The best moments in life, as a student of Ping Yi Secondary School was that of being a member of the most awesome marching band I've known and forever will be, Ping Yi Marching Band. I came in, in late November 2007 as a volunteer recruit. I was from NPCC but back then, I saw myself only as a band member, nothing else. I knew nothing about music. Marching, yes. I've been there and done that. But, I didn't know how to march and play music/my instrument at the same time, much less, playing any instrument. Before I came into band, I was exposed to how band was like. But, thanks to Ng Zhao Xun, he showed me videos of PYMB's SYF Outdoor '06 and Band Fiesta at Botanice Gardens. At that moment of time, I knew that, PYMB would change my last two years studying in Ping Yi into a much better and awesome way. And yes, PYMB did change my last two years in Ping Yi. As I attended the first practice, I was assigned into the Trombone section. Yes, I play the Trombone. The most unique instrument of all ochestra/band instruments. And the first person whom taught me how to play it, how to get the proper embrochure, how to get the proper sound, etc. Was none other than Carmel Joan Phillips. Yes, she did. She didn't give up teaching me and the other volunteer recruits in my section. She peservered on, and thanks to her 'never give up' attitude, I ended up playing the Trombone for PYMB. Several hours, days, weeks and months spent together with the members of PYMB. We've gone through thick and thin. To prep ourselves up for SYF Outdoor '08. This was my first ever and last SYF Outdoor competiton with PYMB. Although it's tiring and vigorous for some, I didn't give up. As what PYMB's Motto claims of the band, 'Conquer the Mind, Achieve the Dream'. That, somehow or rather, kept me going. To tell you the truth, I didn't even think that it was tiring. Marching and playing our instruments under the hot blazing sun. It wasn't. Seriously. Several months and band camps passed, it was already the day. The day where we, PYMB will show to the people out there, what we have in store for them. Central Judging for Display Band SYF '08.. We've obtained, a Silver. Yes, a Silver. All that blood, sweat and tears didn't really got wasted afterall. And yes, right now. It's just left with ONE DAY ! ONE DAY MORE ! Come on, PYMB. I know you can do it, because we believe in you. Don't keep thinking whether will you get that medal you want, don't think. Go and get it ! It is time. This is our moment. The 8 minutes of us, PYMB displaying our potential and getting that GOLD WITH HONORS ! YES !
