To Whitley Concert Band(: ,

New Head Committee,
Finally it's your turn at the helm of the band, always remember, you are there for a reason. Never ever forget that it's your band, the decisions you make, will determine the future of the band. Always put the band's interest first, never your own personal selfish interest. And of course, i wish you all the best, do not disappoint Mr Tan.

Junior Band,
Your concert is not too far from today, work hard, practice hard, and believe in yourself. You will all go far(: Remember to never ever give up on yourself or on the band, because that is the greatest sin you can ever commit.

This will be my last post as your ex-band major(:
