my dear sec 4 batchmates,

our time in the SJIMB is almost over and how we wish we could live this life changing experience of loving the band, being the first batch to march for AP, going for the japan trip, getting the Gold with honours and most importantly, taking over the band.

often we recall those sec 1 days, how young as a bandsman we were, those happy memories of edmund sleeping during sectionals, sebastian running away from insects and elton pleading with ryan. we were followers then, only caring about learning and getting into the main band, and more often than not getting into trouble but not getting punished by our kind ROs, Ping Yi and Zhi Xiong. sometimes i wonder if it was our ROs kind treatment to us that gave us our pride and unity as a batch.

as we moved on to sec 2, we started to learn how to love the band, and through DM dominic yao's guidance and leadership we learnt to bond with each other and love the band even more. the many pumping sessions we had throughout the year made us think of our commitments to the band. the many QM's staffs we had bonded us even closer and the time spent in japan together and the many experiences throughout the year like trying out how to teach sec 1s music made us a batch that seemed strong, united and full of love for the band.

however as we progressed to sec 3, a new world awaited us. we had to learn how to lead the band. our bonds were tested and some felt that the band was the place they did not want to go anymore. our unity and love in the band was in a mess. some gave up, but some had faith in our batch, that ours will be a good batch of leaders in the end. after a while, with some unseen magic, those that worked hard to bond the batch together again eventually were successful.

now, in our final months as leaders, we should pass down any experience we have yet to pass down and make every effort to make all bandsmen united, strong and full of love for the band as our seniors did before us, that groomed us into one of the best batches the band has ever seen. to maintain our standards in the four aspects of band, lets make our remaining time in the SJIMB a time we will never forget in our lives and make the sec 1s fit in the band, make the sec 2s love band and make the sec 3s learn how to lead the band, as our seniors taught us how when we were still learning.

so remember, our time in the band is limited but it doesnt mean we cannot make a difference before leaving. lets all start by turning up on the next parade to revive the passion in the band.

"Day 4. April 2nd. AM Session. Band Number 59.
St. Joseph's Institution.
GOLD. With Honours."

A year ago, we were celebrating our victory together. And now, we are nearly stepping down already! When I really try and sink this feeling, it really sucks. All I can say to everyone is, please, appreciate one another. We'll be 'friends forever' but our time left together in the SJIMB is limited. Make full use of it. There still things we need to achieve as a batch before we pass out[refer below tagboard]. Especially a batch photo with everyone inside and a batch outing with 100% attendence, which we MUST and WILL have in the early part of june holidays for sure. Let's leave as one of the greatest batches the band has ever faced. =)
