Silver.
We did our best. 'professional' ears can call us a Silver, but beating hearts tell us we're more than that. we know ourselves better than five strangers who had heard us for 8 minutes.

Thank you everyone, for all the support you've been giving

the fact that we are who we are itself, requires no SYF result to prove .I'm sure many of us are still feeling upset and dissappointed. sometimes when you take a step back and look. you'll realised how much we've learnt .

we've learnt from failures , we've learnt from success . we've learnt how to get in control of things and we'll definately learn how to let go of things. sometimes we might be first , sometimes we might not be first . but for everything we've gone through , we grow stronger , wiser and tougher each time.

Come to think of the times we prepared for SYF, it had been really memorable. infact the most enriching time for some of our life in yuying, and yes, it's been rocky. along the way ,

we felt lathagic for the endless practices .
we felt fustrated for not getting our parts right.
we felt stressed out when the heat is on.
we felt upset when not all woke up.
we felt tired when not many is moving

many gave up halfway through.

For those who didn't , i'm proud of you.

You grit your teeth not only for yourself, but for the whole ensemble who would be worse off if you decide to let go.

as much as it's engulfed with so much of sorrow and taxing moment, there's still fun and joy. remember ..

the time we laughed at all the little actions mr yeo made
the time rujun will just suddenly burp
the time kengwee snored while laughing
the time we go " MOREEEE" , " QI GONG" & "MACHINE GUN"
the time we joked together
the time we laughed at people's darkest secret - Z****R
the time we had dinner together after practices
the time we enjoyed ms tan conducting and her facial expression

we stand with pride and glory.Leaded by our passionate conductor, we did our best , we played our hearts out and most importantly, we enjoyed.

As the music flow , we heard the backbone of the guitar ensemble sound -the guitaron. some of you saw it ,Wen an moved with style . A style that you'll never get to see during practice. Next, you heard the bass & contra bass. their firm and assured notes gave security to everyone.
then our prime2, with their constant pulse liked note for summer wind and their strong and firm "rascrado" , it gave a kick start for our 1st song and an impactful feeling for our 2nd song. followed up is our alto 2 ,for their running notes. last but definitely not the least , our alto. you heard their sharp and precised notes. it is surely fulled with energy.

as the saying goes " all good things have to come to an end "

After the last note rang through the hall, we heard the audience clap. I just started smiling and I looked at our conductor, hoping he was pleased.

I listened to our recording and every time I listen to it, I feel it and I feel our love, and that's enough for me now.

When hopes begin to die, that's when the passion lives on.

This has been a long and dreary post and an applaud to the souls who have made it . it captured every morning practices, every guitar practices, every tear and every smile dedicated to guitar.

somedays , we will get there.
