The moment before 2nd NBC

Dear All,

Now is the start of Saturday...

That means we are 1 day before our NBC competition day. A day that we have been working towards. This time round we are in a division where all the good bands are in. A division that has stronger competitors, the Open division.

We managed to clinch a Gold Award and Top band position in the last NBC. That was something we have achieved in the past.

For now...

To achieve something in Open Division is not an easy thing. I believe all of us know that. Up till now we have yet to have a single FULL band which is a fact that all of you know... but I don't think we should just stop there and wait for everyone to appear and have full band.

We should just work on our own parts till it is as perfect as possible. We do not need to wait for full band to clear up those mistakes that we have now during those precious full band time.

For now, I guess majority of us are working very hard to clear up all our problems as much as possible, I know a lot of people are trying very hard. You people are doing fine. Seriously.

Those who have yet to clear up the mistakes, we still have 1 day... yesh 1 day to work on those mistakes.

I hope everyone will give their VERY BEST in practicing their part in the last pract that will happen in the afternoon. This will be our last pract before the competition on Sunday. It is very precious and I hope everyone will be focusing on their parts.

We don't have any more time to waste. So let's FOCUS!!

Our main objective for this competition is to bring out the Music written by the Composer. Bring out the emotion, bring out the message the composer wants to convey, bring out the Music to everyone in the audience.

Let everyone knows that Maris Stella Symphonic Band Alumni is a band that is capable of playing music with emotions and music that touches people's hearts.

I believe in everyone in the Maris Stella Symphonic Band Alumni... I trust every single one of you... you all will seriously create miracle and let this legacy continues.

Thank you for all the efforts you all have done for these few weeks, it has been a good job for everyone trying to come down for practice. Really appreciate everyone's efforts!!

This very last day before NBC...

Let's practice hard and focus!

Let's us work hard and give our best on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's aim to move everyone to tears with our music on 13th July 2008!!!
