. Haha. Appreciate and enjoy the time you have left in Skyband, cus i didnt do it enough. I miss everyone. I miss you all. Much as i hate to step down, I wish i could turn time back. A simple smile and a heartwarming laugh is enough to take you far, nurture love in the band. Go all out and do your best and dont let us down (:

And yes, we aimed for a Gold. We're not lousy. The best we did, we maintained standards. We got a Silver. It doesnt sound as magnificent or victorious like a Gold. But a Silver isn't bad either. Sad as i was we cried like hell, cussing and cursing, but no. We dont blame no one. No fault. Nothing. No matter how lousy we are, how fantastic, WE ARE ONE BAND ONE SOUND. We get together to become SKYBAND. We are not individuals. No one to be blamed for, but all to be thanked that we achieved a Silver. There are many factors to why we didnt achieve Gold. But, it's not to late to correct and work harder, for you guys. WORK HARD AND ACHIEVE A GOLD FOR US. You dont have to promise. All you need to do is your BEST. And that is all that we ask. EFFORT.

i congragulate everyone, for our wonderful achievement of SILVER. We must be proud for our glory. Just like me,
I'M PROUD TO STEP DOWN WITH A SILVER! (:
I intentionally put silver in Gold colour, because for all it's worth, all the effort the love the fun in the process, Silver is as good as a Gold (:

with truckloads of luck, love and joy,
JoanChuaWeiying, out. (;

My message :
It has been so long when we have been together as a band.
Everybody have put in alot of effort, our alumis, teachers and all of you all.
I am happy that we played such a wonder piece today.
It is okay to get Silver, as we tried our very best and we did achieve what is expected of us.
We came in on time and followed the beat.
As for the sec 2s this year, i hope that u all will learn to be independent and help the juniors for the 2 yrs later's SYF. Hope to see improvements and be sure that i will be back after my O level to help you all. Thank you for all these wonderful memories, and i think that everyone of us will cherish it.
Today, i can see alot of heartfelt scenes and this is one of the things that we must have.
REMEMBER THIS ALWAYS : Have confidence when you are playing and Focus.

ONE BAND, ONE SOUND. ONCE A BAND, FOREVER A BAND.

Remember that always.
All our Alumnis have put in alot of effort in this band. And they will always be remembered.

My last message is, Believe you can do it and you will achieve.

Good luck skyband !

Hanwei
