Hey Guys & Girls,

Seemed to me that I can see the band starting to grow, in maturity and unity. We have faced lots of problems, and we are always working together to overocme it. This spam, somehow give me the feeling of pride, especially when i see how band members try to talk to him. However, i have got something to say. Everyone knows that there will be a change in conductor. I hope this change is doing us more good than bad, and, let this be the new beginning of everything. Warrior had somehow made me believe in something, and that is making me believe in the band and proving that he is wrong. I might not be taking you all next year, as i am graduating this year. But, I really hope you all show him that we can do it together. After this incident, i think the band has matured a lot. I really see everyone putting in the effort, and courage to overcome this. We can do it! Believe it! Let's keep up the spirit and carry on striving together as a band. Warrior, i also wish that your CCA will strive as high as possible.

Warrior, I really wish you all the best. And Whitley Concert Band, let this be one of our reason to strive.^^ We can DO it! Let's STRIVE!=) Let tomorrow become a NEW beginning.

Hey Guys & Girls,

There seem to be a scam by a person named "Warrior". But, just leave him alone. Don't get too agitated and stuff, and don't get into trouble because of this kind of people. We'll do something about it of course. But if we are making a change of blog, I need all the band members to keep everything to yourself. We might be securing it with a password, if possible, and also getting some forum for all of you to post things you wish to share with the band. If anyone of you knows who the culprit is, do let any of the Head Commitee Members know. We'll deal with it in a way it should be dealt with.

Secondly, this is the the summary for today's Games Day. I am sorry for shouting at all of you when it is suppose to be such an happy event. I apologise because i think all of you are just too excited and had no intention of making things difficult for me. I am really sorry for losing my temper. I am sorry that everything didn't go really well, but i hope to recieve more attention from you guys next time round. No more slacking, 'cause I don't wish the band standard will drop. I believe everyone want things to be good as usual for the band, but in order for this to happen, we need to solve every problem we have now. I really hope to get everyone's cooperation starting from the next practice onwards. If there is anything that you think is a problem that might drag us down, feel free to come ask me, and i will gladly answer all your doubts. If you ever had any problems with your instruments and stuff, look for the Head Commitee. We'll be glad o help anyone who come to us for help.=)

Coming back to the guy, we will be putting a password not because we want to sort of give him a feeling that we are caring much about what he says. I just hope the band feels more secure and hopefully this is a way the Head Commitee actually care for you all. For the guy, if you know who the person is, please tell us. Okay?

Lastly, i just hope that everyone will work hard for your exams and for band. I really don't wish to punish any one of you. Let's work together as a band, and eliminate those who try to stop us from moving forward. And, proving to them we can play is the best way to eliminate them. Okay? Let's work together.^^


-Justin.=)
