Finally, SYF Central Judging for Band is here again. It's a two year once competition. The first time I took part in such a competition is in 2003 and then follow by 2005. I remembered that it was a special chance upon me whereby I can accompany the band and take part in such competition for 2 times unlike others from my same batch which were only able to join in the competition for year 2005.

In fact, my passion of music didn't really start from there but since primary school when I was one of the leader in the Augklung Ensemble. Band was just a continuous of my passion of music when I graduate from my primary school and move on the secondary school. However, band wasn't just all for now I could say.

Indeed, being in the main band scince secondary 1, I admit that I have grown much from there. Band has taught me alot of things. I wouldn't be able to side read music scores better than what I use to be if I wasn't in band. I wouldn't get to go in contact with so many different instructments that if I'll never join band, I'll regret it for sure.

Although it was hard work for all bandsmen just to get up onto the stage for just 15 minutes, it was always worthwhile when we obtain that medal together. I'll always remembered the cheer when we heard a bronze for the first time we entered SYF and then we worked hard again and true enough, our hard work paid off and gotten a silver for the second time we go for SYF.

Finally 2007 SYF has reached and the band is heading for the battle later on. It's no longer a possible for me to join in the competition but I'll still wish the band all the best. The judging for this year is really strict. Schools like Catholic High School which has gotten a Gold With Honor last year had obtain a Silver this year. The result is definitely scary. Whatever it is~ I hope the band well and do everyone who wants them good proud.
