Good morning to all sec 4s. It felt like it was only yesterday when we joined the band. Its a wonder why I joined band. Probably the love of music and the desire to play the trumpet. Those great memories will for ever be remembered in my heart. I woke up this morning to suddenly think of those good old days in sec 1 in the old school: Sectionals in classrooms, dennis storming out of the room and han yong in our section for 2 years. Then in sec 2 when we moved to the basement bandroom: sharil putting a hole in hayden's head, hayden being a mummy's boy so scared of being dirty. And finally receiving the laquered courtois at the last band camp for the year. Our sec 4s left after that. Then came sec 3: SYF and Presentation Night and of course the occasional quotes from our section people like its a fluk and stuff like that. Saranian was in our section back then. Wonder how it would feel like having him in our section now. :) Then finally came our year to lead. Adam doing his thing and eugene acting accordingly... (u know wad i mean) then came 7th july and recently 6th august, THE MOST MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE IN MY BAND LIFE. Now, we finally step down, after 4 years of music making. Hope it wont end here. Some might continue in the JC while some continue as an alumni or join outside bands or orchestras. Wherever we go, keep the flaming quaver ever burning. As for the sec 2s, your time will come soon where you will have your own juniors and have your long awaited laquer cornet, a symbol of seniority and respect! I'm gonna miss you all..... long live the cornets!-------- shafiq
