To all sec 4s.
We will be on standby during SAJS's SYF day to help them out with logistics and setting up of equipment. Details: Thursday 10 April, sometime in the afternoon. We will be dismissed from school earlier. Venue is SCH. I guess we could call it our last Sai Kang job together.. LOL.

I guess it's all over now, isn't it?

Well, it's been a great time with you crazy sec4s bastards for the past 4 years, we've been through all the crap Ben Thia has thrown at us.. remember the 250 push ups back in sec2? Heh. Sec2s, it's been fun with you guys around, as you become the leaders of the percussion section I hope you will maintain your high standards and not play around like Jeremiah. Even though there's no sec3 percussionist, I'm sure you have the maturity to make right decisions. I wish you all the best in leading the sec1s and ultimately your own direct juniors. As with the theme for this year, we're going beyond our best.

I'm surely going to miss Ben Thia's constant nagging, phone calls and truthfully, quite productive sectionals. We should all agree our high standards are due to his constant reminders. No matter how much we despise him, we really owe him a lot.

It's been a fun and great last concert, and I really treasure the experiences we've shared together. There's still plenty of room of improvement, and I have faith you juniors will rise to greater heights. Thanks for all the memories, and I'll see you guys around.

It's been an honour being with you guys, and I salute you! *Salute*
