As a newbie, i think i am so so lucky to have been part of this batch. i really loved my time in band. i'm so glad i joined (: thank you for the all the joy and all the amazement. i can hold my head up high and proudly say I was part of the magic of the sajcband at 1:18 PM 0 comments
Nothing i can ask for more                Sorry if i flooded this post with photos upon photos. but i guess it serves as a memory for everyone of us. so that when we come back and revisit the blog, we revisit the memories of SAJCCB 2008. Both nights were magical. Of course to the j2s, Saints E Muzica was smthg they will die remembering. and to me, the performance at Taka was something i will die remembering. the not so perfect pieces we played, yet i know we played with our hearts. there are definitely rooms to improve, and we will strive to work as hard. beautiful "Twins", as i see a line of hope. the line formed by the j2s at the encore song, to me it was hope, it was expectations, it was encouragement, it was pride. Thank you J2s, for being there to support us. There is nothing i can ask for, more. thank you cornet seniors, for the pretzels. and the "Not normal" card. You guys, are people i will die remembering too. Love. And to my batch! i love you guys totally! CORNET SECTION ALMIGHTY! the MISS (Mark Ivan Siying Sheldon) section. let's look forward to a time of bonding and training in Perth. and a hell lot of fun time with each other. Let's cherish every practice we have with one another, as a batch, because time will soon fly. SAJCCB is magical, there is nothing more you can ask for. Ssy at 12:01 AM 0 comments

I will never forget today, 22nd May '08. Twins was amazing when we played it for the j2s. Although we might not have sound good enough, but the feeling was all there, I could feel it. That feeling made me cry, for the first time ever in my entire band life. Just like what siying quoted bean, "forget any negativity or fear on stage and just play with your heart". "Play with your heart", that's what we did during twins i felt. I really wanna thank the j2s for walking through this short but great path with us! Daniel, Huihong and Joey! It's great to be able to play with you guys :) And lastly of course I LOVE YOU GUYS TRUCKLOADS! :D -sam at 11:05 PM 0 comments

Finally, the day has arrived for SAJC Band to showcase their effort and hardwork over the past many months, and indeed I'm very proud of you - you've not only proven yourselves what other people might not be able to accomplish, but most importantly what SAJC Band is all about. Forget about the little hiccups that happened on stage for what is important was that everyone managed to piece up again together as one band and continued the show - commendable. Forget about the one whom may have caused the errors on stage, for what is important was that it was at least a humane performance that everyone will remember - not for the mistakes, but for the time spent on stage together - forgivable. Forget about the musical issues that may have already happened in the music, for what is important was that everyone felt satisfied and congratulate each other for the moving music on stage- memorable. Thank you for the wonderful performance. Well done. Music do not stop here, Benji -taken with permission from Benji(aka Mr Yeo)'s blog at 9:06 PM 0 comments

Whatsoever Things...Finally, dearest batchmates, Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise in our journey together as a batch, let us continue think on these things, even as the time has come for us to part. We all can indeed be proud to have left a legacy that was true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous and praiseworthy... once upon a time. - Jeremy

IT'S OVER! Hah I must really say that the experience last night was really a special one. Though the concert didnt start on a right note, it ended off with a bang! WHAO! Whatsoever Things!!! What a wonderful feeling to play with all your heart and being able to 'feel' when u play. The moments immediately after Whatsoever Thing were really touching. People crying, shaking hands, hugging on stage. All the emotion, almost the whole batch crying. Hah this is really an experience everyone should aim for man! To play till you cry. HAH. THE MUSICAL! I would say that it was a success! Many thanks to all involved, which is the entire band of course. Every part played an important role in its execution. What can i say man, we worked as a team and we did it! All the effort we put in, the late nights practicing for musical band, acting, building props, costumes, doorgifts. The scares we all hand from our 2 "paikah" leads. One with the toe and the other limping the day before the concert! Whatever it is, the experience was really a great one, one that i would treasure and remember. Hah so 18th May 2008! Saints e Muzica: Once Upon a Time. A day to remember. SAJCCB! One Family Unbroken! at 1:06 PM 0 comments
It's timeI can't seem to sleep. I'm thinking about what will happen tomorrow, and in the future after the j2s leave. but i guess to all the j1s, let us do our best, stay calm and composed, play for the j2s and our fellow batch mates. Bean told my section, "forget any negativity or fear on stage and just play with your heart." Bean hayden syafiq caryl melisa syarah, it is my honour to be able to play with you guys. wonderful people with extraordinary (to me) playing. I LOVE ALL OF YOU! SSY at 1:20 AM 0 comments
IT'S TIME, IT'S TIME! They would exclaim. SAJC fills with cheer! Whatever it is, we ll do our BEST! SAJC BAND CONCERT IS HERE!!!!!!!! at 12:32 AM 0 comments
 <3have a blast tmr (: eve; at 10:25 PM 0 comments
tmr is our time to shine. to hope that our performances will be flawless, would be too idealistic. but whatever glitches we may have, we can make up for by playing with our hearts. like benny said, 'just enjoy yourself'. which is true. because there is no more practise at that point, its all about execution, about doing what we have been practising for months, to be able to do. and remembering to do it. for the musical, im glad to say, the cast has gone a long way. =) its heartwarming to see everyone put in effort, and press on. all the way for tmr, fluidity, fluidity, fluidity. as long as everyone is natural, at ease, nothing will look contrived, and things are best when they are real. final note, lets try not to laugh at hayden's hair, however ridiculous it looks whenever he swings it. `syarah at 9:53 PM 0 comments
