hence...another SYF competition gone..well, the only difference that this has to the previous 17 ones is that RIMB didnt get the gold that they so wanted, the gold that they so deserved and the gold that they worked so hard well...
well guys, for us seniors, you ppl continuing the streak of the gold that we have obtained over the past years is not of the utmost importance, and we hope that you have realized that too..if SYF was all about getting your gold etc, then i think you have missed the point completely.
I hope that you all have known more about each other, made better friends, become closer batchmates, but ultimately, become a band...a band of musicians, of rafflesians but most importantly, a band of brothers
If you guys have achieved that, i will be truly proud of you guys, no matter what you all have achieved...yes, the award that you all get will be recorded in books of history...but after this, where do this go? it will just go to the cupboard where it will never ever be opened for eternity..nobody will remember what you guys have gotten after a decade...but you guys will remember the bonds you have forged over this competition/festival..you guys will have these friends forever..
Think not of what we think about you guys..the opinions of others do not matter as much as how you have viewed yourselves..if you all have tried your best, then i trust that there should not be any regrets lingering within any of you right now...you guys shld be proud of what you all have achieved...
Another thing that has made me proud of you guys is the maturity that all of you have displayed, especially the way you guys hold yourselves on stage...gone were the lack of confidence, and in came the true spirit of the Raffles Institution Military Band..that of self-confidence and pride...you guys have improved alot over this past half year since we passed over the baton over to the current sec4s..and i have to say, im PROUD OF YOU GUYS...
remember this motto...WE SHOULD WE MUST WE CAN WE WILL...you guys have lived up to it
