Short Visit

Going home today, I managed to catch a glimpse of the Perc ensemble practice. It was pretty well rehearsed, and the choice of "instruments" was pretty cool. Very creative!

However, what struck me more was the lack of Percs. Where are the sec 3s, the batch leading SYF'09? Now is the time for them to shine. It is the time for them to slowly take over, and get a feel of the ropes. In the short run, we should aim for excellence in our performance. But at the same time, we must not neglect nor forget the long term goals of the band.

I hope that in the upcoming preparations for Prometheum, the sec 4s will actively engage the sec 3s in helping out, to give them the experience they need in leading the section or the band. The demands of hosting an event can only be learnt by experience, and experience alone. Let us not forget that ultimately, they will still be the seniors of the band in '09. The year of SYF.

I have confidence that RIMB will put up a great performance 3 nights from today. Next year, I hope that I will be able to say the same. Work hard and play hard!
