That's all to be said
Friday, August 1, 2008
Today was indeed a really interesting day, with full of surprises and excitements during the concert band graduation ceremony! The graduating seniors reported to the AVA at about 3.30pm, together with the guests and ex-seniors. The AVA was really decorated for the occasion, with balloons hanging and posters pasted on the walls, dedicated to us(graduating seniors). Thanks guys!
Firstly, Ms Ong gave a speech, starting with the usual formalities and then thanking the graduating seniors for their contributions to the band. Next, the band members played a piece for us, entitled "St. Petersburg March". Quite an interesting song, with a forceful tempo. Then it was followed
by the video presentation created by Shan Hui and Amanda, contributed by us. It was quite embarrassing when it showed my part so I shan't talk much about it :X But the other parts were humorous and overall, it was a great video.
Later, Shan Hui and Amanda each gave a speech. The presentation of the tokens of appreciation to the graduating seniors was next. Each of us received a soft toy stuffed in a cup and a certificate. The soft toy looked cute, though it was
an "unusual" token :P. And finally was the announcement of the new band leaders! The atmosphere during that time was really tensing as Ms Ong announced the new batch of leaders!
To all the newly elected SLs, Majors(Lorraine and Darren Ng) and other committee members, congratulations to all of you
guys! Work hard in your new posts and contribute your efforts to the band! Some of you guys might be disappointed on the posts you all received, but everything happens for a reason ya? So you never know, it might be a blessing in disguise :) To those who did not receive any post, don't be disheartened ya? You all are still very important in guiding your members, especially the juniors, and keeping the band in order.
Good luck and all the best in bringing the band to greater heights! Don't let your graduating seniors and ex-seniors down okay?
Oh finally, thank you to those who had given me gifts during the occasion. I really appreciate them a lot!
P.S. My Bedok View Concert Band journey has finally come to an end... :(
