Although, I don't carry any rank nor whatsoever in band and although I was once a volunteer recruit, but hey, something and definitely SOMETHING has got to be done, right ?? It's weird that why, from a highly disciplined band, has dropped its discipline, attitude and behaviour greatly.. I know, all of you had a long break right after 12th April 2008, which was our SYF Outdoor '08. Just because of that long break, all of you shouldn't drop your discipline, attitude and behaviour towards band. Have you all thought of the tiring, hard but well worth it trainings which we had for a total of 4 months from January up till our competition day. I really wonder, what had happened to them.. To, Sec 1s and the Sec 2s.. Sec 2s, all of you are now the senior for your Sec 1s. The previous batch of Sec 4s, your seniors, had led you all out for SYF Outdoor '08 together with the Sec 1s in hand. All of you have gone through thick and thin for SYF Outdoor '08.. But, have all you appreciated what the previous batch of Sec 4s had done so much for all of you ? I want all of you think through the past 4 months of hard, tiring but well worth it trainings which we had had from January 2008.. We had shed tears and blood throughout the trainings.. We had endured the pain, the sun and the rain on that particular field of our school.. We had marked the field with oil, time and again.. But, have all of you thought about why did we do so ? Give it all some thought.. Just after that long break, that doesn't mean that all of you should drop the discipline, attitude and behaviour towards band.. Sec 1s, why ? What really happened ? Why did all of you start to be defiant towards the band leaders; majors and section leaders ? Why have you all changed throughout the long break ? Where has your attitude and that feeling of yours, "I want to go for band" attitude ? As we, looked at all of you.. You are all determined to go for SYF Outdoor '08 but what happened now ? Why have you all started to disrespect everyone in band ? Including the alumnis and even Mr.Poh ? When one person is talking to you, right infront of your eyes, please, just remain silent. All of you can talk after band and go wherever you like.. And I know that, you think that what the seniors had done, you should follow them.. No, you're wrong.. Even if your senior had done something wrong, that doesn't mean that you should follow them.. About the matter, which all of you had done on last Saturday's practice. I know it's raining but, why did all of you climbed the gate ? Following whatever the seniors did ? The seniors had done a grave offence but why did all of you likewise, climbed the gate ? Why ? Why ?? WHY ?!!

Sec 2s, I know you're very vexed and stressed about the band.. Not only you, but the graduating seniors are too having problems.. All of you, as a senior, should lead them to the right path.. If you see anyone of them talking during combined music, ask them to remain quiet. Whenever you're having sectional marching, please be strict with them, buck up on their discipline.. On the whole, not only did the discipline of band drop, even all of your marching discipline had dropped.. Don't tell me that after the break, you should just slack, throw all your problems away and chill ? Have all of you done something good for the band ? Just by obtaining a Silver Award for SYF Outdoor '08 doesn't mean that you should all relax.. We still have our SYF Indoor and we are looking forward to SYf Outdoor '10. Don't tell me that you are not looking forward to it ? Have you all thought about the seniors ? They left the Sec 1s in your hand, knowing that you'll all lead them to greater heights.. Your seniors have great confidence and they are determined that you'll take good care of the band and the Sec 1s. They're hoping that you'll not make the band drop. But, now.. All of you have dissapointed the seniors.. Even me.. I know, some of you may dislike me or may think that I'm trying to overtake everything in band.. But, no.. I'm not doing so.. The Majors; Wah Jing, Aswan, Atikah and Sahidah, needs your cooperation and help to revive the band.. Help them in any way you can.. You may joke with them and bond tighter with them, but please don't go over the limit.. Everything has limitations.. When there's a time to be serious, then be serious, when there's a time for some laughter and fun, then crack some jokes.. As I looked at every Sec 2's attitude, they're letting down the previous batch of Sec 4s. Why aren't they acting as seniors ? Please, all of you, think.. What have you done ? What have all of you gone through, together with your Sec 1s and your seniors ? Please, this is a grave matter. To me, it's very serious.. Althought I'm new or once a volunteer recruit, don't look down on me.. You may not know me well enough, but if you have any problems or whatsoever and you can't cope with everyone's attitude and behaviour, you can either confide in me, the band leaders; SLs and Majors and even the Alumnis themself including the graduating seniors..

Why have everything turned to this ???
